Fantastic meal for >100 person wedding breakfast

Absolutely fantastic three course wedding meal for 106 guests (charcuterie buffet starter, hog roast main, lemon tart dessert) and provision of crockery, cutlery and glassware. Incredibly fairly priced (significantly lower cost than the several three course caterers I received quotes from), excellent communication, organization, flexibility, adaptability, conscientiousness and composure: all key attributes in this field. Importantly, the food was awesome; delicious hog roast, apple sauce and gravy with perfectly cooked vegetables, all served at the optimal temperature on warm plates. I would 100% recommend Gordon and his entire team.

Incredible catering for our wedding!

LJB Hogs were absolutely exceptional and incredible value for what they delivered. We couldn’t be happier with the food, service and vibes they brought to our wedding party. All of our guests complemented the outstanding hog roasts, vegan pie options, all the sides, canapés and the evening food of charcuterie and cheese boards. There was plenty for everybody with some hog roast left over which we put in Tupperwares to freeze and enjoy after the wedding. Gordon was brilliant to work with. He and his team were responsive ahead of the day, and as our wedding arrived, he was professional from start to finish, serving all the food on time to top quality. As well as catering, we hired a bouncy castle through Gordon which was SO much fun, another highlight of the day, and the little boozer which got plenty of use and attention. Highly and happily recommended. Thanks again Gordon. We loved having you.

40 th birthday

I booked LJB Charred Hogs for my girlfriend’s 40th birthday, opting for the Gold BBQ package for 100 guests.
The food was amazing — and there was plenty of it! None of my guests went hungry. The meat was outstanding, and one of the reasons we chose LJB was because they are relatively local and source their meat from a reputable local butcher we know and trust.
Gordon and his team couldn’t have done enough for us. We even met him at the venue a month before the event to go through the set-up, which really put me at ease ahead of the day.
So approachable and accommodating throughout — I would definitely recommend these guys and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in the future.

First Class Food/services - Stress-free Guaranteed !

We hired Gordon and his team at LJB Charred Hogs to run both the catering and bar at our wedding in November 2025, and from start to finish the communication was absolutely first class.

We chose a hog roast with sides and roast potatoes for the main meal, and the food was outstanding. In the evening we also booked a hot buffet, which once again was faultless. Everything was cooked perfectly and received so many compliments from our guests.

Gordon also ran the bar for us, supplying beer, lager, cider, Prosecco, champagne and a wide range of spirits. Having everything handled by one company took so much pressure off myself and my wife-to-be and made the whole process stress-free.

They came highly recommended by a friend, and I’m so glad we booked them. We got married at Ashbarton Manor Estate in Braunton, North Devon, which is a long way from their usual working area, yet they still arrived two days early to set everything up — a huge relief and a real testament to their professionalism.

I wouldn’t hesitate to book LJB Charred Hogs again for any event and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for helping make our day even more special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
