I want to thankyou so much for your fabulous Hog Roast. The food,salads and desserts were fantastic. We can not thank Scott enough for all his hard work and his friendly professionalism...what a gem.!! Also Chris and Val who gave us excellent service. It made the whole occasion a wonderful success.Guests were all most impressed with the food and were still talking about it the next day.There was more than enough of everything and allowed people to come back for seconds and in some cases third's....and there was still plenty left!! Fantastic.!! I can not thank Scott, Chris and Val enough for making our 70th Birthday celebration an occasion to be remembered.Do please thank them again from us and tell them how delighted we were with everything.
I will certainly recommend you ...just wish you were nearer so we could use you all again!! HUGE THANKYOU.

Dear Dave
Please pass on our sincere thanks to Scott, Sue and yourself for putting
on an exceptional service for our anniversary on Saturday. The quality,
quantity and service provided was excellent and many guests were quick
to comment on all aspects. The pork was a good chocie and there was not
a lot left over at the end of the night. Everything about the service
was professional and you were highly recommended for anyone thinking of
having a similar event.
Many thanks and hope to use you again one day.

"Never have we had BBQ food that tasted that good, Dave Haggett exceeded our expectations!"
Edd and Amy Langmead (08 2011 June Tiverton)
Hi Dave -
Well where can I start? I don't think it's possible to heap enough praise on the service and hog roast I received for my wedding. Scott was affable, presentable as well as being incredibly helpful during the day - often going above and beyond his catering role to help with the overall running of the Reception. Fantastic.
As for the food - outstanding, both taste; quality and presentation-wise. I have had such positive feedback from my guests, it was quite overwhelming! Everyone was satisfied - especially my husband and I. It should also be noted that dealing with this company in general has been a welcome breeze. Communicative, prompt responses to queries (either by phone or electronically) and above all highly professional. I shall forever recommend you to whoever will listen!
Many many thanks, Jody Latch (04 June 2011 Stokeinteignhead)
Dave, Many thanks once again for a very professional service at our 10 year party at Kenton Vineyard. We had so many comments on how good the food was and the whole service was slick and expertly performed. I would recommend you to anyone wanting a hog roast. April Marks

Dear Dave,
We thought the service was fantastic, your staff were delightful and the food was excellent - especially the puds which have led to serious over-use of the phrase "to die for". You were efficient, co-operative and a pleasure to work with.

Hi Dave
“A big thank you to all your hard work and effort to make our April Fools night a success! The Pork was lovely, A lot of our Owners came back for seconds! The Staff were kind and knew how to talk the customers. We will look forward to using you again.” –( Gem From Finlake Holiday Park 1st April 2011)
'The belated timing for our son's Thanksgiving Service landed us right in the middle of a blustery winter's day, and we were concerned about having a hog roast at the end of January 2011. No problem for Dave Haggett! The pig was sublime and the sense of theatre that was added by choosing 'the whole hog' really added to the day. Delicious. Thanks again Dave.'Christopher Archambault ( Head chef Barcelona Hotel Exeter) (Jan 2011)

Hi Dave
My apologies for not sending this email sooner. Thank you very much for the hog roast on Sunday. The meat was excellent and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I have had no complaints whatsoever.Can you also please pass on my thanks to Scott, who was amazing. He was so helpful and lovely with everyone and had to work hard to get everyone fed, which he did in a very short space of time for the amount of people we seemed to have there about 250.

Hi Dave,
Now the dust has settled from Saturday, we’d just like to say thanks again for doing such a fantastic job of the catering at our wedding reception. Everyone commented on how good the food was. The hog was cooked to perfection, the accompaniments were delicious, and the desserts were the best I’ve tasted in a long time. I was ready for a hearty lunch, and that was certainly what I got! Throughout the day I felt that you and your staff had gone above and beyond what was expected. You really pulled out all the stops, even though you weren’t always given the best facilities or instructions to work with! The service was excellent, everything was delivered with a smile and all our needs were catered for to perfection. We’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you. You did a thoroughly first-class job.
All the best. Keith and Debbie (Falmouth June 05/2010)
Thank you! The food and service were fantastic. Lots of very happy guests. Thank you for being so helpful and accommodating. I will highly recommend you! People were commenting on how helpful and friendly you and your staff were, as well as how nice the food was. Thanks again.

Dave
Just a quick note to say thanks to you and your staff for the fantastic service and wonderful food that you provided on our wedding day last Monday.
The meat joints were fantastic (and provided dinner for 20 the following day!) and everyone enjoyed the cream teas!
We can't recommend you highly enough.
If you want to put a testimonial from us on your website, that's ok with us.
Thanks again.
Mark & Zara (May 2010)
Hi Dave
Hannah and I would like to provide the following short recommendation following our wedding.... ‘Dave Haggett came recommended to provide a hog roast for our wedding at Hatswell Meadows, but despite this he managed to exceed our expectations. The hog roast and trimmings were themselves first class and even managed to convert a life long vegetarian back to the ways of meat eating! Dave also provided waiting staff who were absolutely brilliant and we received so many comments regarding how professional and friendly they were (along with Dave of course). Many thanks for making such a big contribution to our day Dave – best wishes from Joe and Hannah.’
‘Joe and Hannah (May 2010)
Hello Dave
We are both well and still enjoying married life!
The hog roast was excellent and helped to make our day very special, not to mention hassle free.
Everyone I spoke to thoroughly enjoyed it.
You are highly recommended. Kind regards
Mark & Sarah (April 2010)
you went down very well at the Tesco Crediton store, Kim the Community Champion spoke very highly of you, so thank you for all your hard work. I imagine you were VERY cold in the snow!
Lauren (Jan 2010)
Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful hog roast you provided for my birthday party on the 17th October. It was really excellent, with crackling 'to die for' - to quote many of my friends! I have been to hog roasts before that have been quite greasy, but yours was tremendous!
Jane Goss-Custard, Lympstone (2009)
Thank you so much for catering for our wedding at Hatswell Meadows in September this year. You and your staff were a delight to deal with and a pleasure to have around on our special day. It almost goes without saying, but the meat was absolutely fantastic and our guests are still talking about how lovely the crackling was. And your vegetarian option was pretty amazing too!
Sara Whittaker and Lawrence Heaton-Wright (2009)
Chris and myself wanted to drop you a line to say a big thank you for helping Chris's 50th birthday celebrations go so well. The pig roast and all the trimmings were outstanding, as was evident by the size of the portions that all our guests were eating! The homemade summer puddings and strawberries and clotted cream also went down a treat. I would also like to comment on the excellent presentation of the food and the professional service provided by yourself and your staff which was second to none.
If I could steal a phrase from Marks and Spencer "it wasn't just a pig roast it was a Dave Haggett pig roast!!" which was exceptional. Chris and myself have held large parties for a number of occasions and will be doing so again in the future, and you will be top of our list for providing the catering.
Chris and Julie Jelf, Paradise Point, Dartmouth (2009)
Thank you very much for your valued contribution towards our annual barbeque last Friday. The comments I have had back from guests, staff and monks has been extremely complimentary.
Please pass on my personal thanks to all those involved.
Sue Hester, Buckfastleigh Abbey (2009)
Jim and I want to say a huge thank you for a really excellent hog roast on Sunday. You cooked the meat to perfection and had so many good comments from the guests. We felt very honoured to have the boss carving.
Mr & Mrs Higgingson (2009)
Thanks for a really perfect job on the hog roast. Everyone enjoyed the tender meat and the crackling and you looked very smart in your uniforms.
Julie & Gemma (2008)
Dave and his team were one of the caterers that we used last year at Plymouth Volksfest. I can without any doubt at all recommend their hog roasts. The set up they use is very professional, clean and hygienic and we have asked if they would like to come back this year as we received very good feedback.
