  Flying Pig Roast prepared all of the food for a Funeral Luncheon the Cranberry Lake Firemen’s Auxiliary hosted today. Everything was wonderful. Would highly recommend them. Five Plus Stars

  Absolutely fantastic!

  The food and service were amazing! Truly a great company and team to work with! Everything (pig/sauces, cornbread, coleslaw, salt potatoes, pasta salad (super delicious), beans and rolls) was absolutely delicious. Bruce and Linda, our servers, were friendly, professional and went above and beyond by bringing out our own prepared appetizers.

  Best Caterer we have ever hired!

  Best decision we made for our son and future daughter in laws Jack and Jill shower was hiring Flying Pig Roast to cater our outdoor summer event! Extremely professional staff who displayed the pig to carve and all the delicious sides with care and expertise!!! Our guests were all raving about the flavor of the sauces to slather on the perfectly cooked pig and the AMAZING side dishes that were recommended by Chef Ron himself!!! Woah!!! Their delectable Mac and cheese is to die for…along with their signature glazed corn bread! Both are a must when you plan your menu! The staff completed their job with an efficient clean up and packaged up all the leftovers for us!! If you are looking for the BEST tasting catered food for your event… hiring Chef Ron is a must!! You will not be disappointed. We are excited to have Chef Ron and Flying Pig Roast coming back this Aug to cater our daughters outdoor wedding ! Our guests can’t wait!!!!

  Upscale wedding pig roast perfection!

  Chef Ron did a great job catering our wedding. I was in a panic trying to figure out a new caterer when my previous one completely bailed a month before our wedding, leaving us with no options of how to feed our guests. Most of the other caterers I reached out to quoted me ridiculously high prices for a wedding pig roast because it was so last minute. Ron worked with me to pick menu options that fit our budget and my original vision for my wedding food. He was patient and responsive and an absolute joy to work with.
  
  The food was spectacular on the day of my wedding. The presentation of the pig with an apple in its mouth and surrounded by kale leaves is exactly what I wanted. We also got Jerk Chicken as a non pork option for guests and my Caribbean family raved about it and begged me for the recipe thinking my family must have made it for it to be that good. And don't even get me started on that bruleed cornbread. It was such a hit that I didn't even get to try a bite of it at the end of the night. I think people may have loved it even more than my wedding cake.
  
  Hiring Flying Pig Roast was the best decision of my wedding (next to marrying my husband I guess...) I can't wait to have them cater my anniversary dinner next year!

  You wont be disappointed - delicious!

  I was nervous at first hiring a caterer 2 hours away from our venue- but Ron and Lynne were so thorough and detailed in all our communications that I realized there was nothing to worry about. We had never tried their food before and it exceeded our expectations. All our guests complemented on how good it was - especially the creme brulee cornbread -my sister in law wants to order a tray of it for Thanksgiving!
  The pig was juicy and the variety of sauces served alongside satisfied everyones taste buds.
  Our servers were so professional - they took care of every detail. They made the night stress free!
  Were so happy we chose flying pig to cater our wedding

  Hello Mary, Thank you for taking the time to review us, it means so much to us and the staff to get feedback after an event! The Maple Brûléed Corn bread always gets great reviews at events. We are very proud of our 3 made from scratch sauces, Beaver BBQ (mild), Buffalo Bee Sting (medium) & Hurtin’ A** (xxx hot). Please let us know if you ever need anything at all in the future. Thanks again! Chef Ron & Lynn

  What a fantastic experience. Ron and Lynn are exceptional to work with. We live hours away and only spoke on the phone (for hours!) until the day before my daughters wedding. We never had a tasting ( I trusted the reviews) and the food was beyond my expectations. Our guests were so happy and I have received so many texts about the food and service being so great. Don't think they only do pig roasts. They are wonderful caterers who will do anything you want. So happy to have worked with them. I wish I lived closer so I could use them all the time. Oh, and their staff were top notch. I will actually miss our phone calls and planning! Happy to write this review and happy to provide details to anyone considering hiring them.

  A very special thank you to Chef Ron, Lynn and staff for fulfilling our daughter's dream wedding. This event was held at our home for 175 + people, and without a wedding planner to oversee all of the details. They are so professional on their service that evert hung just fell together! And the food .. absolutely excellent. We have had so many compliments about how great the food was and how professional the service!

  Chef Ron and his crew at Flying Pig Roast were wonderful to work with. The food was wonderful and the team was very flexible as we worked through all of our plans. While they may be based in Syracuse, they have a wide radius for their delivery services, so a reception in Ithaca worked well. Everyone loved the food and the fun that came with having a pig roast.

  So glad we chose Flying Pig!

  Overall, this was such a good experience. My family is packed full of foodies and my dad is a chef, so we took finding a quality catering company seriously and this team did not disappoint! Ron and Lynn worked with us to customize a menu that worked for our budget. Everyone had great things to say about our pig roast dinner including my dad! They did a great job displaying things nicely without and don't need much guidance with that. If you want that fun pig roast dinner I highly recommend them!

  We were so happy that Flying Pig Roast was a part of our big day. We booked them sight unseen and the food was absolutely delicious. Chef Ron and Lynn are so kind and willing to work with a couple to accommodate any special requests. Absolutely recommend!

  Wow, I need another pig roast now..

  What is the most common phrase you see in movies, TV or your own personal experiences when at weddings? I'd say it's people saying to the bride "wow, you look amazing". Well, not if you have Flying Pig Roast cater your wedding - then the number one thing you're going to hear is "oh my gosh, that pig was AMAZING!" Every person we talked to could not stop raving about the food, and it's hard to blame them. The pig itself was delicious, and so were all of the sides and desserts we had. Ron and Lynn were easy to work with throughout, though occasionally a little slow in responses. On the day of, it was clear they knew EXACTLY what they needed to do. On a day where I still needed to coordinate occasionally with people, I barely had to say a word to them. At the end of the night, they neatly packaged all the leftovers for us in containers to take home - I'm so excited that I get to keep eating this wonderful food! Overall, our experience with them was very positive and we would recommend it to anyone looking to do something a little different with this pig roast buffet.
  
  P.S. If you use Flying Pig Roast, you absolutely have to get the "pig candy" - your guests will obsess over it!
