What a wonderful weekend we had at the Spitting Pig, going from event to event, place to place, north to south and new to old customers. The sun has started to shine and it has shown in the number of sales going up and event enquires. We Brits love the sunshine and when it is out we can’t get enough of it, sunbathing in the garden or on the beach, having a good ole BBQ, going for a swim in the pool or ocean and now having a hog roast is becoming more popular in the summer and sunny spring days.
You cannot deny how delicious and popular a hog roast is becoming within the UK. People around the British Isles are discovering the mind blowing taste of a hog roast and wanting more and more, the guests at events taste the delightful dishes and want to have an event hosted for their party. After having events hosted for them, some customers decided to take on the role of hog roast chef themselves and have bought or hired one of our machines. We feel becoming your own hog roast chef is a totally different experience and as rewarding as having The Spitting Pig host for you. You can dazzle your family by roasting up a scrumptious feast for them all which will look visually amazing as well as taste superb, or impress your friends with a hog roasting machine and roasting a hog right in front of their eyes and make their taste buds tingle with the gorgeously roasted meat.
We had a special event this weekend hosting a Christening for a beautiful baby boy. We roasted a hog in our hog roasting machine outside the church while the Christening commenced, we had prepared 6 hours early so the hog would be cooked as soon as the ceremony had finished. We set up; soft floured rolls, fresh hot stuffing, tangy apple sauce, crispy crackling and pig meat were all ready to be put into a soft roll and handed out. Once the ceremony finished everyone filtered out the church towards the hog roasting machine for their feast. Respectably the family who’s baby was christened received theirs first. The baby boy preferred milk to our hog roast unfortunately, apart from that everyone else enjoy their pig in a bun very much and widely complemented our cooking skills and presentational skills, we gave out our business card to various guests who wanted one for their event.
It was lovely meeting new baby Joseph and hopefully see him soon.

You can defiantly tell its Spring now, with the wild weather changes. Raining, to Sunshine back to Rain, then Sun. I wish the weather would just make up its mind, the Spitting Pig doesn’t mind the wacky weather since we use gazebos in the rain or shine so nothing can ruin a good ole hog roast. We can cater for any event in any weather or condition; the scorching heat, finger numbing snow, bone chilling rain, blistering winds we will be there with a smile on our face and a hog on the roast. We would rather appreciate some shelter though, if there is some to cater in.
Even though you may think having a hog roast in the winter is crazy. We still get booking for the winter, since a hog roast is a great winter warmer plus people exchange the original Christmas dinner for a hog roast or spit roast, or they even celebrate New Year’s Day with one. We have also sold many hog roasting machines over the years to people wanting to host a Christmas dinner for family and friends and to celebrate going into the New Year with a hog roast surrounded by loved ones.
The Summer is when the Spitting Pig gets most enquires since; it’s Summer! People get the BBQs out in the garden, lay out the sun loungers, fill up the paddling pools, the fun in the sun begins. Some people decide to try a new summer experience and have a mighty delicious hog roast. Whether we cater for them or they do it themselves, either way it is an experience everyone should have in their life time. It is a truly remarkable and unique experience you will never forget and will be wanting again and again.
Whether you are wanting to hire us out or hire one of our hog roasting machines out or even buy one, we truly recommend you experience a hog roast and we would love it if you were to experience it with us, we will show you a 5 star experience you, your family, friends and guests will want many times, we can help you become a hog roasting chef with our professional help you will be roasting away in no time, you can try out try before you buy service where you rent it for a week or more and if you love it you can buy it straight away.

Here at Spitting pig we have been catering for a variety of people this Easter and another one of our event was a spectacular Easter wedding which was as dazzling as the food was. We set up bright an early as the sun shone on the ancient wedding chapel, it was like the wedding was getting blessed.
The lovely Yorkshire couple had picked both; Spit Roasted Pig with Apple Sauce, Stuffing, Crispy Crackling as well as Spit Roasted Sirloin of Roast Beef served with Horse Radish Sauce, Yorkshire Puddings and Homemade Red Wine Gravy, they both sound mighty fine plus they will be served Crusty Bread Rolls, Selection of Sauces, Fresh Locally produced Vegetables and Roasted New Potatoes in Rosemary and Garlic. Wonderfully crafted Canapés were served as the guests arrived and delicious produced Puddings were served after the main course.
We were all ready prepared with canapés at the ready, gazebos up, tables laid, cutlery out, meat slowly roasting away. As the guests started to arrive and canapés were handed out while most of the guests gathered round to see the hog being roasted. We were asked many questions but one that kept coming up was, when would hog be read? Their mouths watered that bit more when we opened up the hog roasting machine and lifted the beautiful golden hog up into the carving position. By that time nearly all were gathered around watching it be carved onto a plate drizzled it with apple sauce and put some stuffing on the side, then we added roasted new potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic, some of our fresh vegetables, golden and crispy crackling. The bride and groom received theirs first, then the other guests who were in line. Some people before they even reached the table took a sneaky bite of the meat just to stop their belly and mouth waiting.
After munching down on a spectacular main, a light and delightful dessert was in order, Chocolate Torte and Cheesecake were perfect choices. Both were enjoyed extremely , the bride and groom were was really something special and we were told we made it that extra bit special, since the food was “truly amazing in every way” we said our goodbyes and drove back to the office knowing we had done a extremely spectacular job, we cleaned the glorious machines which helped us along the way and rested up until the next job.

Here at the Spitting Pig we had an eggstra special Easter this year, just like we do every year. The Spitting Pig was very busy all over the UK from Friday the 6th to the Monday the 9th. We at Spitting Pig love to celebrate festival events; Christmas, New Years, Birthdays, and many more. A hog roast perfectly complements any day, weather, time, and place.
We had a massive corporate do to cater for which we would be hosting for over 500 people. We took up the challenge and embarked on a mission with our esteemed hog roasting machines to Liverpool. We got there bright an early on a chilly Easter Sunday, set up two roasting machines one with our hog roast kit and one with the chicken spit kit. We then began to roast the beautiful pieces of meat our speciality Roasted Pig which will be served with Apple Sauce, Stuffing & Crispy Crackling and accompanying that will be some Free Range Spit Roasted Chickens served with Stuffing and Homemade Onion Gravy which defiantly had their mouths watering just by hearing of what will be served at the corporate do. Slowly but surely the sun poked it head around the clouds then started to shine little after that the corporate workers slowly arrived in ones and two then began to arrive in big group and before we knew it over 300 people were at the event with more arriving by the minute.
We started to cut and butter the soft breaded rolls, get bowls of our freshly made stuffing and Apple sauce, plus start to boil the gravy for the chicken. We then carved the pig up while my colleague began to carve up the chickens, two quickly queues formed one of the chicken and one for the hog. People in the queues watched on mouth watering waiting for them to be next in line holding the gorgeously roasted meat in their hands on or their plates. You could see the delight on their faces when they were standing in front of you next to receive their meal. If could be described just like a children begin handed some chocolate or sweets. Once they were given their meal they moved to the side quickly and began to chop down on the meat. All 500 plus people was filled with joy and delicious meat. We were widely complemented and gave out our number to many workers for us to cater for them in the future.
All in all it was a excellent day for us and the corporate workers since they got to enjoy a hog roast this Easter.

Here at Spitting Pig we have a wild and wonderful weekend planned ahead of us, with a range of events from; a company open day in Cambridge where we are going to roast two juicy pigs for them and put them in our soft white floured rolls with our special stuffing and appetising applesauce, birthday party in Somerset where they have picked our Private Party Menu 3 they decided they wanted us to roast Local Free Range Spit Roasted Chicken served with Stuffing and Homemade Onion Gravy which sounds delightful doesn’t it, after we got a wedding to attend to in Coventry. Today has been and look to be really chilly hopefully it will brighten up for these events we have planned. It has been very sunny this whole week until today, but this will not put a damper on our day due to our multipurpose gazebos which can be used to block out the sun and keep you shady, stop the rain from ruining your day.
When the sun was shining everyone went mad booking us for machine hires and hire us out to cater. During the spring but mainly in the summer people go crazy for our hog roasts it really is amazing, yet we still get bookings during autumn and even winter. Even though the Jubilee week is near enough 3 months away we are getting loads of bookings to cater on this outstanding event or they want to be a chef for the day and cater. We have been asked by many people to cater outside in the street. This will be a crazy yet amazing experience.
This week we hosted a massive event for a big company which we have catered for many years now. We set up our Corporate Hospitality Menu Option 5, which consists of 6 delightful and light canapés to get your taste buds tingling, then a choice of one of our scrumptious starters to prepare you for what is to come, they had a grand choice of 2 main courses they obviously pick Spit Roasted Pig served with Apple Sauce, Stuffing and Crispy Crackling and Spit Roasted Sirloin of Beef served with Horseradish Sauce, Yorkshire Puddings and Homemade Red Wine Gravy which they enjoy thoroughly these scrumptious dishes were served with our yummy crusty bread rolls with a selection of sauces, 3 salads; Tomato & Basil, Carrot & Orange with Sesame Dressing and then Classic Caesar if that wasn’t enough they had to their potato option which they opted for New Potatoes Roasted with Sea Salt and Rosemary. You may be thinking that this was the end of the Menu but it isn’t to polish the glorious feast off the 2 delicious desserts; Cheesecake and Chocolate Torte.
What a banquet!

At Spitting Pig we have been extremely busy, so much so we have been working overtime. We have booked a couple of events for this up coming weekend we could also have more by the end of the week!
We have been asked to host a company show day for a rather big named company. We have hosted a couple of show days over the years for them already. So we know where we will be setting up and how to position everything, which helps in a big way due to the fact we know what hog roast machines will fit in the required space we have, how much or how little take. The last two show days were great success, for this show day coming up and the last two, we roasted two pigs beautifully turning them golden brown and made the crackling sensational. Many of the guests loved our homemade Applesauce and Stuffing. This Private Party Menu is a big hit with everyone, big companies, and customers from all over. It may be simply but it tastes sublime, I may be the most popular menu since it’s quick and easy to make plus goes down well at any event.
Everyone has been going crazy this week with booking for the Jubilee. We have had more than 100 customers asking for us to cater at the Jubilee we have set up a grand Summer BBQ Menu since we feel it is perfect for this event. It consists of BBQ 100% Beef Handmade Burgers, Chefs Own Gourmet Sausage, Chicken Kebabs & Meaty Marinated Spare Ribs, we also provide a vegetarian alternative like always to please those people who are vegetarians. All theses delicious dishes are served with Soft Floured Rolls, plus there is more; Three Freshly Made Salads; which are Tomato and Mozzarella Salad with Basil Dressing, Fresh Green Leaf Salad, Comprising Lollo Rosso, Curly Endive and Lambs Leaves, Delicious Hand Made Coleslaw, which is all made on site by your Chef. To top it all off you get scrumptious Warm New Potatoes in Herb Butter. We feel this is a Menu that must not be missed.
Or why not become a Spitting Pig chef for the day and hire out one our outstanding machines, prices just start £195 so what are you waiting, host a Jubilee feast for your family and friends and enjoy this Diamond Jubilee in style.
