Honestly you guys are amazing! Soup to nuts from the moment I first called for a quote to the moment your guys left the party and everything in between. The food was amazing and everyone was thrilled!

This is the best barbecue on the North Shore but in addition to their amazing ribs & brisket you have to get their uncooked meat for the home grill. We got the Fourth of July package. The small one. It was enough food for days. Plus every single thing from the corn bread & coleslaw to the burgers, hotdogs, steak tips & chicken were top shelf. Their marinated steak tips are the best tips I've ever had. My whole family fought over them. Even the hot dogs were amazing. This is my new GO-TO for meats & sides. FIVE STARS!

Big Pig BBQ and Catering is THE BEST! Doreen was super informative and helpful during the planning process for my work holiday party! They are super flexible with the menu and can sub things in and out if applicable. She was available by phone and email at the drop of a hat! The response time is very quick. Now onto the food! The food is literally unreal. I have experienced their service and food a few times now, for my shower and the work party I just hosted. The staff in my building were raving about the food that night and still to this day. Everyone was going up for seconds and took some To Go boxes home. If you have not tried their food... get their now! Only thing I would recommend is making sure to ask for some BBQ for the catering! Can't wait to have them back again!

I don't think five stars are enough. The food was yummy, service outstanding, We could not have such a great time without them.

Big Pig did a GREAT job with a pig roast for my husband's 40th birthday. The presentation was great, the cornbread was the best I have ever tasted!! They were prompt, set up and clean up was fantastic, the employee was unbelievably fun and outgoing. I would 100% hire this company again! Do not hesitate to book with them. So super easy and very reasonably priced!!!

We can't say enough about how awesome BPBBQ is! They recently catered our 50th Class Reunion and everything was perfect. The two young men who set up and cooked were on time, friendly and professional. They were great representatives of your company. The food was delicious, fresh and hot. Many attendees commented on how good it was! We highly recommend Big Pig BBQ! 


Jeanne C., Billerica



9/7/19

You guys did a fabulous job! The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I will recommend you to everyone I know. My guests were totally impressed with the whole thing. The cornbread got a particular shout out as being some of the best people have ever had. Thank you again!

With only one day's notice, Big Pig Barbecue delivered to my home and set up trays of St. Louis Ribs, beef brisket, and baked beans for my office outing. This set up included warming trays, plastic ware, paper plates, napkins and wet naps. All of the food was delicious, and the guests raved about the ribs and brisket. Thank you - you helped make my annual office party a success (and with short notice)! 

Nick L, Georgetown

I never leave reviews but I've used these guys twice - once for a pig roast and once for a regular backyard BBQ. Food is amazing. The crew is awesome. I'm a raving fan. Highly recommend if you want high quality BBQ without spending 2 days prepping and your whole party sweating over the grill. I'll definitely use them again.

Chris, Jon & All of the Big Pig Crew,

From my initial contact with Big Pig to the lingering delicious aroma as the smoker rolled away from my driveway --- the entire experience made my son's "welcome home from Afghanistan" party a HUGE success.

My son, his guests and our family members will always remember the delightful pig presentation and the mouth watering food.

I will always remember how wonderfully easy and stress free the entire Big Pig Crew made the day.

As expected your crew:  Arrived on time.  Efficiently set up.  Served.  And cleaned up.  However, what really wasn't expected was just how accommodating and personable the guys were going to be.  Your guys tweaked the serving time when I asked, patiently displayed the roasting pig to everyone that was curious and pleasantly carried on conversations with everyone.

ALL of the food was tastier than imagined, however, the Mac & Cheese was amazing!  There were multiple "self-appointed Mac & Cheese connoisseurs" present at the party.  Each and every one of them stated that the Big Pig's Mac & Cheese was hands down, by far, the absolute best they have ever tasted!!!!!   Please don't change the recipe and please, please, please start selling trays of it.

I can't tell you how much I (and my guests) look forward to your retail store and restaurant.

Please put me on your e-mail list so that I can be kept in the loop of your exciting future endeavors.

And you can be certain, I will be talking Big Pig up to all that will listen!

Again, thank you for everything,

Pati C., N. Reading



8/29/19

Everyone had A great time at the bbq pig roast!  Chris and Alex (I’m pretty sure those were their names) were awesome and very friendly and accommodating. The food was terrific and plentiful! I would definitely engage your services again.

Thanks for everything,

Steve S., Lexington

Better late than never for this review. We had Big Pig BBQ cater our ~215 person wedding. They were phenomenal - everything from the set-up to the food to the service to dealing with some unforeseen issues. I really couldn't have asked for anything better. And I know everyone tells you that your wedding food was good even if it sucked, but so far three people who had Big Pig at our wedding have used them to cater their own events (including 2 other weddings!). The only problem was 100% my own fault (I did not hire a wedding planner which proved to be kind of a problem for a DIY outdoor wedding for 215 people), and there was a mix up about whether the caterers or venue would handle the trash. The staff from Big Pig were SO helpful and SO accommodating in helping out! They really went above and beyond to help with what was my mistake. I knew I would be in no shape to handle tipping at the end of the night, so I gave my brother (who has years of experience in the food service industry and was sober) an envelope full of cash and told him to figure out the tip at the end of the night. He came up to me and was like, sorry I hope this is ok but I gave them the whole envelope, they were awesome. In hearing that from him I knew it wasn't just the wedding day endorphins (or champagne...) but that Big Pig is the real deal and just did an incredible job. Even now, people STILL mention the food anytime our wedding comes up. Thanks Big Pig!!

I booked BigPig about 2 months in advance because my dates were flexible (you may need more lead time). They arrived when they stated, the two servers were always asking what they could do to help and kept me in the loop about timing. They even cut and served the birthday cake. We had the green salad, potato salad, corn, mac n cheese, chicken, steak tips and chicken. It served vegetarians, chicken-only people and kids. Everyone said it was great. We loved the presentation, the timeliness, the assistance, the boxing up of leftovers and the clean up. It made my son's birthday party a breeze with little work from me. If I do another big party I wouldn't hesitate to book BigPig again.

This is the 3rd year we have used Big Pug Barbecue for our annual Employee Appreciation Day. As usual, it was great food, great service, and great people. All at a reasonable cost, too. Nothing better. Thank you,. Big Pig crew!

Jan L., Taunton

Hired these guys for a backyard birthday party this weekend. Best catering decision I've made. My guests raved about the food. The service was amazing, the staff super professional and friendly. They kept it stress free for me. They served the food right at the right time, without me having to tell them and packed up leftovers for later. Will definitely be using them again. Thanks Big Pig Barbecue! 

Anisa S, Middleton

We had Big Pig Barbecue cater our 240 person company BBQ last week. They did an absolutely fabulous job and the event could not have gone any better! Their staff was very attentive and professional. They not only set up the buffet and ran food, they also set up our rented tables/chairs and iced down/filled our drink buckets. In terms of food, we had dogs, burgers, chicken, mac & cheese, salad, and corn. The burgers and dogs were cooked perfectly, the chicken had a nice crispy skin and was very tender/juicy, and all of the guests could not stop talking about the mac and cheese. We had an excellent time and look forward to having Big Pig Barbecue cater our event again next year! 

Lauren M., Peabody



I would like to thank you for your excellent service. The gentleman that set up was fantastic! The food was very good and a few people took yours cards. 

Again, thank you, 

Debra



Used big pig bbq for a 50 th birthday party, communication from start to finish was easy. They made great recommendations what we should serve. They set everything up the day of the party , made everything very easy for us. The most important part the food ... was awesome everyone commented how great the food was. I will most definitely be using them again !!! 



This was our third biennial Pig Roast and have always used Big Pig and wouldn't think of using anyone else. The staff is professional and very friendly and accommodating. Everyone loves the food, has a great time and anxiously looks forward to the next one.

Awesome food, awesome service! Very flexible in coordinating a last minute company picnic and it all went off without a hitch. Have a wide variety of different foods to choose from and it was all terrific!!

8/11/19

Big Pig is BIG, DELICIOUS BARBECUE! First off, they were great to deal with. They made suggestions and answered every email. We had Steve as the barbecue chef at our company summer event and he was terrific. The food was great and everything was set up in a professional, friendly way. Everyone commented on how wonderful everything was. I would highly recommend using Big Pig for your next Barbecue!! 

JoAnne M., Lowell



8/11/19

We LOVED it!! The staff was great and the food was absolutely amazing!! Some of the feedback that we've gotten is best ever for our Watertown company picnics in addition to best ever for what Boston has to offer for BBQ. Count us in for next year at the Thoreau Club and we are definitely going all out with your pig roast! The VP of HR from  Corporate HQ in Chicago was here for the event and I got the budget significantly increased for next year!! Thanks again for such great food and working with us to make this year such a memorable event!!!

Michael D., Concord



8/11/19

Big pig catered our event including set up of a tent, tables & chairs. It was a seamless process. Everyone raves about the food and service. As promised, we did not have to do a thing. Thank you to the entire Big Pig BBQ crew that made this happen. We highly recommend them.

Susan S., Wakefield



8/10/19

We used Big Pig BBQ for a backyard office party. They were responsive via email, accommodating and just great to work with. The food was delivered on time, it was tasty and the person who brought it was super friendly. Awesome job! :)

I highly recommend BigPig BBQ for any event. The food is delicious and staff is professional and friendly. They went above and beyond for the event my company put on and everyone was still talking about it the next day.

Jessica G., Waltham



8/7/19

I wanted to tell you how happy I am that I chose you as caterers for our event yesterday. Everyone was blown away by the food and impressed by your staff and how professional they were. 

Quite a few people have asked about your business and where you're located. I will recommend you to anyone who asks and definitely keep your information for any of our future events.

Thank you!

Jessica G., Waltham



Everything was fabulous and Jon & Shane were great!  I am getting caught up on some personal stuff today, but I promise I will put a great review on google & yelp this week!

Noreen M., Charlestown



8/5/19

I hired Big Pig for a corporate event and our group said this was our best summer event to date. 80 people total. They were able to cater to vegetarian needs with black bean burgers. Pig was beautiful, cooked perfectly, and delicious. Pulled pork was smokey, steak tips and chicken were juicy and really flavorful and tender. Beans and mac n cheese were also delicious. They arrived organized, on time, and setup quickly. Thanks for dealing with our corporate limitations and Boston city fire ordinances for outdoor cooking. It's hard working with a company as big as ours, even when only feeding 80 of the thousands of employees we have, we still have alot of red tape to deal with.

Edwin L., Boston



7/31/19

I was away on vacation and haven’t had a chance to thank you all again for the company lunch you catered for us on July 17th.  Just like last year, everything was amazing…the food…the service…everything!  We are impressed with the way everything was handled from beginning to end!  The food was delicious and your staff was friendly and professional.  There’s not one thing you could have done better. 

 

I was more than happy to leave a review on yelp and I rave about Big Pig to family and friends!

 

Thanks again!

We hired Big Pig to come in and cater our company BBQ lunch for 200 people. This is the second year in a row we used them because they do such a great job. They come in and set up their grills, cook and serve the food and clean up everything before they leave. They are friendly and professional and their food is amazing. They even went out of their way and set up all our tables and chairs for our employees!I was impressed with their service and would highly recommend them for any event!

Michele L., Andover



7/30/19

We wanted something different and fun for our daughter's college graduation party and Big Pig BBQ was it! Tim and Liam were awesome! They were so helpful and accommodating! The food was absolutely amazing, delicious and plentiful!! No question in our minds - we would definitely recommend and use them again!!

The food was amazing, the service was amazing and the overall experience from booking to clean up was easy! I would highly recommend Big Pig Barbecue & Catering - they catered my resident BBQ at the apartment community I manage and it was very smooth - and as mentioned above, the food was fantastic.

Mallory L., Andover



7/29/19

BBQ masters! Personable, professional and reliable! I’ll never ever go anywhere else. My 2nd time having Big Pig Bbq cater my Hawaian Luau and it was a huge success each time! They are the real deal!

April L., Saugus



7/29/19

To say you all are AMAZING is an understatement! I’ve left several reviews telling people how much I recommend you all! Jarret and (omg, I fell terribly that I can’t recall his name) were magnificent! Everyone was asking for your business cards and they raved about everything from the pulled pork to the salad dressing! I’ll continue to recommend your place to everyone I know! Thank you❤

April L., Saugus



7/26/19

We had them cater our corporate event at Endicott Park for 50 people and everything was fabulous.   All the food was delicious, especially the chicken. YUM!!!   They were prompt and a pleasure to work with.   Highly recommend them!

Talia D., Danvers



7/25/19

Perfect in every way!  We used Big Pig for several large company outings and they are huge hits each time. They even packaged up our leftovers for the later crowd.  Great food and professional staff - HIGHLY recommend!!

Cindy W., Westborough



7/24/19

I wanted to thank you for doing an awesome job on an absurdly hot day. The crew was very cool and sounded happy to be there, even with the tar melting under their feet.

The food was great, everyone enjoyed it immensely. Much tastier than I ever made myself, even though the others wouldn't tell me to my face. 

Personally, I was super psyched that someone else was stuck in front of the fire all day.

Anyway, just I wanted to let you know that we all really appreciated the work you put in.

I'll definitely be in contact if we need your services again.

Luke R, Waltham



7/22/19

They did an amazing job catering my daughters wedding July 2019.  Food was great!  The staff was awesome!  You will not be disappointed.  Thank you all at the Big Pig to the front line and those behind the scene to make this day a memorable one.


Cheryl G., Danvers



7/20/19

Great experience with Big Pig BBQ.  60th  birthday party for 40 people in extremely hot weather.  The food was awesome. Mark delivered and set up, he was gracious and had an eye for detail.  Thank you Big Pig BBQ.


Katie T., Danvers



7/14/19

Hi! Just wanted to send a quick note to tell you how fantastic everything was at my daughter’s graduation party last Sunday!  The food was absolutely delicious and the set up and customer service was top notch. We are still receiving comments and praise about the food, presentation etc. we’ve recommended your services to numerous people & will for sure contact you for our next event. 

Thanks again for making our party exactly what we wanted!

This was by far the best bbq catered event we have done , your staff did an amazing job all day. The food was fantastic . I will drop the check off today or tomorrow. Also can I purchase  a tray of Mac n cheese when I come in? 

David B, Methuen



7/4/19

Thank you so much for an amazing event. I can't say enough good things about your staff, the food, and the overall experience. I am still having people call, email, and text me about how great the food was, and what an awesome idea it was. I gave several of your business cards out to people at the party, and had a couple of people reach out to me for your information as well. I certainly hope you generate more business as a result! We will be coming back to you for future events. 


thank you again!!! you guys ROCK!!!


All the best, 

Lauren L, Pat L and baby Patrick!, West Roxbury



6/23/19

We hired Big Pig for a birthday party of about 70 people. Tim and Liam showed up on time with everything and were extremely professional! ALL of my guests were obsessed with the food and there was enough that everyone got 2-3 plates of food. We didn’t run out of anything! I now just need an excuse to have another BBQ!! Thank you Big Pig!!


Julie K, Raynham



6/23/19

These guys are great. Everyone raved about the BBQ. A no-brainer hiring the Big Pig crew. Very accommodating. Post event, no clean up from customer perspective, like they were never there.


Peter C, Lynnfield



6/22/19

Fantastic service and great food! I was really happy with their service - they were really polite and professional! The food was great and not a single complaint from any of our guests.


Evangelia H,  Lynnfield



6/22/19

We used Big Pig BBQ this weekend for a family event we had at our company (300+ people). They were amazing! The presentation was great, the staff was very friendly and professional. The food was more than amazing! They even cleaned up after the event. Would definitely recommend. 


Kayla P, Bedford



6/22/19

Used them for my son's graduation party... The food and presentation was FANTASTIC... Everyone raved about the food it was great. The Chicken was juicy, the steak tips also were juicy with a great sauce. The Pulled book was very tender and tasty. Even the Hamburgers and Hot Dogs were the best I ever had. I highly recommend them to host your future BBQ with or without the Pig Roast. FOOD and Service were 2nd to none.


Mario P, Norwood



6/17/19

I genuinely dont think I could have liked them more than I did. IDK the prices but Ive now had them at two weddings and their food is amazing. Large portions, awesome taste, great quality and friendly staff. Their steak tips are my favorite ever and their grilled chicken/pulled pork are definitely up there as well. I wish I knew where to get the BBQ sauce they used because it would become a staple in my house!

Jamie M, ???



6/16/19

Chris,

I would like to thank you and the young men Jack and Jared for a tremendous job.

My quests all raved about the food and Jack and Jared were timely, efficient and enthusiastic about their work.

Two very nice young men and wonderful representatives of the Big Pig.

I have two other friends that have used the Big Pig and they felt the same about the food and service.

Thank you again and I will hesitate to have you again  or recommend you to all my friends.

Linda R, Wilmington



6/15/19

I would not hesitate to recommend Big Pig BBQ to anyone and would use them again for sure. Excellent food for good value for money. We were organizing a celebration with about 20 guests. We did not require staffing, just some yummy bbq that would stay warm. I had researched other BBQ catering companies but their menus were complicated or they were unwilling to accommodate such a small event. Big Pig's catering menus were easy to navigate and I ended up calling and spoke with Chris, who, as other reviewers have said, made the experience completely stress-free: we ordered 18 BBQ picnics plus an a la carte brisket. I was able to be flexible about the sides/salads and there was plenty of food with some left over. Our guests all loved the food and although the extra brisket seemed high at $90 I have zero regrets pushing our budget - I am still thinking about it now! Tip: I normally roll my eyes at promo videos but I watched the video on their excellent website after having ordered and it set my mind at ease that my decision was A-OK. Thank you Big Pig for helping make our celebration a great success. 

Besty S,

Hello Chris & Jon!


I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to both of you and your staff for a very successful cookout this past Sunday.  


Liam and Ashley were AMAZING!!!  They were professional, easy to work with, and the best part is that I did not have to do anything!  The fact that I did not have to even shop for the paper goods made me even happier!  Ashley even helped with some of my decorating!  I can't say enough wonderful things about both of them!


My husband said "why would we have a cookout at our house any other way from now on?".  Our guests loved the food...it was delicious and cooked perfectly.  We even had enough leftover so I didn't have to cook on Monday :)


I will definitely keep you in mind for our next event and will for sure recommend you to our friends and family.  Thank you for helping make my daughter's wedding weekend a complete success!!  


Helen F, Winchester

Everything was delicious , and everyone enjoyed it all! Thank you for your awesome cooks. Everything was done efficiently too!

Joanne H, Atkinson NH



6/9/19

Just wanted to let you know how truly awesome you guys are! We ended up with close to 65 people and everyone was raving. And there was plenty of food!  I can’t tell you how many times our guests commented that it’s the best BBQ they’ve had in the area. That was certainly our experience when we attended the CCM event  And the whole set-up was unbelievable. Thanks for your help & I’m sure we’ll be ordering again.

Karen T, Concord



6/8/19

Big Pig BBQ did an excellent catering job for our Baby Q. All of the food was delicious! Our 70 guests raved about the steak tips and burgers. The pig was cooked perfectly including the crispy skin. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them!

Mary Ann B, Methuen



6/8/19

I can not say enough about my experience with Big Pig Barbecue. From the very first moment to the end they were terrific. Very professional, Pleasant, and fun. My guests enjoyed the delicious food. I would highly recommend Big Pig Barbecue.

I cannot express how amazing the Big Pug BBQ and catering was! Presentation, food, professionalism...5 stars and then some! Highly recommended and we will be using their services again!

Robin K, Danvers

6/7/19

We had the big pig cater my son's graduation party this past weekend.. it was nothing less than AMAZING!!! There were roughly 75 people ..and everyone raved about the food! They were on time, cleaned up after themselves, and were so friendly! The presentation of the food was awesome!! We will definitely be using them again!!

Julie S, Wilmington



6/3/19

The boys at Big Pig BBQ are the best!! Everything we talked about them providing and doing...they did it! We had a 70+ person event a large construction project, so gathering everyone together at once was like herding cats, but the Big Pig BBQ was awesome as they adjusted on the fly to the ever changing flow of workers making their way to the tables. Then at the end, they went above and beyond with the clean up effort! They went above and beyond and we will absolutely be using them again!!

Tony C, Milford

6/2/19

Chris,


Thank you very much for the all the food for our son’s graduation!  It was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it!  I made sure to keep reminding people the name of your company 🤣. We had plenty of leftovers too!  I will definitely use your company again in the future.  


Happy Summer!


Maria G, Topsfield

Hello Chris and Jon,

Hope you are both well. The craziness of the wedding is finally coming down and I have a chance to write this email. I wanted to thank you and the staff for making our day a massive success. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating that it took all the pressure and worry away. Truthfully, the only time I remember seeing/noticing the staff was when they asked where they can set up and when they were ready to leave. I felt that the food magically appeared (soo delicious) right when we were ready to eat.....even through the ceremony, pictures, speeches, etc....ran a bit late. I feel that you guys were a big part of the reason why we received so many compliments.

Ali and I thank you so much.

Mihai and Ali, Chelsmford

5/27/19

These guys provided amazing food AND service during our cookout earlier this month for a birthday party at our house. If you’re ever in need of a caterer who goes above and beyond to meet your event needs (large or small), please look into these guys. I’ve used them for personal and corporate events... they don’t disappoint!

Britni S, Wilmington

5/27/19

Hi Chris, I just wanted to let you know that everything was fabulous! My guests are still commenting on how good the food was. Thanks so much and I would certainly come back and recommend your company.

Denise M, North Reading

5/25/19

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to thank you and Big Pig as a whole.  Our grad party was a huge hit and everyone was raving about the food. Sean and Mark were excellent - respectful, professional, and efficient.

I’m sure you guys cater some large events, and our party may have been small in comparison, but it was obviously very important to us, and you guys made us feel that it was important to you as well.

Thanks again

Ed and Nancy, Lynnfield

5/19/19

We had them cater a college graduation party in our backyard and we couldn't be more pleased! The pig roast was a great success and everything was delicious. Our servers/cooks Alex, Ben and Patrick were courteous, attentive and efficient every step of the way. They did a fabulous job and it was so nice to be able to mingle with our guests instead of being tied down with cooking and serving. They even packed up all the leftovers and did a great job cleaning up. I would highly recommend these guys for your next gathering or event. Everything was perfect. It seemed pricey at first but it was money well spent. You guys were awesome!

Jess T, Boston

5/13/19

I picked this caterer just from reading other reviews and I was not disappointed From initial quote to clean up after our event, it was so easy working with the Big Pig BBQ crew. They were friendly and the food was great. We had a work outing for 100 people and not one complaint, everyone was full and happy. We will be using this team again!

Kathy M, Billerica

5/2/19

We had them come out for our school function and they did an awesome job. We had Antonio as our Pit Master, he was super helpful and friendly with all of our students. Most importantly the food was amazing and we're definitely having them come back for more of our events. I highly recommended them to anyone. Easy to get a hold of and were very flexible with schedule.

Mike S, Lexington

4/30/19

I worked with Big Pig on a large event for our school. Working with Chris was a total delight. His follow-through was superb, his 'can-do' attitude, no matter what we threw at him, was cheerful and he was a delight to work with.  Almost as soon as I sent them an email, he followed through almost before I pressed 'Send'.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. His staff were incredibly friendly and a joy to have around.  Chris's attention to detail was delightful and he went beyond the call of duty on everything.

I would recommend them without a single reservation.  I have worked with a lot of caterers before with many events - and my experience with Big Pig was simply perfect in every regard.

Robin W, Lexington 

4/30/19

Big Pig catered our large scale (150 people) fundraising event and they were amazing. The food was fantastic and their servers were helpful, pleasant, and courteous. They carefully labeled all the food (with signs indicating vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free, so guests knew what was what) and even prepared "to go" containers with all the leftovers. We could not be happier!

Abigail, Arlington

4/28/19

Hi, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how fantastic the food was yesterday. Everyone raved about it, and they took all the business cards. The man who delivered and set up the food was excellent, more than a few of my guests mentioned it.

John G, Reading

4/27/19

WOW!

Big pig, you outdid yourselves!  In a pinch, we needed a caterer only a few weeks before our little guy's first birthday party, which was Red Sox themed. Big Pig came through for us with some delicious food, great service, and the friendliest staff I've ever worked with! You guys are phenomenal, and when they recommend the steak tips, don't pass them up, they're right AMAZING!!! Everyone ranted and raved how good the food was, we'll be booking with them again!

Hannah C, Stoneham

4/26/19

I highly recommend Big Pig.  I hired Big Pig to cater my daughter's birthday party.  We had about 50 adults and 50 kids so I didn't want to be concerned with cooking or with the food at all really.  Big Pig was great from first contact, working with me to customize the menu to my budget and on site the day of. They took care of absolutely everything for the food down to the condiments, buffet tables and paper/plasticware.  It was a full turnkey operation and the guys onsite were friendly and helpful to me and my guests. They even packaged up to-go boxes with mini-meals to make it easier for people to take home leftovers. I'm so impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail.  I would recommend them for any event whether casual or formal. Our guests were RAVING about the delicious BBQ food as well - really high quality. I will definitely be using them again. 5 stars all around!!

I recently hired Chris and his team to cater a meal for 300 people over 10 different lunch shifts.  Being 3,000 miles away, I had to 100% rely on Chris to execute flawlessly. And, I couldn't be happier with the way the event turned out!  Even working with the highest of expectations, the event went off without even the slightest issue.  I can not recommend Big Pig enough for your next event. You will not regret the decision! Chris is a great communicator, organized and meticulous!

Thank you guys for a great event!!

Just want to say the BBQ you did for our company was excellent. I tried everything and it was all great. I particularly loved the mac and cheese, pulled pork and steak tips. The meat was super tender, seasoned well and wonderfully delicious. We will definitely be doing this again next year, thanks again!

We have used Big Pig BBQ a couple times for events at work. Each time we have worked with Big Pig everything has been fantastic. I recommend them whole-heartedly. The staff are always friendly, thinking ahead, prepared, and amazing cooks. The food is always delicious, perfectly prepared and cooked, and our event participants always enjoyed what was served. Highly, highly recommend Big Pig BBQ.

Big Pig Barbecue catered our wedding last weekend. Can't express enough how pleased my wife and I were. From the very start they were professional and easy to deal with. They delivered exactly what they promised, and more. The guests told us that they had never been served so much food at a wedding before. Thank you Big Pig!

Big Pig Barbecue was awesome. We used them for a back yard graduation party. The pig roast was a big hit with our guests. There was plenty of delicious food and the service was fantastic. If you want to host a fabulous party with very little effort on your end, hire Big Pig BBQ. They take care of everything so all you have to do is have fun with your guests. The BBQ Chicken (on the bone) was fabulous.

Matt D, Wilmington

Hi Chris!

The 2 guys you sent were awesome! They did an amazing job with the food and were so professional and accommodating. They were sweet to the kids who were interested in what was going on and really fit in well with all the guests. Everyone loved the food and were impressed with the overall set up.

Thank you for working around our date change and being willing to work on our budget. We recommend the Big Pig to everyone!

Andrea M, Methuen

9/13/19

Hi Chris,

The party was a tremendous success! Dinner, in particular, was a big hit with everyone - I had several guests asking about the catering and raving about the food. Things were definitely down to the wire with set up (it was crazy) and I appreciated the help, suggestions, and general calmness of the gentlemen who were on-site.

I will be sure to refer Big Pig in the future and I cannot wait to hear more about the restaurant!

Alison S, Boxford

9/13/18

We held an event for our residents and used these guys and it was one of the best events we have ever had! The food was amazing and there was enough for everyone. The staff was awesome and very helpful with set-up and clean-up. They were also able to work with our budget and offered us a few different options that really stood out compared to the other caterers we were considering. We would highly recommend using them for your next event!

Jessica S, Burlington

This was our first Pig Roast and not our last. We had 60-65 people at our party and everyone said that this Pig Roast was awesome. Everyone there wants to do another one down the road. I'm all in. We do plan on doing another next year. We had Alex and Jake as our grill masters and they did an incredible job. When we do our next Pig Roast I hope both these guys are still around, we want them back. They were great. If you have never had a Pig Roast and your thinking about it, go with this company. They were on time, great grill masters, and worth every penny. Book early because they book up fast. You guys were awesome, see you next year.

Mike B, Peabody

We used Big Pig because of the reviews on yelp.  Every star is well earned. The food was wonderful and the service was exemplary.  If you want excellent barbeque, use them. Make sure to order the ribs. We even used them for appetizers and they were wonderful too.  Also, as a novice party planner I relied on their advice for quantity of appetizers and wait staff. They could have charged me much more, but went out of their way to save me extra expense.  We couldn't have been more pleased.

Amy C, Andover 

9/1/18

Thank you again for making our wedding so wonderful!  There was a lot of praise going around for the food, and I know the guests will be talking about it for years.

8/15/17

I just wanted to drop you a line about today’s event.  It couldn’t have gone more perfect. Tim and the crew were 100% on their game.   My co-workers raved about the food and I can’t say enough good things about the guys. They were polite, very helpful and very responsive.  My company will definitely not hesitate to call on you guys again, if this BBQ becomes a yearly event.

So just wanted to say Thank You again!  You made my job look easy

Donna M, Chelmsford

8/12/18

Thank you so much -  our event was a success largely because of Big Pig -- the food was delicious -- arrived right on time and the person who delivered and set up was wonderful!!  We will be spreading the word about you -- we are excited to visit your store/restaurant.  Thanks again 

Patti S, Waltham

8/3/18

Amazing all around. I called on rather short notice to arrange a pig roast for our family gathering. I worked with Shane during the planning stages and Joe and Billy arrived on Sunday for the event.  I could not have had a better experience. My family was very impressed by the quality of the food and the customer service provided by Joe and Billy. We will be calling again! If you want to do something special for your family and/or friends or any event, give them a call. You will not be disappointed.

Candace S, Tewksbury

8/3/18

Big Pig Barbecue & Catering was absolutely amazing! From our first contact, they were extremely helpful. Shane helped me with the menu options and his suggestions were perfect. The guys arrived on time and were so nice and helpful. Not only did they set up the buffet tables, but helped us set up our dinner tables. They helped us carry ice, drinks, chairs, and set it all up. Then they cleaned up and set up all the leftover food. If I had to do it over I wouldn't change anything. The whole experience was fantastic! Thank you Big Pig!

May O, Beverly

Big Pig catered our office BBQ and I could not have been happier. The food was amazing and the professionalism of the staff was top notch.

Chris,

The food and set up was simply awesome.  We had enough for everyone to bring home a big doggy bag. All the guests were raving about the ribs especially. Mark was proudly wearing his Big Pig ballcap, so hopefully you guys will get some referrals!   We will definitely use you again!!!

Christine B, Boxford

7/27/18

I wanted to thank you and the crew for an amazing event!  Everything from the food to the staff could not have been better.  Even the weather started to behave once it was time for everyone to arrive. Everyone was so pleased that they asked if we could do it again in the future, which I am sure we will. Please thank the 2 staff members for being so great and helpful.

Please share with your team what an absolute pleasure it was working with them last Thursday night at the Dock Party. I heard from so many people how amazing the food was!

The food was amazing…all of it!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We got alot of feedback from employees and everyone was impressed.  We made the right choice when we called Big Pig BBQ! You will definitely be hearing from us again!

Thanks for everything!

I hired Big Pig to cater a graduation party and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The food was tasty, cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. We ordered the burgers, chicken, tips and pulled pork with mac and cheese, salad and corn on the cob. The staff was so friendly and helpful and they took care of everything so that I could actually enjoy the party! I highly recommend them. Everyone leaving said great party... GREAT food!

Big Pig BBQ catered our son's college graduation party this past weekend. They were easy to work with from start to finish. The food was excellent and all of our guests could not stop raving about how good everything was. We had endless amounts of pig, steak tips, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs. For sides, the mac and cheese was a great hit, the corn was perfect and the coleslaw was one of the best I ever had. The two gentlemen that set up, cooked and served were friendly and helpful. They took care of everything from set up to clean up. We would definitely use them for future events and recommend them highly!

Denise C, Saugus

We had a company summer outing on a patio near to the office, and these guys were great the whole way- from lining up the menu to cooking up tasty grub on the day of our event. They were super nice, approachable with questions, and the food got high marks from everyone. We had burgers & dogs with some veggie burgers, and lots of sides which made everyone happy- the vegetarians had plenty to eat, and enjoyed it very much. I especially appreciated the onsite staff & the positive energy they had the whole time out there in the sun- great work ethics, hands-on service- no complaints whatsoever. BIG THANK YOU!

Rachel C, Cambridge

6/27/18

Our company has used Big Pig for the last 3 years for our employee appreciation cookout.  Their food is awesome. They cook right on site and the employees who come are so friendly and helpful. Their barbecue sauce was so good. They even provided takeout boxes so our employees could take home the leftovers.  Not that there was too much leftover, especially the steak tips and chicken!

Best ever!

Jane S, Salem

6/22/18

Great company, great food, great service. We held a Pig roast / BBQ for 175 people and these guys couldn't have done a better job. Event was at 6:00 and they showed up at 3:30 to start setting up. Two pigs, 80# and 60# were the perfect size. Steak tips were delish, chicken perfectly cooked, burgers and dogs tasted great, and they brought more sides than we ordered (cole slaw, baked beans, corn bread, they added Potato salad & watermelon). Service was great: nothing on the buffet was ever empty before they were restocking. 175 satisfied customers. Can't recommend highly enough.

John C, Danvers

6/26/18

We used Big Pig on two occasions, first on a smaller scale for one of our teams here at our corporate office. We were so impressed and encouraged by our experience we hired them to cater our executive conference we hold annually. The food and presentation was excellent, we received nothing but positive feedback from our attendees. They also were able to provide great alternatives and recommendations based on the dietary needs of our group. Not only did Big Pig provide full service from start to finish (setup to cleanup) but they were also professional and friendly. They were even kind enough to suggest vendors for other items we needed such tent rentals and a bartender service. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great BBQ option and would be happy to use them again in the future.

Shana D, Waltham

We have had the good fortune of using Big Pig Barbecue at two of our backyard parties in the past year. I cannot say enough great things about this company. Everyone that we talked to while asking questions and planning menus was friendly, and helpful and made the whole experience a pleasant one. The two guys that came out and prepared and served the food were polite, efficient, and somehow managed to almost go unnoticed. The compliments were very favorable on the taste and quality of the food, and the steak tips were the hit of both parties! I love to grill and serve at our barbecues and was not sure how I felt about turning over control to a company, but I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. My wife and I were able to relax and enjoy our home and our guests. We are celebrating my daughters wedding in our yard this summer with over 130 guests expected, and Big Pig Barbecue will once again be providing the food for us. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for all of your upcoming events!

Janet F, North Reading

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for the terrific service you provided on Saturday. Your crew was professional and helpful and the food was fabulous.  Our guests enjoyed every bite of what was on the menu. I am also appreciative of the level of communication and responsiveness we had starting with my first inquiry up through the day of the party. This is very important to me.  Thank you again for a great job.

I just want to tell you how wonderful you guys are! From my first phone call inquiring about a pig roast to the day of our event you were INCREDIBLE! Everyone was professional, helpful, and kind and the food was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! My husband and I have had people call us all weekend to tell us how much they loved it! I've given your card to a few of the guests in attendance and I believe my nephew now wants a pig roast for his graduation! Thank you again and we look forward to use you again in our future!

You guys were great.  The food and service were awesome!   I am not a huge chicken on the bone fan but wow.  Amazing! Burgers awesome and all! Thanks for everything and we will happily spread the word! And you guys were also great in guiding our ordering and all and totally reasonably priced!!

"Big Pig" was a "Big Success" for my Book Launch Party! The children's book is about "cows" so we held the event at a farm. Big Pig arrived in plenty of time to set up, was enthusiastic, had an attention to detail, worked around our set up Moo Crew graciously, and the food and the service were superb! We received many wonderful compliments from our visitors and would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone! Big Pig was a wonderful catalyst towards making The Cows Go Moo! party a Moodacious success!

Jim P, Lincoln

5/19/18

Chris,

Thank you for Saturday night, you did a great job.  Honestly.. everything was great. Everyone was commenting on the food, asking where you came from. I handed out at least 9 cards to people.  I hope it leads to more work for you. The retail store is a terrific idea! I honestly think you'll crush it.  People were asking where they could buy your food. Chris and his team provided services for a 50th Birthday Party with 90 guests. They were professional, had great personalities, and more importantly provided excellent food. We had spot showers, but that didn't hinder their setup, execution and cleanup. Multiple people commented on the food, going back for seconds, and thirds..

Highly recommend Chris and his team

Craig B, Marblehead

I wanted to let you know that everyone absolutely loved the BBQ that we ordered for lunch today.  The delivery person Sean was great! He had a challenge with our small elevator and he took the time to set everything up perfectly.  The food was delicious and was the perfect temperature kept warm with the sterno’s. We definitely will be ordering again

Thanks again

BigPig Catering is the best!  They were so helpful and responsive when we were planning our event.  They helped us create the best menu that fit the needs of our crowd. The night of our event, they were on-time and efficient and super helpful in making sure everyone got fed in a timely manner.  And our guests raved about the food!! Everything was absolutely delicious!! You can't go wrong with these guys. Thank you, BigPig, for an awesome night!

Outstanding job at recent Country Western themed Bridal Shower. Food quality and preparation were excellent and fair price for quality, quantity and service. Staff did a great job with set up and clean up. Guests raved about the product, everyone took business cards and we're sure BP will get more catering work as a result. Excited for them to hear they will be opening a new facility soon on the North Shore! Great job Big Pig!

Hi Chris,

I gave you that big hug on Saturday night, because you were one of the big reasons why we had such a successful night.  The food was fantastic!! I so wish that I had eaten more. Everyone was commenting on how great the food was along with the service.  We've had issues with the food in the past and you and your team were perfect.

I hope that we can work together again in the future.

Thank you thank you thank you! From start to finish the service was on point. Timely arrival, timely set up/service/clean up. It was so helpful for myself as a host to not have to worry about setting up and cleaning up food for my guests. Not only did they take care of all of that, but they also set up our left overs in one area along with "to go" boxes for our guests!

Very professional service from inquiry to event. We are looking for another reason to have a pig roast! This definitely won't be our last!

Meaghan A, Holliston

9/12/17

I just wanted to let you know that everyone at our event on Tuesday night absolutely raved about your BBQ; even our guests from Texas gave it a “thumbs up”. The person who delivered and set up the dishes was very professional, calm and stealth. 

We’ll definitely keep you in mind for our next BBQ outing.  Thank you so much!

Cheers,

My wife and I hired Big Pig to cater an event at our home for about 70 people. From the booking process up until the day of the event they remained in contact with us to ensure our event and menu was done to our satisfaction. The staff the day of the event was absolutely amazing. They were friendly and polite. They helped serve our appetizers and even helped clean up! All the food was delicious. Everyone was very happy with the quality of the food. People went up for multiple servings and even took some home with them.  When it came time to leave they made sure to seek my wife and I out to say good bye.

Big Pig was well worth it and my wife and I would definitely use them again for another event.

Jack, Revere

9/10/17

Please let everyone know we were extremely happy with the food and service we received yesterday. The crew you sent was great, not only did they cook and serve all that food, they even helped us serve the appetizers. They were such a huge help. All of our guests loved the food and watching the pig cook. We will definitely recommend Big Pig to our friends and family and we would definitely book again.

Hello Chris,

I wanted to send a quick note to thank you, Shane, and your on site staff for the amazing food and service we received on Wednesday at our employee event. I have heard nothing but rave reviews about the food, with many asking where you guys are from. I think a lot of folks took cards! When your team arrived, it was a monsoon, but they were champs and forged through with all smiles.

I would definitely recommend Big Pig Barbecue to friends and colleagues. You did a great job.

Have a great weekend,

Rachel M, Woburn

I was nervous to have Big Pig Barbecue as I had never had their food.  I would give their food a 10 star rating everything was tremendous! The team that showed up were professional yet friendly and easy to talk with even offering to help me with anything that I needed done!  This was a baby shower with 60 or so people and everybody raved about the food, not one complaint. They are also more than generous with their buffet and everyone was very satisfied. I highly recommend Big Pig Barbecue!

Gail R, Wilmington

8/27/17

Big Pig is awesome!  Super professional group, they modified the menu for me without issue or hesitation, oh and did I mention...the food rocks.  We had hamburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork, ribs and chicken on the bone. I'm always hesitant of chicken on the bone, it was so tasty.  Our guests gobbled it up. I couldn't decide on the sides so I order almost everything. The potato salad and cole slaw were really fresh and yummy.  Grilled corn was perfectly cooked, roasted potatoes to die for, delicious baked beans, and super creamy mac and cheese. There was something for everyone and our chefs were great; personable, we had a lot of children at the party they were super helpful serving them, also they were very respectful of our home, they left everything the way they found it.  Big Pig is super duper and I will totally look forward to having them cater a party for me again next year. Well done!

Christin C, Burlington

8/24/17

The Big Pig Barbecue was amazing! The steak tips, chicken, and sausage were probably the best I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. The whole party raved about the food and now wants to use this company as well for their parties and events. They did a great job setting up and were extremely friendly and accommodating. Cannot recommend this company enough!

Josh M, Beverly 

8/22/17

Hi Chris, John and Shane,

Thank you very much for making our special day that much better.  Everyone, was raving about the food. More specifically “The food is amazing, I have never had anything nearly as good at a wedding before” The laid back but on point service was exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have been more happy. We will defiantly recommend you to our friends and family.

Thanks again,

Brian A, Reading

Dear Chris, Jon, Shane and the whole Big Pig team, We are still basking in the afterglow of Saturday but now at least have time to send you a huge THANK YOU!!

Working with Big Pig was a really great experience from start to finish. Big Pig was there, helping us plan not just an scrumptious meal but a really special event. You arrived early and were there to the last moment of the night. You were responsive, hard working, and good natured. And from the moment guests began eating, I started getting compliments.  Most delicious wedding I've ever attended. Best BBQ I've had. The cornbread!  The brisket! And so on :)

Thank you for truly being on our team and in our corner -- and making our wedding a delicious success!

Elissa and Quentin, Lincoln

The Big Pig catered my father's birthday party.  They were on time, courteous, well organized and best of all the food was great!  Everyone commented on how good the food was. It was so good that I hardly had to encourage the guests to take leftovers.  Big Pig gets two thumbs up - don't book another BBQ caterer until you talk to these guys!

Amy C, Boston

We had Big Pig cater our back yard wedding for 200 people and they did a phenomenal job! The pig was so delicious, everyone was raving about the food. Along with the pig we had steak tips, chicken, dogs and burgers, sides and salad. The big pig crew did an outstanding job, my family and I are in the service business and we were all very pleased. The buffet and pig carving station was set up perfectly. The grill crew kept the buffet filled with hot food throughout the day. They even helped us with some of the clean up! Very friendly, and personable crew. I am totally recommending Big Pig to cater your event, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Chris, Jon and crew!!

My Dad's 80th Birthday party on Sunday was an absolutely fantastic time and Big Pig Barbecue played a HUGE role in making the day so perfect!!  My Dad is a big BBQ food fan and he...along with all of the other guests...could not stop raving about all of the food. Everything was cooked to perfection. The steak tips and chicken were melt in your mouth delicious. The burgers and hot dogs tasted gourmet! All of the sides and salads were so, so good. There are not enough adjectives to describe how tasty ALL of the food was.

Your staff arrived an hour before the party and were all set up before the first guest arrived. They were pleasant and super friendly. They even offered their assistance with anything else that I needed done in preparation for the party. They grilled and prepared all of the food to perfection and were constantly keeping an eye on the buffet table to make sure nothing ever ran low. And it never did! Not only is your staff all about grilling tasty food, but they also exhibit great customer service which was much appreciated.

Thank you again for making my Dad's 80th Birthday party such a memorable event.

Hello,

I want to let you know how pleased I was with my order for my husband's 40th bday party. The food was outstanding and so many were raving about it. We even took the leftovers up camping with some family over weekend, re-heated on the grill and still tasted great!  You def will be referred by us and will be top on our list for future events.

From my first contact with Big Pig BBQ to the food, everything was perfect. They were able to cater my event and were very helpful in preparing the menu. All of the food was SO good! Everyone at the party was asking who made it! I have never had pulled pork before because it never really appealed to me. I am a believer now!! Their pulled pork was delicious! The quantity of food was very generous and no one left hungry. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone planning a party or needing catering for their next event!

I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. Fantastic service and food. Everyone at the party commented on the quality of the food. They were very accommodating. They even left 'to-go' boxes so I could distribute the left over food. Awesome job!

The folks at Big Pig were amazing. They guided me through all the best options for my party. The food was just so good. The pig was perfectly done, and the sides were amazing. Even the barbecue sauce was a step above the standard. Everyone was raving about food. They were a pleasure to work with, and I would go back to them for my next event in a heartbeat. Thanks, Big Pig!

I got married in July and hired Big Pig to cater my reception. There is no accurate way to truly explain how amazing the BBQ was for my wedding. Jon and his staff arrived right on time, and when they say they can accommodate to any set up, they certainly mean it. My wedding was at my In-laws home and we couldn't have anyone parking on the property, so they made sure to give themselves enough of a window to set up in time before the ceremony started. My family was running around trying to take care of odds and ends, and they stepped in and asked if there was any way they could help us. Everyone was so friendly and certainly looked like they love what they do. They also had extra people come out to help set up all the table settings, and they made sure everything looked perfect. By the time everyone got up to eat, the food was hot and ready and boy was it delicious! I've never had BBQ that good in my life. We got a whole pig, steak tips and a variety of other things. There wasn't a single thing I didn't like. We also had a mountain (seriously, a mountain) of leftovers which was gone by the next day because it was so darn scrumptious. It's been almost 9 months since my wedding and people are still talking about how awesome it was. Thank you so much to everyone at Big Pig for helping make my wedding the best possible experience it could have been. I'm so blown away by the above and beyond effort put in to everything. If I have any future events, I'll be sure to contact you and will most certainly recommend you to anyone and everyone.

We had our annual Summer Sizzler barbecue last week catered by Big Pig Barbecue. The food was fantastic, the service is second to none. Joe and Larry were very friendly, helpful, and were willing to help in any way. Big Pig is the best! I even heard a few people comment that it was the best barbecue they’ve ever had.

Big Pig catered our daughter's wedding recently and the food was the surprise big hit. People were crazy about the steak tips; the pulled pork, chicken, and mac and cheese were great too. It's not often chicken and beef are perfectly cooked and tender. The three young men who cooked and served even set up a croquet set for me after looking up the rules on their phones. Highly recommended!

We recently had Big Pig cater my daughter's graduation party.  Best decision ever! From start to finish they were amazing! Such a great staff (Joe and Pat and they had a third man with them but I never got his name).  They even offered to assist me in whatever I needed to set up my yard! Food was absolutely delicious. We got hamburgers, hot dogs, brisket, ribs, chicken, mac n cheese, potato salad and coleslaw - no one left hungry and everyone raved about the food.  It was such a stress free day because of them. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again and I completely recommend to anyone looking for a catered event. They are the BEST!!! Thank you

We just had a pig roast catered by Big Pig company. The owner was very accommodating in helping us set up the date and flexible with our time changes. Pat set up the Pig roast promptly and did a great job on the presentation of the pig. Meat was tender and juicy. Thank you for an amazing job, all my guests left happy and full.

We recently had Big Pig BBQ cater our wedding reception at an outdoor event on the ocean for 125 people and they did an incredible job.  They were very responsive throughout the process, showed up early on the day of the event, brought all their own supplies (including tables, a tent if needed, server-ware, etc.), served a delicious meal, and cleaned-up everything! The crew was so friendly and nice - I can't say enough good things about them. Highly, highly recommended.

Just had our 3rd biennial Pig Roast catered by Big Pig BBQ and as in the past they did a great job.  The food was excellent but it is their staff that has always been the standout, they are very friendly, personable, exceedingly helpful and accommodating.

We had THE BIG PIG for both our kids' grad parties.  They can't be beat. I would have them again and again.  Not one negative thing to say. Food is top notch; great, and plenty of it, (tips and cornbread awesome).  Customer service can't be beat, from the first contact to the very last minute. Polite, helpful, accommodating, and service with smile. Go for it!

We've used Big Pig three years in row for our annual pig roast and they seem to get better every year.  We had more than 100 people this year and team Big Pig team handled everything from appetizers all the way through the main course...an absolutely amazing PIG...with ease.  Fantastic food and the service was perfect!

With so many BBQ joints to order from......I went with Big Pig because of their reviews. These guys are the best. Not only is their food top-notch, their customer service is A++++. I have ordered twice from them in 2 weeks.  The food is simply delicious. Chris and John were so accommodating as I changed my order quite a few times. My guests couldn't believe how good the Brisket, Chicken, Pulled Pork and Steak Tips were.  We will be ordering from them again and again and again! Thank you Big Pig BBQ!

Adrienne C, Danvers

Big Pig just catered a summer BBQ, and they were amazing.  They were incredibly easy to work with, came on time, made amazing food (chicken, steak tips, good old burgers and dogs, Mac and cheese, and potatoes), and cleaned up quietly and thoroughly. The guys that came to the house were super nice, and even helped us with some beverage issues that had nothing to do with Big Pig. I would highly recommend them, and will definitely use them again.

Krissy W, Belmont

I found The Big Pig via Google, and it was my Lucky Day! The Big Pig was the easiest catered event I have had the pleasure of using. The food was simply delicious; we had beef tips, chicken, corn on the cob. Potatoes, salad and the Star of the Show THE PIG!! Its meat melted in your mouth, and the Skin was to die for. Perfectly cooked and expertly served by two of the most accommodating guys ever, Jack and Alex. These two experts are what made the event run smoothly and without a hitch. There is no doubt that I will use them again and ask for Jack and Alex! I can recommend The Big Pig without any reservations or hesitation. Next time you want a hassle-free and delicious catered event that was worth the very affordable price just call the Guys at The Big Pig!

Dr. Tim, Spencer MA

6/15/17

These guys were amazing! I had them for 75+ guests for my son's graduation. Every detail was attended to. They set up, cooked, put leftovers aside and cleaned up. I got so many compliments on the food and lots of requests for their business card. Chris and John were so easy to work with and had no problems making adjustments to the menu during the process.

Do not hesitate--get Big Pig!

Joann S, Belmont

6/15/17

My guests are still talking about how good the food was at our party last weekend, people went back for seconds and thirds! The chicken, steak tips and mac and cheese were all fabulous and the cornbread was out of this world. Chris and the team made ordering easy. We did a take out order for 30 people. I will definitely use them again.

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and the guys who were out here Saturday, (Gary, Jack and Timmy).  Thank you for being so patient with us and our changes and to the three guys who were here that day a huge thanks and appreciation from us.  They were so great with us and all of our guests and very helpful, patient and the food was hot all the time until they left because they would stop and start cooking again and again and of course the food was all delicious!  We appreciate you all making our daughter’s special day even more enjoyable as we did not have to worry about the cooking.

Take care and I am sure I will be talking to you in the future.

Emily R, Tewksbury

I just wanted to let you know that you guys did a great job yesterday for my daughter's graduation BBQ party.  Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and service. In fact, you may be receiving a few calls this week for inquiries about parties.  Thanks for making the process so easy, and for delivering perfectly on what was promised.

Gratefully,

I just wanted to thank you so so so much for yesterday!  The guys were absolutely amazing! Everything was exactly as I hoped. The service was top notch and the guests raved about the food - I wouldn't be surprised if you have some repeat customers from the party!

Thanks again!

 Meg S, Swampscott

6/11/17

Thank you for providing us with a wonderful whole roasted pig BBQ!  The group of about 60 people loved the food - got lots of great compliments, especially the roasted pig and sirloin tips! I know that some business cards were taken...hopefully, it results in more business for you because you deserve it!

Both Joe and Larry were wonderful as well - very accommodating, friendly and helpful.  

We would highly recommend Big Pig Barbecue if you are looking for something different for a backyard event.

Jennie L, Needham

6/10/17

Honestly, Big Pig was the best investment we made in my mom's Surprise 60th Bday Celebration!  Everything was super organized. The guys arrived exactly when I wanted them to and they had everything prepared and ready to go right when I wanted.  We had about 75 guests and never did anyone have to wait for anything. Food kept coming. Service was top notch and guests RAVED about the food. From the second they arrived they offered to help with anything else we needed for set-up - even if it wasn't related to the food.  They were amazing. Can't thank them enough for making the event such a huge success! I will 1000% use Big Pig for my next catered event!!!

Meghan M, North Andover

6/10/17

We couldn't have been more pleased with the food and service for our company pig roast!  Chris was super responsive throughout the process! The day of the event the whole team arrived a couple of hours ahead of time and were prepared, friendly and professional offering to help pitch in and help any way they could.  The food was prepared on time and ready for all 100 guests on time. It was all delicious! Thanks for everything! We will certainly keep you in mind for future events!

Thank you thank you thank you.  Everything was great yesterday. Guests couldn't say enough good things.  Pat and Connor were phenomenal. They were sociable, professional and wonderful grillmasters. I am somewhat of a control freak and usually do all my own cooking.  Not once did I worry about the food. The steak tips were the big hit/ the guys raved about them. I have a couple of friends throwing functions this summer and have already highly recommended you to them.  

It was a pleasure working with you.

I am from the MidWest and our family knows good BBQ! You will not go wrong with this company. Top notch! The team at Big Pig is personable and hands on and no messes left. All the way around I have hosted two graduation parties with them with over 80 people being served and compliments all around. Everyone enjoyed their dinner, came back for seconds and took their cards to use them for their events. Great job all!

Kelle S, Andover

5/16/17

We have had these guys twice a year the last couple years for work cookouts and I don't see us stopping that anytime soon.  The guys are awesome, the food is amazing. The whole process is seamless and they take care of everything. Chris has always been super responsive when booking everything. There has never been a surprise or setback. I can't say enough good things about them.  We usually have a party for 60-80 guys and the amount of food prepared has always been spot on, they bring all the plates and utensils, and they leave the place spotless. Definitely book them.

 Allie M, Quincy

We had a lot of anxiety about planning our event. You should know that the owners, Chris and Jon, are great guys to work with.  Their staff are professional, knowledgable and personable.  They were very attentive and handled everything for our party of approximately 100 people. 

The food...some of the best BBQ my wife or I have ever had and she's travelled to Texas and the Carolinas many times for work.  We had the pulled pork, grilled chicken, steak tips, beans, potatoes, cornbread and coleslaw. All we heard from our guests was how great the food was.  The amount of food was more than sufficient - you will definitely not run out of food.  Amazing!

Justin M, Lynnfield

Big Pig catered our wedding and we couldn't have been more impressed!

The number of compliments we got from those in attendance about the food was off the charts. Everyone who tried the brisket and steak tips raved about them being the best they had ever had.

The guys were onsite early (in less than ideal weather) accommodated every curve ball and request we made, helped clear tables, and delivered food that far exceed our fairly lofty expectations. 

Highly recommend!!

Paul L, Boston

Chris, Jonny and Crew,

Thank you all so much for catering our wedding! You have no idea how many people were talking about how amazing the food was. You guys worked so hard and did so much to make our day very special.

Big Pig was a huge success at our wedding a few weeks ago. Everyone said that the food was amazing and more than one of our guests said that they will be contacting Big Pig to cater their next event. Jon and Chris went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful to them. Their team was incredibly friendly and efficient. I wish that I could relive our wedding and actually make it back to the buffet for seconds!

Michelle R, Wenham

8/11/16

Big Pig BBQ was at my office building today and it was absolutely delicious. I had a combo place with the brisket and pulled pork and the were both really good. I was a little disappointed they had run out of the mac and cheese but the coleslaw was still really good. I would highly recommend them and hope they come back soon.

Maggie P, Boston

I hired Big Pig for a recent barbecue for my son's 40th birthday and they were absolutely phenomenal. Shane and Tim were the cooks and they were just great!!!! And it was one of the hottest days of the year, and standing over a grill on 98 degrees is no fun. All the guests loved the food and I would definitely hire them again to cater other occasions. Keep up the good work!!

You guys are as good as the reviews say. The food was absolutely fantastic - I’m still getting e-mails raving about the food from friends that were at the party. (The steak tips were the best I have ever had) The crew was excellent - on time, helpful and great to work with. 

Thanks to all of you in helping to make the party a fantastic success! I hope to hire you again in the future (maybe for a company party) and will sing your praises to anyone looking for a terrific BBQ catering company.

Hi all at Big Pig BBQ!

We had a great lunch at my customer’s site. The guys on site couldn’t have done it any better.  And the pig was amazing.  The catering exceeded my expectations, and most importantly, my customer was pleased.  

Thank you and I will refer to you friends, and use you the next event in the Boston area.  

John, Reading

Best catered BBQ ever!  We had a pretty large office party of 150 people where Chris & Jon provided top notch pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ ribs, and all the fixings.  Can't wait for next year's party!

J.C, Newbury

6/27/16

I used Big Pig Barbeque to host a lunch at my biggest account; the lunch was for appreciation of all of the business that this customer has given to my company over the past year.  We decided to cater it, as the company has 60 employees, which would have been too much work to do it ourselves.  The guys at Big Pig were great!  They showed up on time, had everything ready and they put on a nice presentation with the pig roast.  My customer was extremely happy, as were all of the company attendees.

I got many compliments on the food as well as the service.  I would use Big Pig again for a similar function, and recommend them for anyone looking for a unique barbeque experience.

Just a quick note of thanks to you all and to the team that took care of our event on Saturday.  Staff was great (Carl and Ryan). They were well prepared, courteous, helpful, they spoke with the guests, answering all questions, in a word Outstanding, they are great ambassadors for your Company.  The food was fantastic, everything hot, freshly prepared and well presented.  My daughter was thrilled when we said we were going to have a pig roast to celebrate her graduation and I think the Big Pig Barbecue exceeded both her and my wife and I’s expectations.  

You guys know what customer service is all about from the initial inquiries with responses and answers very timely, to answering all follow-up questions and keeping our minds at ease. You all helped us have a great time on Saturday and it is much appreciated and I know we will be repeat customers in the future.  Thanks again

Hello, your company just catered a BBQ luncheon for my company in Topsfield yesterday. Just wanted to thank your team for their hard work and delicious food-many co workers went for seconds and thirds and talked about how good the food was. I personally enjoyed the chicken and the steak tips were incredibly tender and delicious-any possibility of me getting the recipe for your steak tip marinade?? Thnx an have a great day,

Big Pig Barbecue was absolutely phenomenal in helping me host my Memorial Day Weekend BBQ! I'm used to doing the grilling myself but over the years my party has grown in size to the point where I could no longer handle the volume of food that needed to be prepared. This is where Big Pig came in to help.

They arrived an hour early to set up, brought everything they needed with them, grilled for 3-4 hours straight and then cleaned and packed up. This was by far my best BBQ experience ever because I didn't have to occupy myself with the cooking or the logistics of the food setup. I will definitely not hesitate to use them again in the future and would recommend everyone to do so as well!

Kevin L, Lynnfield

5/21/16

I can't say thank you enough!  Everything was fantastic and everyone raved about all the wonderful food.   What a perfect meal for a wedding!    

I've forwarded your email to my sister.  You will definitely hear from her in the next day or two. My other son is getting married in 2017.  Don't be surprised if you hear from me again.

Thank you!

I just wanted to send a quick note to say THANK YOU to everyone at Big Pig BBQ. The food was a HUGE hit at the party this past Saturday; people are still texting me about it and asking for your company's information.

And all staff members who attended were great -- Chris, Matt (our grill master), Alex and Jacob. They were so courteous, and handled set-up and clean-up extremely efficiently.

Thanks again for all your help making this go off without a hitch!

Best,

Chris, The team did a great job and I have received dozens of compliments on the food. Those steak tips were amazing. I also appreciated the team helping out with the table cloths. You guys really out did yourself! If you ever need a reference, I would be happy to provide. We are planning an Oktoberfest party and Big Pig will be the first call we make.

Sincerely,

Mike

PS Thanks again for helping finalize the menu, headcount, and putting me at ease

We had a great experience with Big Pig BBQ. Jack and Kevin were on time and very helpful with setting up all the tables and food. The pig itself was delicious, as were the steak tips and chicken. The clean up was efficient and the overall service excellent. I would highly recommend this group for your next pig roast.

Big Pig catered our wedding and it was absolutely perfect! I researched around with 4-5 different companies that had similar options and I initially chose to go with them for the fact that they were very competitively priced, they were very friendly and patient when I called to ask questions (can't say this about all of the companies I called) and I found their website the most visually appealing....it showed they put a lot of effort into putting forth a good presentation.
After I gave them my deposit, I of course had questions here and there and they were always prompt in getting back to me. They showed up to begin setting up at the time they promised and did so seamlessly. We got married in our backyard and I was getting ready inside. They were so easy to work with I didn't even know they were there until I saw their van a few hours after they arrived.
I cannot say enough about the food......it's AMAZING! Whenever someone talks about my wedding, they just rave about the food!

Big Pig Barbecue was the perfect choice for our wedding!!! All of the guests raved about the food and the pig presentation was absolutely beautiful as was all the food. They were able to accommodate two vegetarian guests as well by grilling up some veggie burgers which I thought was an amazing touch! They are extremely responsive via email or phone and worked with me to customize a menu and other add-ons. I highly recommend them for any wedding or event!!

This was our first attempt at a Pig Roast and a do it yourself one at that. Your instructions, both personal and video were extremely knowledgeable and easy to follow. Everything went off without a hitch, the pig came out fabulous and silenced all the naysayers. All the additional food was delicious and the whole experience got rave reviews from our members. We are already planning a repeat for next year! Thank you for making our first Pig Roast and Barbecue a complete success!.

THANKS SO MUCH for everything!  For the first time, I think EVERYONE here was happy – not one bad thing about the food and in fact many more accolades than we normally have for our BBQ’s – all thanks to you!

Big Pig came and did a great BBQ for 50 employees here in our office parking lot.  Chris was easy to work with on all the advance arrangements.  The guys who came to set up and cook for us were wonderful!  They arrived in plenty of time to set up, cook and prepare an attractive buffet.  They brought everything they needed along with them (and took it all away afterwards, even all the trash).  They even took a little time to help me set up our tables and chairs.  They were both really nice and everyone enjoy chatting with them about the food and their work.  The food was delicious and there were compliments on absolutely everything on the menu.  The ribs were especially yummy and several self-described BBQ “experts” said the ribs were as good as any they had ever eaten!  Everyone here is looking forward to doing this again next summer!

Chris,
I just had to write you a quick letter to tell you how AMAZING the food, catering, staff, and service was for our backyard wedding reception on Saturday.  Your staff were so kind and accommodating...they literally felt like family and made sure everyone was taken care of.  The guys even saved treats for our dogs!  It was great!
The food was out of this world and your guys packaged all the leftovers nicely for my husband and I to enjoy.  It really tasted like Jamaica...spices were right on and the jerk pork was my favorite!  Compliments to the chef--everyone is still raving about the food.
I can't thank you enough for being so flexible and meeting our island style needs.  We will be sure to refer you to others!  Thank you so much!

Chris/Jon,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how happy everyone was with the BBQ.  I had rave reviews from my co-workers. Jarett and Ashley (I hope I got her name right) were great to work with.  They arrived at the designated time, offered assistance with setting up my tables and cooked & served a fabulous BBQ.  Everything on the buffet was delicious, fresh and plentiful.  From set up to clean up they were more than accommodating, friendly and willing to help out in any way needed.  Please feel free to use me as a reference for any potential clients.  I hope we are able to book another company bbq in the near future.
Best Regards,

Hi Chris,
Everyone raved about the food. I really appreciate how you guys were able to adapt to the last minute changes with the “shifts”. You were fabulous to work with, organized and professional. We look forward to seeing you again. Thanks again for making our event successful and being flexible with all the changes we had to deal with.
I would recommend you to anyone! You guys are awesome! Sorry I could not spend more time and chat, the hostess is always busy running around that day. I even forgot to get me some BBQ sauce for my food that day! LOL

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that everyone here had a great time.  The food was delicious and many people thought the ribs were the best they’d ever had!  People loved the pulled pork too and quite a few folks commented on the delicious salad dressing!  Jarett and Connor were really charming and helpful.  Not only did they do a great job cooking and setting up an attractive buffet, they also helped me set up the tables and chairs.  They left us with a few leftovers and tidied up and left everything in perfect order.
I hope this will become an annual event and I’ll be taking with you again next summer, if not before.
Thanks for all your help.  Please thank Jarett and Connor again for me!

Chris,
Thank you, Jarett, and the crew for delivering a spectacular spread for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the Pig Roast BBQ, especially the steak tips and Mac n cheese!   The crew was professional and so attentive in making sure everyone had what they needed.  Jarrett made sure everyone was well taken care of.  It was evident they truly enjoy what they do.  Thank you again for being a part of our wedding day!  
Kindly,

Well, all I can say is “WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW”!  That was delicious.  We were able to cut the pieces up enough to go around to those who are in the office today and offer a sample.  They loved it as well.  I have to say, I’m not surprised.

The pig was DELICIOUS. We followed your instructions to the 'T'. The meat was cooked to perfection. Not overdone. Moist and tasty. We did not need barbecue sauce after cooking (even though it was offered). (The neighbors all called to find out what we were grilling!!!) The fact that everything was included (charcoals, lighter fluid, thermometers, etc.) made it so easy. we will definitely do this again next year. Thanks!!!

Thank you again.

Hi Chris and Jon,
Just wanted to say Thank You for a job well done last Friday!!  We received nothing but compliments from our staff on all of the food.  We’ve used different caterer’s for our summer event over the last few years, both local and Boston (Rib Restaurant, Clambake, Southern BBQ, don’t want to mention their names but all have very good rep’s) and it was unanimous from the feedback we received, that your BBQ buffet was the Fan Favorite by far.
The quality of the meat was incredible, as was the flavor of the marinated steak and chicken.  Also the process used for continuous cooking so the food is always “fresh and hot” and not sitting idle for a long time prior to serving definitely made a difference for everyone going back for seconds, and some for thirds….   There was plenty of food, nobody left hungry that’s for sure.
Ryan and Jim were both great.  They arrived early, were very polite and attentive to our staff.  I know there were a few requests for plain burgers, and well done meat, which they were happy to accommodate and served them up quickly to those who asked.  Your full service job made it very easy for those of us organizing, we didn’t have to do anything except enjoy the meal and relax and socialize with our co-workers.  I will be recommending Big Pig to all my friends.
 
Thanks again,
Donna

We wanted to thank you again for your part in making our wedding day PERFECT.  The food was absolutely delicious.  Every single guest commented on how exceptional
you and your team are.  I believe a lot of your business cards were taken, and I know of one friend who has already recommended Big Pig to three of his friends.
Mark and I are extremely grateful for everything, including cutting and serving our wedding cake.
 
Thanks again.

We hired Big Pig to do a Pig Roast for 70 or so of our closest friends, neighbors, and family. Additionally we asked them to manage tents and chairs. From getting things delivered to the house, to starting on time, their execution was flawless. Prior to the event, Chris had us over for a tasting of the food. We knew from that it was going to be just awesome. My wife is an amazing cook, so when people come to our home, their expectations are pretty high. These guys exceeded expectations of our guests. Our guests were very impressed with the Pig Roast.

Chris and his team were polite, friendly, engaging eager to serve and help out, while at the same time maintaining a very low profile. At the end of the meal service, they cleaned up, packaged up several 'care packages' for guests who might want some of the left overs. They were all taken by our guests. 

Chris and his team are hardworking, professional, and very service oriented. I give them my highest possible recommendation and would definitely have them in my home again.

You guys should be proud of yourselves! What an awesome job the guys did at the Pig Roast we had. The food was amazing! And the guys were so professional, friendly and helpful! It’s the first time we’ve hired a caterer for an outdoor party and we couldn’t be happier with the way the night went. All of our guests loved it! We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again! And we would happily recommend Big Pig to all of our friends and family.
Thank you again for a job well done!

Dear Chris and Everyone at Big Pig,
I don’t even know where to begin….. I will start by saying THANK YOU!!!! I can’t say enough about the food and service that we received from Chris, Dan, & Frank (I apologize if I am mistaken on the names).
You gentlemen did an amazing job at our daughter Georgiana’s graduation bbq. You were exceptional. So very helpful in setting up for the party & organizing everything. Now for the food….it was unbelievably the best hands down!
EVERYONE loved it, talked about it during the party, & later the phone calls that followed. The true test for me was that I didn’t know what my older relatives who are used to eating traditional Greek foods at all the family functions would say. Well, they too couldn’t stop talking about it. They RAVED about how delicious everything was. But most importantly is that Georgiana wanted a barbecue and you gave her an exceptional one.
I was so nervous because I never had your food before and I just went off of the reviews and your website. My husband Paul was also very impressed with your website. I took a chance and was so happy that I did.
I definitely will use you again and recommend you to anyone else that is looking for a great caterer. I was just a little sad that there weren’t more leftovers by the end of the night haha. There was a battle over the mac & cheese, corn, and chicken the next day!
Thank you again for everything. And our best to you & your entire staff for a successful summer!
Sincerely,

Valerie P, Brookline

My mom hired Big Pig to come in and cook for our lunchtime baby shower. These guys do it right... they are every bit professional, organized and knowledgeable, and they cook up some mean BBQ. Along with that they were really cool guys, interacted well with the guests, and managed the details and challenges of our particular situation and space with ease (which included befriending a dog that wasn't initially friendly back, but loved them in no time, especially when the smell of the BBQ filled the yard!). 

We got the "Southern Smoke" option (chicken, pulled pork and brisket) and it was all fantastic. The pork is great... not your average pulled pork where it's all the same texture. It falls apart easily but it has flavorful burned ends, big chunks of meat, and plenty of fatty, juicy bits. The brisket was also really good, full of flavor and carved up for each person individually as they came by. 

We were a party of just over 60, but they seem ready to handle a party of any size. I would highly recommend them, and who knows, maybe we'll have them back for our son's first birthday party!

Hi Chris,
 
Just wanted to let you know everything was great yesterday!! Our guests have not stopped raving about the food, especially the steak tips & burgers, but everything was great. Everything worked out perfectly, was organized, food was out on time and all of our guests and us included couldn't be happier. Even the one year old birthday girl shoveled some steak and burger and mac & cheese into her little mouth! I know some of my family members might be contacting you in the future for some family events and even corporate events.
 
Thanks again for being a part of our day. Have a great summer!

Just had them over to my house for my son's graduation party. Showed up on time, were polite and well mannered. Nice guys. Food was absolutely fantastic.

The pig was great and was presented whole and they carved it up for our guests and gave each person the piece they wanted. Corn bread was very good, baked beans were very good, chicken and steak tips were great. Even the coleslaw was good. 

They checked in with us on timing the food while the party was going on and asked if we wanted to wait, etc. Just very professional. They did a great job cleaning up. Paying was no hassle, nothing bad to say about them at all. 

Only time I ever left a full five stars without a single thing to whine about.....

Just a great experience all around. Hire them you won't be sorry.

We had a great experience with Big Pig at our farm wedding. They were friendly, super flexible on the menu to help with our guests' dietary restrictions and whims, and helped us figure out how to stay on budget. We had a little less than 100 guests.

On the day, the guys showed up and were self-sufficient with the meal prep (even helping my bartender out by boiling water for her on the grill), buffet setup, serving, and cleanup. We had a friend with a map layout of the farm help them land their truck, etc. 

Awesome company!

My wife and I had an outdoor backyard wedding. We had looked into about 3 other companies and their services.  We at first went with them because of a great website and a real feel of family not to mention the food looked excellent.
They were more than accommodating to our location needs and helping us figure out the best needs for our guests.
Upon arrival the team was self-sufficient and very friendly. They had food on time, invited my wife and me to the first parts and got everyone through line relatively quickly.  They went above and beyond by little bits of service, knowledge, and even offering to cut and serve our cake for us.  
The food itself was fantastic, the pig was great and the steak tips were amazing. I wasn't the biggest fan of the chicken but my wife as well as others really enjoyed it.  Everyone was raving about how nice and how delicious the food was. I hate going to weddings that serve bland pre-cooked meals, and we really wanted a southern pig BBQ. They fulfilled and surpassed expectations.
Summary:
Pre-wedding arrangements - willing to work with our needs and always friendly on the phone.
Food was great - highly recommend getting steak tips.
Service: unexpectedly great. Went above and beyond their requirements, and always friendly.
Overall: they deserve 6 stars out of 5 my entire family was blown away by the job they did.

They are amazing!!!!! Whenever someone talks about my wedding all they talk about is how amazing the food was! So many of our guests said it was not only the best BBQ they ever had but also the best wedding food they've ever had. In addition, they were professional and easy to work with. They answered questions whenever I had them and always got back to me promptly. 

A few weeks ago Chris stopped by to give us some fresh meats - just because they're awesome! We own a company as well and I let one of our delivery drivers take home the sirloin tips because it was his birthday. He came back the next morning and asked where they came from.....he had to have more! He told me he wants $100 of his pay weekly paid in sirloin tips : ) 

I really can't say enough and I could go on and on! In a nutshell, you won't be disappointed! Instead, you'll likely be overly satisfied!

Thanks again,

Really all around awesome job. They made my wedding reception so effortless, I didn't have to worry about the food at all, and everyone loved it. Still talking about it. 

Also they are super tech savvy. I loved getting quotes by email and that they would text with me about locations and details.  

They didn't mind that I changed the menu a few times, just sent over the new quote without any problem. 

And one of the best things, they pack up the food for leftovers and just hand it over in neat ziplocks! Awesome.

Ps- get the pig!!

Chris and Ryan,
Outstanding service and food at our wedding celebration this past Saturday.  Chris, you have been so easy to work with, planning and leading up to this event.  Your timely arrival, to set up and start preparing the food for our party of ~ 85 people, having the extra tent which you offered and set up as we adjusted to a bit of mother nature's rain showers, and the seamless integration into the celebration made for a stress-free occasion.  The food received great reviews and I know the steak tips were a huge success.  I know many folks took advantage of the plentiful supply of food and enjoyed themselves.  From cooking, to setting up the buffet, clearing tables, emptying trash and just making sure all was in order, was simply the best!  We never had to think about one thing.  We will definitely be in touch for future events and we know there were other guests grabbing your business cards  for upcoming graduations and sweet 16's.  You have a great team.  We wish you all the best!

We've used Big Pig BBQ for two of our past summer parties (2013 and 2014) and have been so happy with the result. Each year they've catered a BBQ for approximately 55 people at our home. For a very reasonable price, they bring everything your BBQ will need (from grill to paper products) and two employees to cook and serve the food. You can customize your own menu (we always put an emphasis on vegetarian options) and trust that the food will come out delicious and perfectly cooked! This year, Matt and Tim cooked for our guests and everything was perfect.  The company is always very communicative via email or phone and I've always had all my questions answered promptly. We can't wait to use them

Hi Chris,
Sorry Im just gettting to this now...very busy here!
We just wanted to tell you how wonderful we thought everything was Sunday for Charlie and Phillip's first birthday. Your food was outstanding! Everything was delicious. So many of our family and friends couldnt say enough about the food! Everyone thought you guys were polite and courteous and John and I were throughly impressed and psyched that we didn't have to cook, serve or cleanup! (Some guests even commented on how good looking the guys were!) Lol!
Anyway, thanks so much. We will definitely use you again, and I'm sure our family will too!
Please feel free to give our name if you should need a reference for potential customers or whatever!
People are still talking about your steak tips! My father in law who doesn't really like steak, couldn't say enough!
Thanks.

I had Big Pig cater my husband's 50th birthday party yesterday.   They were amazing!   I was so worried about the bad weather that was predicted.  They called me earlier in the day to assure me that they would be fine and even asked if I needed some extra tents to put up for the buffet.    The young gentlemen that showed up were so friendly and efficient.    There were no details forgotten.   They brought everything!    The food was amazing.   We got the ribs, pulled pork, chicken, mac and cheese, salad and corn on the cob.   Everyone who attended the party was thrilled with the food.   It was the best BBQ I ever had.   My guest ate everything they cooked.   There were hardly any leftovers!   They even brought my dogs inside on several occasions because they were hanging out too close to the grill.    I can't say enough about this Company.   If you are on the fence, like I was, with ordering from a more popular BBQ caterer, choose Big Pig.   They are awesome! Our daughter wants them back for her Graduation Party!

Had Big Pig cater my daughter's high school graduation party yesterday. Could not be more satisfied. The food was fantastic and there was more than enough for everyone and then some. Everyone raved about it - and trust me - in my family, someone ALWAYS complains about something. Not yesterday - which made the day even better for us all.

Also - it must be noted that the service was really terrific as well. Ryan and Billy were our pit masters and they were great guys who really cared about the event. They were professional, funny and thorough. They helped me lug ice, set up drink coolers, and did just about everything else without even being asked. 

I strongly recommend Big Pig to anyone and would use them again in a heartbeat.

The day of the event staff was great and the food was amazing. The pig roast was a big hit with all of the guests. Everyone was impressed with the food and presentation. Thanks to the crew at Big Pig BBQ for helping to make a really memorable birthday party for my better half.

Fantastic! They catered a graduation party I attended last weekend. The food was OUTSTANDING; ribs, fell off the bone and so yummy! The chicken was great too...and all the sides were delicious. Everyone at the bar-b-cue applauded the food and the guys working the event were so helpful, polite and just a great crew! They set up, cooked, set everything out, cleaned up so the host/hostess of the party could actually enjoy their own party. I totally and whole heartedly recommend this company-you will not be disappointed. The ribs may have even been the best I've ever had, anywhere - period. Did grilled corn on the cob, several salads-coleslaw was great. As others have said, food - outstanding; crew - outstanding - do yourself a favor, call this co. and have them cater your next bar-b-cue and you will thank me for the recommendation. I wish I could have seconds of everything, right now...the memories will linger a long time... Oh, they even cooked chicken without bar-b-cue sauce for 1 party go-er; and they were only to happy to accomodate. It was zero problem. Hire them - you'll be happy you did!

Hi Chris & Jon,
 We cannot rave enough about Big Pig Barbecue. Chris and Jon were a such pleasure to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. Not only was the food amazing but the service was impeccable. The Big Pig Roast was the best wedding food we've ever had and numerous guests from our wedding have told us the same thing. If you want the best BBQ and service at an affordable price, look no further than Big Pig. – Caitlin & John

When we were looking for caterers for our outdoor wedding many of them were the same. Big pig offered delicious food at an affordable price with great service. Our guests kept commenting on how delicious the food was (steak tips, chicken and grilled shrimp). They grill on site and go above and beyond to work with your budget. My only regret is not getting to eat more of the food they made.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the wonderful options and service you provided for our rehearsal dinner just over a week ago!  We loved the meats!  Only thing my husband said was it would have been nice to have some more delicious BBQ sauces to sample...   Anyway - we brought some leftovers home and have enjoyed them all week.  Thanks again for accommodating our preferences and making the evening an enjoyable feast.  We wish you well...

Dear Chris and Jon,
Just had to send a note and tell you how pleased we were with everything on Saturday. The food was excellent, and your grill masters were awesome…friendly, helpful and so efficient. I would definitely recommend you, and I think you will probably get some business from people who attended the party.
So thank you for helping to make my husband’s party a wonderful day. It was a job very well done.
Be happy, be well,

Chris I just want to let you know that the guys at my event worked their butts off, the downpour happened right when they were setting up and firing up the grill, it was still hot as hell after the rain and we had people coming at different times with a continual line up for food! That is passion for your craft!  Your best advertising comes from how they conducted themselves with our guests. I think almost every guest told us how awesome they and the food was, and that included my son's friends. Continued success!

Big Pig came to cater my husband's 50 th birthday party. We had over 100 people to serve on one of the hottest days in metrowest this summer! Jon and his crew did a fabulous job. They arrive early, set up, cooked, and cleaned up with no interruption to me and my guests. People raved about the food, especially the steak tips! Chris and Jon, the owners did a great job in communicating from beginning to end and all the details in between with emails and phone calls. Would highly recommend them as they are true professionals and will be in business a very long time!

Big Pig was the BIGGEST hit at our graduation party we held for our son this past weekend! They are experts in their craft and were so easy to deal with I couldn't have put my party in better hands.  I was impressed start to finish from my inquiry and poking around their website to talking with Chris and crew about what to serve and how much to order. They nailed every aspect from menu choices to quantity (although I really would have preferred to have some ribs left over! They were amazing!)  The crew that worked our party was so professional and nice and CLEAN! They respected our home and our guests and were so enjoyable and friendly.  Truly a wonderful experience and would recommend for any event, private or corporate.

I was determined to have a pig roast for my neighborhood graduation party and found Big Pig on the web.  Chris and Jon were so easy to work with and they did not flinch when the guest list doubled to 150+ two weeks before the party.  Everyone wanted to come and taste roast pig, and the food was even better than imagined.  Aside from the tender pork, the steak tips and chicken were especially tasty.  I ordered the side dishes sight-unseen and they truly were amazing.  We had corn bread, coleslaw, fruit salad and grilled vegetables.  Jon grilled up portobello mushrooms for the vegetarians, and hot dogs and burgers for the kids.  I am especially grateful for their sense of humor and aura of calm.  I highly recommend this company.

Hi Chris,
No doubt, the evening was a total success.  Everyone remarked at the quality and freshness of the food. I’m sorry that I never really got to say goodbye.
One of my coworkers is thinking of possibly doing a pig roast in the fall.  I’ll make sure she mentions Excel.
You guys are the best.  I look forward to seeing you at our 8th grade cookout, and can’t thank you enough for helping me show our staff how much we appreciate them.
My best to you for a happy and successful summer.
 
Thanks again,

Hey guys,
Thanks so much for doing such an amazing job with our BBQ this weekend. The food was awesome and the guys were just great in getting everything pulled together for the day. You Should have some decent referrals from our party - everyone was raving about the food. I think most had never been to a pig roast and they loved it!
Thanks again for doing such a great job.

Big Pig BBQ & Catering was AWESOME! I wanted to do a pig roast for my husband's 30th birthday in April 2013, and went to trusty old google for some reviews and recommendations for central MA. I came upon Big Pig BBQ and was VERY excited when I saw how great the reviews were and how competitive the prices were! We had a party for ~50 people in our backyard and Chris was great! He had everything organized and under control, and finished cooking the pig, presented it, and served it, then he cleaned up and gave us all the leftovers and was on his way! Everyone was asking for their information and raving about how delicious everything was. We also had gluten allergies and peanut allergies and Chris made sure everything he used was allergy-free! I definitely recommend them and will absolutely use them again! Thanks guys!

Great site!
We had our "second annual" Big Pig BBQ on June 30th and started planning our "third annual" at the same time! The best of the best is what they are: The best quality in food, service, presentation and personality!! Chris and his crew make an ordinary BBQ extraordinary with their attention to detail and their aim to please attitude. They arrive early and stay late and cook the most wonderful food that gets our guests asking for the recipes. We always get the roasted pig that they serve in a variety of ways and is a true crowd pleaser, the grilled steak tips, chicken, salads and the most delicious corn on the cob in the world top off the menu in spectacular style! We already can't wait for next summer's Big Pig BBQ and are looking forward a long friendship in the years to come! Thanks Chris and Jon!!! Awesome job as usual!!!

Big Pig came out to our wedding a month ago and everyone is STILL talking about how good the pig was. I still have dreams of eating that delicious little fella and all the amazing sides. Even the vegetarians were happy with everything!!!! 

They were right on time, very professional and very easy to work with. 

I’m trying to figure out a good reason to have a party just to have Big Pig come cater it.

What can I say-- Big Pig is AWESOME!  They catered a backyard BBQ for us, and the food was amazing (even as leftovers).  Not to mention, they were so professional, friendly, gracious, and hard-working.  

During the planning stage, I admit, I was very skeptical when my fiance suggested a pig roast.  This was, after all, our wedding celebration (in lieu of a more traditional wedding reception).  Well, it couldn't have been better.  All of the food was delicious, and the pig roast really made it memorable, festive, and special.  I am so glad we did it.  Our guests LOVED it and raved about the food!

 Do not be afraid.  Big Pig provides top notch service and amazing food.

Awesome, memorable, yummy & a pleasure to deal with. Big Pig was recommended in a Yelp Talk thread when I asked about interesting/memorable catering for a backyard party to celebrate a wedding.  Got hitched up in Maine and rather than do a crazy wedding we had a tiny ceremony and then blew our budget on hosting celebration parties in Maine and Boston. Big Pig was the caterer for the Boston party held in our backyard for about ~40 people. The event was wonderful and like many other reviewers have said -- many of our guests were equally impressed by the presentation of the pig as well as the quality of the food. Many pictures were taken.  Check the photos others have uploaded here to see what you are getting! Random observations: I travel a lot on business and prefer to communicate via email if I can since I don't often know where I'll be (or what timezone). Big Pig was easy to work with and we did all the planning and even the deposit payment electronically. No meetings, phone calls or faxes required.  Our party size was smaller than what they usually do a whole pig for but we were able to work something out. Had one party guest with a soy allergy and Big Pig checked their entire ingredient and supplier chain to confirm that none of the foods (or sauces) had soy in them Their roaster and grill could not fit through the gate going to our backyard! No worries - they just setup in the driveway and put on a show for neighbors and the guests.  They worked a hot sunny driveway instead of the shady area we had set aside in the backyard without complaint.The other food was just as tasty as the pork. People loved the salad, burgers, turkey tips and chicken as well. We hate wasting food and knew we'd have tons of leftovers so we planned ahead and bought all sorts of takeout containers and "stuff" so that our guests could take food home. Big Pig felt the same way and also brought carry-home gear with them which was appreciated. We sent everyone home who wanted with lots of food and stuffed our fridge/freezer with the rest. Basically everything was top notch from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Thank-you so much,

Awesome! Chris and Jon were amazing. Planning a menu was easy and they even offered choices not listed on the menu. On the night I our event it rained. Chris and Jon helped set up tents, move tables and chairs around and relocated their serving tables with no issues. They were pros!!  All night our friends raved about how excellent the food was.  Everything was hassle free. I would definitely recommend Big Pig!!!

Dear Chris and Jon,

I wanted to say thank you for catering my husband's 50th birthday party on July 14, 2012.  I cannot express enough how grateful I am that our party was such a success because of the services we received from Big Pig Barbecue.  Every detail was taken care of for me and I did not have to worry about anything accept having a wonderful day with my guests.
Your grillmasters were amazing, courteous, polite, and extremely professional.  On such a dreadfully hot day, those men grilled and worked so hard to ensure our day went off without incident.  You have remarkable employees representing your business!
It is Thursday and people are still talking about how great the food was.  Thank you so very much for making our day so lovely.  My husband loved his birthday.  The next party I host, I am going to try the pig roast.  Please extend my thanks to the two grillmasters who worked so hard on such a hot and humid day.
Fondly,

The food you guys cooked for us was amazing! We heard great reviews on the variety and quality of your food, so we will definitely go with you if we have another pig roast in the future (maybe in the fall sometime). We hope you didn't have any logistical issues with the base and I'm hoping next time we will be able to eat outside in some sunshine! Thank you for everything.

I am so sorry that I have not been in touch sooner, but wanted to say a huge THANK YOU!!!!  Armani said that the event that you all put on for us up at Gillette on May 26th was phenomenal!  I hear there was a huge crowd, and they drank a lot of beerJ  My only regret is that we weren’t able to do it again on Monday.
Thank you for your organization, your professionalism, going way beyond the call of duty and making this event very easy for us as out-of-towners.  You all were amazing!  I look forward to our next trip to Boston so that we may do this again.
All the best,

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to thank you for the order on Sunday.  The food was fantastic and my guests raved about it.  So glad I ordered extra ribs, because with them being that good, people definitely came back for seconds.
I would love to have you cater one of our office lunches.  We are at the Hancock Tower in Boston and we typically bring in a lunch for everyone on Mondays.  Would you be able to do the same type of food delivery to our office for ~70 people for lunch?  Let me know if this is something you would be able to do.  If so, I will forward your contact information to our facilities staff and they will be in contact to schedule a date.
I look forward to our next BBQ!
Many thanks,

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that we are going to be sending the check with the remaining balance to you overnight so hopefully you should be receiving it tomorrow if not Thursday at the latest. Thank you again so much for catering our event and putting up with my constant emails and phone calls! Everyone has been talking about how great the food and service was and my supervisor Liz has already been passing out your business cards to everyone she knows. I’m sure we’ll be working together again in the future. I hope you had a great July 4th weekend!
Thanks,

Hi Chris,

You have a wonderful staff & I would highly recommend Big Pig for any family/corp. event.

I found Big Pig BBQ as I was driving. I saw the van go by and took the number. So glad I called them, they were awesome! I used them for my daughters HS Graduation party. The food was fantastic. We had Option #2 with some extras including the chocolate fountain for dessert. Chris also hooked me up with a canopy, tables, chairs, and DJ. For the first time ever I was able to hostess and not have to worry about anything. Chris and his crew took care of everything..I would highly recommend them and with use them again and again!!

Chris and his staff were awesome. Had a suprise Birthday Party (40th) for my wife in neighbors backyard, 80+ people. From my  first conversation till the party was done, Chris was courteuos, professional and made it totally stress-free when it came to feeding our guests. The food was better than any BBQ food I've ever eaten, our guests are actually calling me and raving how good it was and if they could get his number. I most definitely plan on using Chris again for future get-togethers and highly recommend people to use Big Pig BBQ for their BBQ needs. The pig, the steak tips,the chicken , the corn and all the fixins were absolutely phenomal and you will not go wrong calling him. Chris and staff, Thank You very much for making it an unforgettable party.

We wanted to thank you and Jon for doing such an awesome job at our party on Sunday.  As you could see we had a lot of family and friends together for the wedding.  With that size crowd it is difficult to please everyone but we have to say that every single person enjoyed the food.  In fact, everyone was raving about it.  
Thanks again for everything.  We will definitely keep you in mind for the future.  Ruth says that next time we'll have to do a whole pig!

Chris and Jon -
I just wanted to get back to you to express our thanks, again, to both of you for making our daughter's college graduation party such a success.
When we began the whole party planning process, we were probably looking at 15 different caterers.  After researching these companies, I spoke with about 6 - from which I would make my final choice.  Some came highly recommended by friends, which I typically place high on my list as personal referrals I feel mean a lot.  I only found out about your company on line, which in today's world I feel you can find anything on the web.  All of the reviews about your company were excellent.  The prices of the top 6 I was choosing from were quite varied.  As one would expect, the companies in our local area were lower on the price scale as there is no travel whatsoever involved.   After careful consideration, the Big Pig was chosen . . . honestly, I am so glad we went with you.
I understand there was a mix-up on the menu.  The most important point was how Jon handled the situation.   Jon, you took control of the issue and made everything work.  As I mentioned to you the only important menu item to Jessica was turkey tips, you fully understood this and ensured her satisfaction.  Your calm, professional demeanor is of the highest quality.   And Chris, it also meant a lot to us that you followed up on Sunday explaining your concern with the issue, and ensuring that we were completely satisfied with the outcome, although Jon had already explained this to you.   In today's world, there are not a lot of companies out there who put the 'personal attention' foremost in their service . . . you should both be very proud of your company!
I cannot state enough how delighted we were with everything -- from my dealings with you on the phone and through e-mails, with the preparation and set-up, the serving of the meal, and the clean-up.  All of the food was so delicious, we heard that from so many of our guests.
So, on a final note, thank you again.  If we need a caterer again in the future, you can be sure Big Pig will be our choice!

Unreal!  My brother and I were a little skeptical about hiring a pig roasting company to cater our parents' anniversary party (about 100 people) relying on them for all the food and dessert, but they assured us before hand that they would take care of everything.  They were right....from the delicious steak tips to the pasta salad and roasted chicken...everything was well prepared.  We ordered a medium sized pig, which was the center piece of the party...from which Chris and his crew made up some of the best pulled pork sandwiches ive ever had.  Chris also gave me a great deal on a video slideshow DVD that we played on a projector in the back yard.  I gave him a bunch of old pictures of my parents and he turned them into a dvd with music.  Probably simple to do with today's technology, but it was one more thing I didn't have to worry about doing myself Chris and Jon were recommended to me from friends, and I plan on using them again for some of my smaller parties.  I actually just booked them for a Halloween party coming up next month.

We had Big Pig Barbecue cater a large party at our home last week (9/12).  The guys did a great job-they are reliable, friendly and hard-working.  It is not often that you can have over 60 people at your home and take the time to relax and enjoy yourself but Chris had everything under control and our guests loved the food!  We would highly recommend them.

We used Big Pig BBQ for our cooperate event on 7/25 and I couldn't be happier.  We tried looking in the past for someone to do a pig roast for us but could never find someone until I came across Big Pig.  I found them to be extremely helpful in making our event the best it could be.  They made the event fun, their staff was upbeat and seemed to actually enjoy being there, mind you, they were at the event since 5am and didn't leave until 6pm.  I remember one instance where after they disassembled their grill and Jon came up to me and asked me if I wanted him to put it back to together and throw some more food on, I was astonished that he even mentioned that option to me, in the past we had caters just pack up and leave and not say a word to me. They truly went above and beyond my expectation.  I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer. Those guys at Big Pig really know how to make any event that much better. Thanks Guys I'll be seeing you again

The BIG PIG was great!!!! We had a great time. In fact even when our BBQ was hit with two huge thunderstorm and severe weather they kept cooking and grilling!!! Even in the not so ideal conditions they kept asking what they could do to help us. The food was AMAZING and the service was wonderful. We didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to relax and enjoy our company :)

This review is long past due, but I just wanted to tell the guys at Big Pig what a fantastic job they did for my cooperate event. These people were real troopers showing up before 8 AM in torrential down pour (all day) to labor over one of the best tasting pigs my guests ever had. Seriously! The guys were welcoming, accommodating and very professional. They worked within my budget and were very responsive to my needs.  Not only did they do a great job setting up and breaking down their own things, but they also lent a hand with a few of the other tasks I had to complete.  If ever I do this again I know that I would most definitely give them a call.

I used Big Pig for an 8th grade class BBQ today and I couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Jon and Chris were wonderful, they had everything ready to go when the kids came outside and the food was delicious and plentiful. They even signed some kids' yearbooks. Making arrangements was very easy and Jon took care of every detail from the burgers and dogs to the ketchup and napkins. For a BBQ for 60 people, my organization found the price quite reasonable. I would definitely use them for future events.

I just wanted to thank you for the awesome job you did for my daughter's grad party today.  The food, the service, from start to finish- absolutely fabulous.  Our guests raved about your steak tips, and even though we have some tough critics in the family, you managed to wow them. I wish you luck and we really look forward to holding a pig roast in the future, it is a throw back to some good old (Italian) memories for us!  (of course, we will have the mandatory old women in black for the roast, and maybe have one of the old men break out the accordian!)
Thanks Again to yur crew as well!

We just had Big Pig cater our daughter's graduation party.  It was fabulous!!  I had been in contact with Chris prior to the party via email and phone and he was helpful and worked with us on some of the extra items we were looking for.  We had some real "foodies" come to the party- and the food impressed and wowed them so much, they asked for business cards for their future events! The staff from Big Pig was so accomodating, and helpful, I was able to really just relax and have a great time!! That was a first for me!!  We look forward to our next event catered by them, which will be a pig roast, done the old fashioned way, and soooo delish!!!!

I went to a graduation party/barbecue this past Saturday, which was catered by "BIG PIG Barbecue," a family owned catering business.  They were so fantastic that I feel compelled to recommend them to anyone and everyone!  The food was top rate, cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious!  I was thoroughly impressed by the whole experience and cannot say enough wonderful things about them!  In addition, my friend who hosted the party for her daughter's graduation said that they were extremely reasonable.

I used Big Pig to cater a BBQ for 55 people that followed a company golf event on Friday 9/25.  These guys were great.  From my first contact to Chris, he worked within our budget to customize a menu that was absolutely perfect for our event, some classic BBQ with a few healthy options.  On the day of the event, Chris met me at the course early, set up shop nearby and took care of everything.  All of the Big Pig staff were friendly and helpful, interacted really well with our group and all of our guests loved the food.  I would highly recommend Big Pig to any professional contacts, friends or strangers looking for good value, great service and great food.  We will be using them again next year.

Hey guys,
This is Rob. We met at Mike's roast yesterday. First of all, congratulations. All of the food was great. I talked to my mom today about the pig and she damn near slapped me for not realizing what was missing from your otherwise perfectly cooked pig...MOJO.

We used Big Pig BBQ for a 3 shift manufacturing pig roast catering event on 7/23/09. They were onsite for 24 hrs cooking and basting the pig. They made the event so enjoyable for our employees. Chris and Jon were very organized and punctual and kept me in the loop at all times. The Big Pig Staff enjoy what they do and it shows. Our employees enjoyed watching the guys cook and disassemble the pig right in front of them. The food was awesome and plentiful. They went beyond my expectations for this event. I would HIGHLY recommend Big Pig BBQ for any catering event.  Thanks Guys.

Hey Chris,
I just wanted to say thank you for joining us this past Saturday and that you and the rest of your crew did an excellent job. This was the first time we brought a vendor out for one of our events and we really feel that it added something to the overall atmosphere of the tournament. I hope that you made some good money and that coming out was worth it for Big Pig. I would like to stay in touch for future events if you all are interested. We hold three tournaments in Boston every year and we hope to have you there. Thanks again.

Hello,
So sorry if this is a repeat, but not sure if went through.  I was at a barbeque in Winchester last weekend, and you guys did such a great job.  Very impressed.  I am interested in having a bbq on Sat., July, 11, 2009 at 3pm with approx 75 people and wondering if you were available.  If not, could you give me some dates for Saturday's in July, August that you are.  Also, please send me some pricing info.  Would be interested in exactly what they had on Sat.  Burgers, hot dogs, steak tips etc.
Thanks for your time.  A job well done.

We had Big Pig Barbecue cater a large party at our home last week (9/12). The guys did a great job-they are reliable, friendly and hard-working. It is not often that you can have over 60 people at your home and take the time to relax and enjoy yourself but Chris had everything under control and our guests loved the food! We would highly recommend them.

I just wanted to take a minute to Thank you guys for putting together such a great day for us. My family and friends can’t stop talking about it. You guys did a great job and we look forward to working with you again in the future. ps never hesitate to use us for a reference. I have absolutely no issues. It was a great experience from the time you guys got here until you left. Keep up the great work and maybe next year will be bigger and badder!

Take care, Denise

Chris, Thanks for all of your help with the BBQ for our golf event.  I had a number of people comment that the food was outstanding and the service was great.  I really appreciate you working with me to keep this within our budget and then delivering an excellent product.  I will make sure to recommend you to other professional contacts and friends.  We will also use you guys again when the next event comes up.  Best of luck with the business.
