    We want to share our experience with The Roving Feast so other couples know what to expect. We…read moreworked with 7 other wedding vendors, all of whom received glowing, five-star reviews from us. Unfortunately, this caterer was the one vendor that caused constant stress and frustration and turned what should have been a fun planning process into a 7 month-long headache. While the food itself was delicious and the on-site staff were friendly, that's where the positives end. From the start, communication was slow, disorganized, and full of errors. We requested two in-person meetings to clear up repeated mistakes, and both times were promised updated proposals within a few days. Instead, they arrived 3-4 weeks later, only after multiple follow-up emails and phone calls. We didn't even receive our final invoice until 11 a.m. on our wedding day. Food & Service: We were charged for four servers but only had two. Guests had to refill their own water carafes and even serve themselves salad on what was supposed to be a staffed buffet, and this was at the direction of the owner! Dessert was never served, and we ended up cleaning up leftover food, garbage, and bottles the next morning. Unlike every other vendor we worked with that day, who checked in upon arrival and throughout the evening to ensure everything was going smoothly, the owner never checked in with us at all. Bar Service: We were told we'd be invoiced after the wedding based on the number and types of drinks actually consumed. Instead, we were charged six hours before the event for a predetermined number of drinks at the highest price tier on her menu. The bar also closed 30 minutes earlier than we paid for, something we only discovered when the bride went to order a drink and was told everything had already been packed up. We also were told we would have two VTLCB-certified bartenders but only had one. When we questioned it, the owner admitted that the third food server had been pulled to work the bar, which meant an unlicensed individual was serving alcohol to our guests. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner sent a series of aggressive, accusatory emails demanding immediate payment while acknowledging errors on her end. When the groom called her to discuss corrections, she apologized for her tone and agreed to send an updated invoice. He even offered to pay for the services the servers had already provided as an act of good faith so she wouldn't be delayed in receiving payment, but she declined the offer. What followed were multiple hostile emails filled with false claims and personal accusations, including that we distributed more drink tickets than we paid for, a claim disproven by her own photo and our accurate count. Her behavior after the event was shocking, combative, dishonest, and deeply unprofessional. We've since reported our experience to the venue that lists her as a preferred caterer so future couples are aware. It's so disappointing because every other vendor we worked with was wonderful, responsive, and kind. We wish this had been the same experience here. If you value transparency, honesty, and respectful communication, please take this as a serious warning. The Roving Feast misrepresents its services, is evasive about pricing, and treats clients defensively and disrespectfully when questioned. It was, without exaggeration, the most stressful part of our wedding.

    Luke and The Hindquarter were one of our very first bookings for our wedding, and boy were thrilled…read moreto have them! We immediately loved the idea of having food cooked over the fire, but it was the first phone call with Luke that sealed the deal. He's an expert; the way he talks about weddings immediately inspires confidence and calm. We were planning everything from out of state, and Luke made it remarkably easy and fun. Not to mention how stunning the food actually IS! My husband and I had the time of our lives at the tasting, and at the reception we must have heard about a hundred times that it was "the best wedding food ever," from guests. The presentation is out of a magazine... in fact, I believe they were recently featured in Vogue! (Congratulations, wonderful people!!) The menu options are unique, fresh, and basically all of our favorite foods. And speaking of favorite foods, they have these chargrilled oysters! I must have eaten a dozen of these, as the very kind staff kept walking them past my husband and I during cocktail hour. What a tremendously happy memory. Thank you, Luke and The Hindquarter for making our wedding unforgettably delicious and special. We can't wait to come back to VT and eat more of your incredible food! HIRE THEM! :)

    Go hungry. I found…read moreThe Hindquarter through a Yelp event, to which they brought such tasty nibbles as smoked chorizo with tapenade, steak tartare on potato chips, spring rolls with julienned carrots and cucumbers, and lamb meatballs in a creamy cheese sort of sauce. The spring rolls were a flat experience, but it's truly in their meat that they shine. I tried their pork bahn mi at the ArtsRiot Friday food truck event. The meat was perfectly seasoned and seared, the flavors and texture well juxtaposed with pickled vegetables and grilled, buttery roll. For the work and expertise that goes into the meat preparation and flavor combinations, this sandwich was worth every penny of the $9 they were asking for it. I should not have tried it after a late lunch and on such a hot day, though: had I been profoundly hungry when I ordered it, I can only imagine that this would have been a wonder. Next time, I'll hit it up after the gym.
