The Fat Hog

Fat Hog & Big Pan Catering is a professional mobile event catering company that offers quality food in a rustic style with great service. We operate primarily in Hampshire and the surrounding areas, and we take pride in our ability to stimulate the senses of our guests with our food. Our guests can smell the tantalising food as it is freshly cooked in front of them, see the food cooked and be 'wowed' with our rustic display, and taste the delicious flavours of the food. We bring our own kitchen equipment with us, allowing us to set up in a field or outside the venue.

Wedding Catering

If you're getting married, we offer full wedding catering packages that include canapes, sharing board starters, hearty mains, jam jar desserts, wedding cheese cakes, and evening food. You can choose the number of courses you want at your wedding, as well as the type of mains you want with street food options like Paella, hog roasts with salads and chutneys, or hearty open pies and mash. For evening food, we offer street food bars, stone baked pizza, toasties, and much more.

Corporate Catering

In addition to wedding catering, we also offer a range of corporate catering for staff lunches to large summer parties. We can cater for events for 40 people to 2000 people, and we don't need a kitchen to set up. The food options include hot breakfasts, canapes and drinks, festival style food for staff parties or family days, bowl food for networking or non-seated events, desserts and drinks, staff lunches, formal 3 course sit down meals, street food Christmas menus, and bespoke menus.

Our Story

Fat Hog & Big Pan Catering is a story of passion and perseverance. The company was started by Rob, who had always wanted to be a chef from a young age. After working in various restaurants, hotels, and pubs around the world, Rob took over a hog roast business and developed it into Fat Hog & Big Pan Catering with a fresh brand, style, and food offer. Today, Fat Hog & Big Pan Catering is known for its unique style of street food catering that brings together unique ideas, fresh, high-quality food, and amazingly fresh flavours.

Our Service

We can cater at any venue with or without a kitchen. We bring our own catering tent for cooking and catering equipment, provide tables for the buffet, rustic display items, and serving equipment. We usually serve inside the marquee or venue and offer a vast menu using local suppliers with high-quality fresh produce. Our main food options are served on our unique rustic display, allowing your guests to come up and have a variety of choice and have the meal they want. We don't just provide great food, but we also provide a personal service to our customers, offering advice, support, and being on hand to answer your questions about your function.
