Debbie and her team were beyond exceptional. Everyone absolutely enjoyed the food and there was more than enough for everyone. They were on time, they set everything up and we didn't have to worry about a thing. I would 1000% recommend Spice it up BarBQ! You will not be disappointed xx

Booked for Birthday party

I can’t rate them highly enough. Paul was very professional both in the lead up to. and the evening itself. We opted for a meal with the lava stones. The food was fabulous and exceeded our expectations. I can definitely recommend Paul and the lava stones to others. Paul cleaned everything up after the meal. It was a truly great evening for us all and an experience to remember.

Booked for Birthday party

"Piggy Piggy Hog Roast catered for our recent garden party. We opted for the £495 option, basically 150 cobs and for an extra £50 we added pork 50 sausages and hotdog rolls to cater for the children and fussy eaters. Everyone was delighted with the food, the staff were absolutely lovely and we’d recommend them and use them again in a heartbeat. We had 85 guests, had pork and sausages left over."

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
