Monday, November 28th, 2011

Good morning its Monday the 28th of November 2011 and time for the first spitting pig blog of the week. Usually Monday mornings are hectic here at spitting pig but with a nice quiet week ahead it seems that everyone is winding down  from the busy weekend of catering that we did on both Saturday and Sunday.

Bring you a first class catering service is what we take pride in here at Spitting Pig because we know that it is not just our catering that we give at a high standard it is our full service, our waitresses and waiters are always dressed to perfection with  there professional uniform and treat your venue and guests with respect.

This weekend it was great to here such positive feedback about our staff and the excellent service they provided at the weddings this weekend this to us makes it all worth while which is why we love bringing the hog roasting experience all over the U.K.

Winter warmer

Friday, November 25th, 2011

Hello and welcome to the final spitting pig blog of the week, its the 25th of November 2011 the weekend is almost here and it is now time for the latest news from here in the office today.

The weather is taking a slight turn for the worst now that we are coming to the end of November and there has been a few showers of rain already this morning it looks like snow is on its way for the festive season.

We have been taking many bookings for company Christmas parties this month. Many people are wanting a hot hog roast buffet this year, rather than a cold finger buffet which is why we have been so busy processing the paperwork from the confirmed bookings. Hot tender pork that just falls off the bone served with stuffing crackling and a selection of home made sauces all served up in a delicious soft floured bread roll an excellent winter warmer! what could be better?

No waiting Around

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Its Thursday the 24th of November 2011 and time for another Spitting Pig blog.

Me and the team are heading out within the next hour to cater at a 60th birthday party.

The team have got all the fresh ingredients ready to prepare on site at the event.

We have over 300 hundred hungry guests to feed so we have made sure that we have brought more than enough meat to go round and with bread rolls, stuffing crackling and a fantastic selection of sauces and side dishes its sure to be a great evening.

When we  are cooking our meat fresh we like to come to your event and set up our machines six hours before service to have the succulent meat fully cooked in time and so we can prepare your chosen salads and potatoes in plenty of time too.

This is so there is no waiting around for your hungry guests when they arrive… because lets face it, the meal is one of the great things at any event that everyone seems to look forward too and it will certainly leave your guests with something to talk about.

Monday, November 21st, 2011

Good afternoon and welcome to the first spitting blog of the week. The weather is good today here at head quarters today and we hope it stays that way as the catering team have headed off on there way this morning to cater at a wedding,

on a Monday? I here you say, yes it is an unusual day to get married on because with out a doubt Saturdays are the most popular day for a wedding or any event that I can think of in fact, but the couple are having an Autumn themed wedding and this day is when they met 5 years ago, so not that strange to them having a Monday wedding after all.

Our catering will be cooking up a variety of canapés fresh on site along side the two chosen meats turkey and pig to satisfy the guests.

200 people will be attending so the catering team are looking forward to a busy and eventful day as we always do here at spitting pig with our wedding events because they are our favorites.

Anyway back to the office we are quite busy at the moment as Mondays are always the busiest day of the week with work from the weekend to catch up on, however we love to stay busy here at spitting pig and we like to stay as organized as possible to bring the best customer service to our clients.

Machine Hire

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Hello and welcome to Thursdays Spitting pig blog. Today is another quiet day for us here at spitting pig so the catering team are heading off to collect a couple of machine hires that are due to be picked up today.

Hiring a machine is a great way to get a feel of the machine and to fin out exactly what they are like to work with. Like many clients we have worked with before, they prefer to hire the machine from us a couple of times before they decide to purchase one to make sure it is the correct machine for them.

When hiring a machine we have two options, you can either clean it after you have used the machine to cook your meat in or we now even give the option of leaving it dirty and we will clean it for you at a small charge, so if your busy which we know you probably are why not leave the cleaning to us?
