Valley Pig Pickin’, LLC is a locally owned catering and concession service located in Woodstock, VA that specializes in on-site “whole hog” barbecues…known as pig pickin’s in North Carolina.
Josh Holloman, manager and pit master, can also provide barbecued pork ribs, pork shoulders and butts, half hogs, beef briskets and barbecued or smoked chicken. We will accommodate whatever your tastes are; ranging from pork barbecue Carolina style to Texas style beef brisket. All of our sauces are homestyle, from the Carolina style hot pepper vinegar to the sweet and tangy taste of Texas.
Valley Pig Pickin’ derives its name from the traditional way whole hog BBQ is served in North Carolina, Josh’s home state. Pig roasts, hog roasts and pig pulls are other names for what is called a pig pickin’ in North Carolina. When Josh moved to the Shenandoah Valley, he could not find BBQ the way he thought it should taste and be served…hand pulled with a vinegar based sauce. To make a short story even shorter, he decided to offer his experience cooking whole hog BBQ as a service to the people of the Shenandoah Valley. Hence, Valley Pig Pickin’…bringing over 20 years of BBQ experience to the Shenandoah Valley...and beyond.
We will set up our custom smokers and cook everything directly on your site. We only use hard wood and charcoal to smoke our meats….never propane like some of the competition. We don’t deliver a pre-cooked (meaning cold) meat and warm it up for the event…..everything is slow smoked the way it is supposed to be… right in front of you and your guests. You get to savor the sights and smells of the meat slowly cooking right at your event. If you choose the whole hog option (our specialty), then we will showcase the pig in all of its smoked glory to the crowd prior to hand pulling and chopping all of the delicious pork BBQ for your meal.
Our sauces are all homestyle from recipes handed down from family and tweaked by Josh to make a perfectly balanced sauce between hot peppers, vinegar and sweetness. We offer a couple of varieties to please multiple tastes.
We can provide all the fixin’s as well if you choose. All menu items are designed to compliment the unique flavor of authentic pit cooked BBQ….cole slaw, potato, pasta, broccoli and fruit salads, and our own unique recipe for BBQ smoked baked beans, cooked in the BBQ pit for a wonderful smoked flavor!! We can ususlly meet any special side dish request as well...just ask!
