About

Capt. Rob's Pigalicious Barbecue Catering is a onsite catering only business located in Mechanicsville, Virginia. We service Richmond VA market and central Virginia. We would be glad to discuss doing an event outside of the area. With onsite catering we can guarantee a high quality, fresh product. We cook for only one event per day making the meal memorable for the bride and groom. Pigalicious can cater any of the bridal events that require that something different food. We can make the meal laid back or upscale by just changing how we present the smoked meats and comfort side dishes. We can do a basic bbq with pulled pork, chicken, baked beans and slaw or we can do something a little upscale with our smoked flank steak with portobello sauce, red skinned sour cream mashed potatoes, and roasted veggies. It's your choice and your meal so if you don't see what you like on our menu, just ask and maybe we can do that special dish that holds a memory. We do appetizers, non-alcohol drink stations, bar pouring services, etc. We usually do lunch for the bridal party because everyone is too busy to go get lunch on the wedding day. It is amazing how good a smoked hot dog taste.We will also leave the leftover's with client if refrigeration is available.

Absolutely awesome!

Rob and his team catered our October wedding and I can’t emphasize enough how awesome he was to deal with! He was very professional and accommodating! We kept in touch for months before the wedding and he was readily available for questions or concerns I had. Now for the food...... people are still commenting on how good the food was at our reception!!! He offered many different choices and everything was cooked right on site! He offered lunch for the wedding party on the day of our wedding and was there to assist in everything we needed!! I will be using his services again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious Food, Top Notch Service!

We are SO glad we chose Capt Rob to serve our food! He was extremely professional, communicative, and made some darn good food! We appreciated his flexibility in adjusting our contract a few months after we'd signed (so like 10 months out) and also a month out when we had a few guests with dietary restrictions! Also, as for the value, I got quotes from several of the BBQ caterers and in the area and Rob's pricing is the most competitive!

On the day of, he made hot dogs and candied bacon for everyone helping us set up and getting ready -- it was key for those of us who hadn't really planned a proper lunch! The candied bacon was to die for. People loved that he was cooking on site!
Everyone raved about the food and several people went back for seconds, but we still had a ton of leftovers. The staff also left the place spotless -- going around and picking up trash until midnight! Rob also took the time to figure out where to dump the trash and took most of it over himself, even though our venue didn't require it. It made it a lot easier for us to clean up the next day. He truly cares about doing a good job and making your big day run smooth!

I can barely find the right words to describe how talented Rob is. Rob catered our wedding a few weeks ago and in all seriousness, our guests are STILL raving about his food. My DJ who has been in the wedding business for 15+ years said it was "hands down the best BBQ he has ever had." For our tasting, we went to Rob's house and he made us feel like we have known him for years. If you want a caterer with exceptional talent and a heart of gold, Rob is 100% your guy.

Rob and his staff did an amazing job catering for our wedding in September at Wolf Trap Farm in Gordonsville, VA. The service was great, and the food was amazing. I was nervous at first when deciding on a BBQ style dinner for the wedding, but with our rustic venue it fit perfectly, and it was the BEST decision! It is the end of November, and every time we see/talk to guests from the wedding they still rave about how amazing the food was! Rob is very knowledgable and was able to give us many valuable tips as we made final decisions for our meal and even the reception as a whole. I 150% plan on using Capt. Rob's Pigalicious Barbeque Catering for other events in the future!

Captain Rob was the perfect choice of caterer for our wedding at Cousiac Manor! He was awesome to work with and answered all of our questions quickly and clearly. He and his staff were on time and professional from start to finish. And the food!! People are still talking about how much they ate and how good it was. That southern BBQ was so tasty, it almost made this UVA alum forget that Captain Rob is a Hokie fan. Thanks Captain Rob and Pigalicious for making our wedding day so delicious!

Pigalicious should get 10 stars!!! Rob gets to the bottom of what you want and he gives you the best bang for your buck. He is organized, professional and FUN! The quality of his food is top notch. You will not be disappointed if Rob is your caterer. You can tell his business is his passion. Thank you Rob for making the food so memorable that people still talk about our wedding food over a year later!

Capt Rob catered my wedding in October 2015, and it was the best decision I've ever made!! He is upfront, honest, and very knowledgeable about the business: The man knows how much food will feed your group, how to serve it, where to set it up at the reception, how many plates you need to rent, how many throw-away plates he will provide if you don't want to mess with a rental company, etc... He knows answers to questions you haven't even thought to ask yet! And he's flexible about the options. If you have a case of "bride brain" and keep changing your mind, he will work with you and help you make decisions, while also making you laugh. He is a JOY to work with! Oh, and THE FOOD! The juiciest BBQ chicken thighs, best cheesy potatoes, delicious pulled pork, and those collard greens were the best I've ever had. I got so many compliments from guests about the food! And let me tell you that makes any exhausted bride glow with pride!
