The food really was amazing and we could not recommend you guys highly enough to anyone. Steve, Groom.

The pulled pig and crackling was out of this world, as was the halloumi I with tarragon mushrooms, served in a freshly buttered bun, with delicious salad and sweet potato chips. Delicious from beginning to end, what a gastronomic treat! Food from Shellfish Pigs, yes please! Please, Sir, may I have some more? Susan, Guest at event.
