Spitting Pig Blog

Spitting pig Blog It’s been yet another hectic but very rewarding week here at spitting pig. We have been fully booked up and travelling around providing our quality hog roasts and BBQs to more satisfied customers, it seems our busy schedule is set to continue throughout the year as we have had a mass of enquiries and bookings already for summer 2010. We always look forward to the summer months and this year is no exception. We have lots of exciting events to cater for and of course nothing else keeps us busy quite like the wedding season! Summer 2010 looks set to be even more successful than last year. We are also really looking forward to revisiting satisfied customers this summer as many of the couples whose wedding we catered have invited us back this year to cater for their first year anniversary. This is great for us as not only does is it really rewarding and ensures us that we provided excellent food and service first time round but it’s also lovely to catch up with past customers who more often than not become good friends of ours. But before the warmer weather arrives we have plenty to keep us occupied. Today, like most days, we have been kept busy in the office with lots of catering and machine enquiries. As all of the sales team have experience in catering and using our machines it’s great to speak to our clients and share our experiences and advice on the hog roast industry. As we offer services in catering, machine hire and machine sales we are always kept very busy in the office dealing with all these different enquiries. Our special offer of machine hire for a month at £500 has attracted lots of small business such as hotels; pubs etc who are hoping to expand business and improve some of their events with a Hogroast. As hog roast events are growing increasingly popular and more and more people are choosing to enjoy a tasty a hog roast on their special occasions it’s a great chance for small business to take advantage of this great offer. What makes this deal even better is the quality of our machines. As our existing customers will already know we design and manufacture our machines in house so we have used our knowledge to create quality, reliable machines. If you think it’s something that your or your business might benefit from give us a call today and a member of our sales team will be happy to help.

Yesterday we catered the wedding of the new Mr. and Mrs. Richardson of Cannock. It was at a country manor in Cannock, Staffordshire and it was beautiful. The sun was shining, the food was great and the bride looked beautiful.

We arrived at around ten o’clock in the morning to set up our kitchen and lay all the tables. The house was beautiful; it was set in its own grounds and dated back to the 15th century.

The bride arrived in a horse drawn kart with the longest dress I’ve ever seen in my life, with four or five bridesmaids all dressed in peach.

We served them canapés and champagne on arrival and everyone mingled outside on the lawn while the pig and lamb were cooking, the bride and groom had asked

If we could cook the pig and lamb on the lawn so all the guests could see them cooking, and the guests loved it, they were stood around the machines mesmerised. The sun was shining and every one was laughing, it was a very relaxed happy wedding, in this job I cater allot of weddings and the more relaxed ones are always the best.

After an hour or so when the photographer had taken loads of pictures, everyone moved inside and sat to eat. We moved the pig and lamb inside next to the buffet tables and ten minutes later everyone was eating. The bride and groom had chosen our wedding menu 2, its a great menu, it is canapés, main course served as a buffet and then the wedding cake served as desert, it’s a great menu because usually at weddings, the cake costs so much money and usually it’s just for a photograph then it’s chopped up and given to family members and eventually ends up in the bin. But with Wedding menu 2 we use the cake as desert, so once the pictures were taken and the speeches started we took the cake away and plated it with coulis, fresh berries and freshly whipped cream, then we take the plated desert out to the table whilst the buffet tables and machines are pulled away. Wedding menu 2 really is a great value menu.

Then once we had served the desert, all the plates, knifes and forks were collected in and the tables were tidied and in the back we had set up a clearing area. So everything was moved out of the way so all the guests could dance and have a drink without us being in the way. When we have cleaned everything and loaded it all into the van it then took us about two hours to get back.

Some weddings just work, and this was one of them, I would have loved to have been a guest at this wedding. Because it was a big country house, there were loads of bedrooms and all the guests were staying over and doing things together the next day. All in all it was a great day.
