The second rule is quality. A broad and wide ranging notion, the insistence that quality plays within our event catering set-up is absolutely paramount. As we also design and manufacture our own range of market-thumping hog, spit and combination roasting machines, we can continually evolve our machines through our experiences at our many and widely varied catered events. Through this, not only do our hog and spit machine customers receive the ultimate in technological manufacture, but our catered event customers get to experience the optimum levels of catering available today.

Founded in 1986
Founded in 1986, Spitting Pig quickly become the UK’s number one Provider of spit and hog roast catering.
Stephen Marsden,MD, has built the reputation of Spitting Pig on consistent reliable service and over the 20 years has perfected the best catering equipment and methods. Spitting Pig is now offering this to people wanting to profit from their own successful business. Our equipment is built in-house to the highest standard using the finest materials and latest manufacturing techniques, enabling us to guarantee you a first rate product and a responsive maintenance service.
Manufacturing Journey
“On my journey, I have learned a great deal about the importance of service. A good event leads to a recommendation but a great event leads to many more. Attention to detail is critical: Consider the difference between how turning up professionally in named chef whites looks, rather than appearing in a dirty shirt and shorts. I believe the package is not only about the equipment, but also about providing a helping hand to our partners, sharing the wealth of knowledge gained through my long standing experience in the catering industry.”
The Spitting Pigs illustrious machine manufacturing journey began over thirty years ago. With Stephen and Adam at the helm, the boys initially began by modifying existing machines. These hog roast machines were built around the basic spit roasting concept and were effective in their desired arena, that of outdoor and indoor mobile hog roast and spit roast catering. However, due to Steve and Adam’s extensive experience of re-fitting obsolete trucks and thus making them roadworthy, the men set to work improving, modifying and re-modelling the machines.
Equipped with saws and power-tools, it wasn’t long before the machines had effectively become different entities from the objects which they started life as. Approaching each and every problem with a positive attitude, the many design failings found within the original machines were ironed out. This resulted in the Spitting Pig Company becoming very popular, very quickly indeed.
The Growth
Back then, the founders of the Spitting Pig Company lived a life of freedom and fun, not often seen today with many of us working long hours for most days of the week. At the start, Adam and Steve would do catering jobs at functions and parties and earn enough money to go surfing in Cornwall or Devon. Using their own adapted machines at the events which they catered for, not only were people fast becoming hooked on the taste of beautifully cooked, slow roasted meat, but also highly intrigued by the lightweight, powerful and hugely capable machines that the guys were using. Through this scenario of catering and self advertisement of the machines, the interest in the mobile roasting units quickly manifested itself as orders coming in on behalf of customers wishing to become owners of the machines themselves. Utilising the skills of local engineers for a time, the men started to sell more and more machines.
Through this, investment was put back in to the development of the machines themselves. This scenario continues today just as it did 20 years ago. Soon after the first major orders had been serviced, it became apparent that manufacture was best done by us instead of contracting out to others. This way we could control every aspect of the process, from design to manufacture. Believing wholeheartedly in sound engineering, along with having a huge respect for Britain’s history as a leader of design and engineering innovation, our own manufacturing facility allowed us to implement immediate changes in the design of our machines as different catering scenarios presented themselves out in the world of catering at functions.
Leaders In Our Field
This symbiotic process of design and manufacture has made us what we are today. Undoubtedly the leaders in our field, it is no arrogant boast that we lead the field by an extensive margin. It is the opinion of our clients and it is through the dedication, passion and perfection that we continually strive for.
Now a large team, we still remember our company’s relatively humble beginnings. However, it is now as it was then; that when you combine energy and enthusiasm in the design and manufacturing process, coupled with an insistence to get every detail right, there is little that can prevent the success of both yourself and your customers.
Spoilt For Choice!
The chef was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience even better. His expertise really shone through in the quality of the roast, and he was a pleasure to have around. The presentation was spot-on, with a wide range of delicious additions to customize each plate. Even our dogs couldn’t stop staring, eagerly waiting for their portion!
Spitting Pig exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service.

Delicious food first class service friendly people. Big thanks to James, Jackie and Roy.
Thank you so much.
We were worried that for a smart black tie event that they would not be the right thing, but they were wonderful. They were invariably professional, well organised, accommodating and efficient people with which to deal. The pork itself was juicy and really delicious – cooked for hours – they had woken at 4am to have it ready for 8:30pm but the crackling was what attracted the highest praise. The sides and salads were all great too – and they served my birthday cake with their usual efficiency. They seemed to be a really well run and friendly team of people too, if only more businesses were like them.
