The Zeus machine is a heavyweight of the catering world. Packing a culinary punch where it matters most, these units constitute a seriously good investment, just look at this product description and you’ll see why.

                The dual doors which house the hog as it cooks, as well as keeping the inner workings of the machine safe at all times, are crafted from the finest and toughest of stainless steels. One door has a large glass insert, through which expectant customers can see the hog turning or roasting towards its golden position of absolute perfection. This perfection is brought on by a fully automated gas assembly that runs in concurrent symbiosis with a clicked and pilot automatic system. The base unit of the machine, its structural heart and soul, is constructed using toughened powder coated steel for exemplary looks and great performance and durability. For movement on a grand yet precise scale, the underside of the machine is garnished with four pneumatic wheels which make light work of all the toughest and most intricate of catering situations, as they include a fully interactive steering system. Two stainless steel panels constitute the serving tray and the machine is available in three different types. First is the hog roasting model, the second is the spit roasting model and the third is the combination model which makes the best of both worlds of roasting.

                The Zeus Hog Roasting set-up includes a hog tray constructed from ultra tough and durable stainless steel, two supporting bars made also from stainless steel and two end plates finished in black

                The Zeus spit set-up comes complete with a pole with spit attachments, a counter-balance made from stainless steel, a motor unit with a dual aspect bracket and a carver tray made from stainless steel.

Zeus Hog Roast Machine

The Zeus Machine is a Commercial machine capable of cooking pigs up to eighty five kilos in weight.
It is made with a combination of stainless steel and mild steel which is then powder coated black, this means that as a customer you can benefit from having the stainless steel parts where you need them, whilst saving money by using mild steel on the areas that have less wear. All of the parts on the Zeus that get the wear and tear are all of the highest grade of stainless steel, and the parts that are powder coated go really well with the stainless steel to give you a great looking machine. The Zeus machine is capable of utilising all of the attachments in the Spitting Pig range, so you can use the machine as a Hog roast, a spit roast or as a barbeque!

The Hog roast attachment is by far the simplest way to cook a pig; it effectively turns your machine into a huge oven, which means you can cook anything you want, from an eighty five kilo pig to a selection of different meats with jacket potatoes. The Spit roast attachment is the most theatrical way of cooking I am aware of, people spend hours mesmerised by the beast turning whilst it cooks. It really is an awesome sceptical, and is often the centrepiece of events. The Spitting pig company also have a chicken spit attachment available for the Zeus machine which is capable of cooking thirty five chickens in two hours, it is also ideal for a selection of meats or jacket potatoes. My personal favourite is the strip loins of beef, because the different arms of the chicken attachment literally just clip on and off it means you can space out your cooking times for each arm, enabling you to have well done, medium and rare beef which always goes down really well.

The Zeus dual steel hog roast machine is one of our commercial ‘heavyweights.’ Contradicting the metaphor by being extremely light considering its massive culinary capabilities, the Zeus is the perfect machine for the semi-intensive mobile caterer. Making use of a dual steel construction, strength and durability, coupled with great heat/cooling properties, our customers have never failed to be completely impressed by its awesome roasting power alongside its supreme versatility. In areas where the use is most intensive, the Zeus has been constructed from bullet-proof, brushed stainless steel. This is extremely hard wearing and can take a huge amount of wear and tear, and general abuse. A great asset for the mobile caterer, the machine is easy to wash down and will be looking great for the next occasion. In areas where the wear levels are less strenuous, the Zeus machine benefits from black powder coated mild steel. Cheaper than stainless steel, this not only offers our customers a lower price, but the black sections help to make the Zeus one of the best looking spit, hog and ‘combi’ roasting units in our range.

            As its name suggests, the Zeus is the master of making big impressions. Critically, it makes the right ones. Parties and functions are continually attended by those who enjoy the spectacle of the machine, and as our extensive experience (over 20 years!) I the catering industry has shown, the visual scene of the machine, coupled with the wonderful smells emanating from it, make the Zeus machine a tour de force for the senses.

            The Zeus benefits from being able to easily support the chicken spit attachment. This is a true triumph for sheer catering power and presence. Being able to simultaneously cook 35 chickens in just two hours is just one of the monstrous advantages that can be obtained by our customers. Having sections which can be easily added and removed, the chicken spit accessory allows joints of beef to be cooked simultaneously whilst maintaining a variety of extremes to which they are cooked (rare, medium-well etc). having this capability not only highlights the focus within the variety when it comes to using this machine, but is also symbolic of the sheer catering strength that this machine has.

WHAT HAVE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE ZEUS MACHINE GOT TO SAY ABOUT THEIR PURCHASE?

 Getting feedback from our customers is always great for us. For any caterer, from the Michelin star tagged restaurateur to the hot sandwich seller in a car park, the value of knowing what your customers think of what you give them is arguably the most valuable source of information as regards the future direction of your enterprise. With the words of your dear customers taken on board, there is no reason why caterers and everyone in the field of business alike, cannot go forward and be more productive and more profitable.

Here at The Spitting Pig Company, our dual pronged approach to catering (with machine manufacture as well as the conduct of our own catered events) we have been able to make the most of our customer’s views. Where many of our past clients now form a large proportion of our friends, it is easy to see that we don’t just love the way in which our customers can help us improve, but we also genuinely enjoy their company. As regards the Zeus machine, here are a few words that have been said about the product:‘Absolute top draw in the kitchen and great on our jobs near the coast. Second machine that Ive bought from The Spitting Pig and its even better than the first. It cooks so much meat and veg that its almost worth getting one for the kitchen and one for the road. Im not one to waffle on, so I’ll keep it short. If you’re a caterer who wants to beat the rest then this Zeus machine is what you need.’ – Phil Keinemann, Restarateur.

‘Really impressed with it. Bought the Zeus to save a bit of money as already owned a Titan, which we all know is indestructible. Needed the machine due to the rise in interest in hog roasting and it is absolutely brilliant. For the huge savings that we made, the machine performs just as magically as the Titan and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Unless you’re a caterer near me, then of course, stay away! But seriously, great product and we couldn’t do without either of our machines now.’ – Jane Fielder-Haines, Bespoke Caterer.

CAN I ONLY ROAST PIGS OR CAN OTHER PRODUCE BE COOKED IN THE ZEUS?

Believe it or not, this is one very common question. Many people, as with our catering jobs also, approach us thinking that only pigs are roasted in our machines, a belief which is un true yet understandable (as seemingly occasions are called hog roasts even when other animals are being cooked). Our catering aspect of our business has allowed us to cook a wonderful variety of produce for our customers in the past. This has also facilitated the production and adaptation of our machines to allow for this process to occur in a seamless fashion, or as the occasion demands. The Zeus machine is a commercial giant, as regards our range of hog and spit roasting machines which are available for sale. As an 85 kilo pig can be easily managed by the systems within the Zeus, the roasting of whole lambs is a simple yet absolutely delightful option which can be chosen by the caterer or customer. By utilising attachments, such as the chicken spit attachment, the caterer can spit roast 35 chickens simultaneously! On top of this, whole turkeys can be despatched with ease, as well as loins and fillets of beef, which taste simply beautiful when roasted on our chicken spit addition.

Many meats, along with roasted vegetables, can be beautifully prepared within the Zeus, as its versatility is only exceeded by its durability.
