The Fishin Pig was so easy to work with and the food was incredible!! They have lots of food options and also provide bartending service. They made my life much easier on the actual wedding day and also with planning. They also provided disposable cups and plates for apps, desserts, and nonalcoholic drinks. Everyone loved the food and everything was perfect! Highly recommend!!
Great experience. Needed to feed 50 people. They helped determine how much pork and chicken we needed. Had more than enough. Food was outstanding. Professional and very customer friendly. Would recommend them highly.
We could not recommend The Fishin' Pig enough! From the start of the booking process, to the wedding day, they were such a great vendor to work with. They were very responsive to all of the questions/changes we made along the way, helpful with bar quantities, the food was delicious (we had so many compliments from our guests,) and overall extremely nice people to work with. The staff they sent out on our wedding day were also to nicest, most helpful people. We highly recommend The Fishin' Pig!
I really liked the Fishin’ Pig despite a few issues we encountered when they catered for our wedding and rehearsal dinner in June this year. I would recommend them for anybody looking for decent food and great staff, at a good price.
That being said there were a few issues that leave room for improvement. At the rehearsal dinner some of the bread rolls were a bit moldy which raises quality assurance concerns, but furthermore despite following up with an employee and email, no response nor apology was ever received.
The rest of the food quality was perfect, but the food itself isn’t anything to remember. Just the basics of southern cooking. I will make a special mention of their excellent crab dip though, delicious! They were great in accommodating the guests’ food allergies by providing 5 allergen free meals (dairy, gluten free) at no extra charge.
The staff were all excellent, polite, helpful, and dynamic with the chaos and demands of our wedding. They really have some great people. They also came with bartenders which was awesome for our cocktail hour.
The final price was quite good for all the staff and food provided. About $30-$40 per head (estimated about 100 attendees). Considering the other options in the area west if Richmond, they are a cut above from what we saw for such a reasonable price point. Some catering costs get absolutely insane for even a medium sized wedding like ours.
Fishin' Pig made our wedding a breeze! The BBQ feast and appetizers (shrimp cocktail, cheese board) were a hit with our guests and were so tasty! Bria was so helpful and communicative throughout the planning and preparation process and day of their team took care of everything from set up, serving, and clean up. We can't recommend Fishin' Pig enough! A wonderful addition to our wedding.
We had a great experience working with The Fishin Pig to cater our wedding. They stayed in constant communication even with change in Event Staff a few weeks before the wedding and the day of staff were constantly checking in to see if we needed anything. Food was delicious and we received many compliments with how good it was. The only thing is, we were supposed to have vegan options and a separate side dish for allergy-sensitive guests but we are not sure if the dishes were provided. Our guests did not see them and we did not get them in the leftovers and we should have confirmed the day of but it was very chaotic trying to remember everything. We should have checked this but also expected it to be mentioned or caterers to check everyone received the correct dish.
I hired the Norfolk location to cater my wedding and would highly recommend. They were super responsive to all of my questions and provided very detailed responses. My guests raved about how good the food was. They also provided an excellent bartender for my wedding. They went above and beyond their duties and helped with our dessert table and pre-ceremony beverages. Very impressive!
Would not have gone with anyone else! My husband and I looked at so many caterers and Nikki K. was by far the most responsive, kind, and clear. We didn't have a specific vision for every food at the wedding, and her and her team came up with such wonderful ideas (like a lemonade bar and homemade desserts)! They also had amazing service, fair prices, and perfect food - we were able to pick great food that fit our romantic mountain wedding without breaking our budget. I cannot recommend the Fishin' Pig enough!
I could not be more grateful that we chose The Fishin' Pig as our caterer. We went with a pretty nontraditional venue and the team at Fishin' Pig was accommodating and open minded through the whole process. The walk through was thorough and they communicated really well with us. Shout out to Nikki for her help and communication! The food on the day was over the top delicious - our guests were hugely complimentary! They also went out of their way to make plates for my husband and I to make sure we were well fed even with all the wedding day distractions. I highly recommend going for the fried foods - the bang bang shrimp and hush puppies were to die for!! I was also very concerned with making sure our guests with dietary restrictions had a real meal, not just a side salad. Their options for our gluten free, lactose free, and vegan friends were excellent. Everyone was full and happy! We got so many compliments on the food AND on the service. So many guests came up and told us how kind and fun the staff and bartenders were throughout the entire night. The leftovers (including alcohol) were packed neatly and we are so excited to snack on BBQ this week! I can't recommend The Fishin' Pig enough - book them now!
The Fishin Pig did an amazing job catering for our wedding. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Nikki. She was also quick to answer any questions we had, super knowledgeable, and helped cater to the special requests we had. I could not recommend The Fishin Pig more!
Food is amazing, the staff is so diligent, and Nikki the coordinator is the absolute best! Questions and concerns are always answered accordingly! Love this restaurant, and so glad they catered our big day!!
Nikki did an awesome job getting our menu items together, and they did an awesome job on the food as well as taking care of all our needs. They even went out of their way to add an item onto our menu that they don't normally cook on a regular basis. Everyone at my wedding said that they really enjoyed the food. I couldn't have picked a better caterer!
The Fishin Pig was amazing for our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. The food is delicious and all of my guests agreed! The catering manager Nikki is also so helpful and friendly! I couldn’t have done it without her! She handled a lot of details for me and I am so grateful for her and her help. I would recommend The Fishin Pig for anyone needing their services, and also their restaurant because all of their food is great!
The Fishin’ Pig was absolutely amazing! From the beginning of the planning stages to the end! They have great customer service. They also create a wonderful atmosphere while serving at your venue. Also, the food is delicious!
The Fishin' Pig did an amazing job with our catering. They were very professional and kept everything organized and flowing well during the event. The food itself was amazing. Best food I have ever had at a wedding! The baked beans are a must--they cook them in the smoker with drippings from the brisket and are very delicious. They even fixed a plate for us so we were "forced" to go sit down. Everyone told us that they didn't get to eat at their wedding but the Fishin' Pig made sure we were taken care of as the bride and groom. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect and our venue was very impressed with their service and professionalism as well. You can't beat the quality of their food for the price!!
