Hog Roast - Pig Roast - Pig Roasting - Hog Roaster - Hog Roasts

Our company is founded on providing first class and very high quality hog and spit roast catering to your event. To any location across the whole, broad region of Northern England, we have plied our exquisite trade at hundreds upon hundreds of events. Providing food that is stunning is the first aspect of what has made us so successful to date as well as the ability to offer a theatrically dramatic experience for your guests. After all, we dont just eat with our mouths, but all the senses are employed whilst consuming food. Therefore, when it comes to booking your next event with us, you are only a short phone call or email away (by simply using our easy to use and integrated quoting form system).

We began decades ago in the business of event catering, and have gone on from strength to strength. Over this lengthy time in the hog and spit roast event catering trade, we have been witness to many catering firms fade into non-existence and it is nearly always due to the same few reasons. These include using cheap and low quality ingredients, using un-skilled staff and by lacking in dedication to adhering to the wishes of the client. With great connections with farmers and producers all over the region, we have an impeccable track record when it comes to the produce which we roast on our spits. Along with this, our sourcing of seasonal vegetables ensures we both provide our clients with exceptional flavours, whilst doing our bit to help British producers. Through extensive connections such as those mentioned, we can source the very freshest of whole meats at short notice if neccessary (great for those last minute customers who invariably get let down by other firms). Thus, when you see the glorious meats rotating and being flame roasted at your event, you can be sure that they are of the finest quality indeed. Simply Delicious!

 Our clients can make the most of the catering possibilities of their event by indulging in a huge range of meats. Through our extensive meat sourcing capabilities previously mentioned, we gladly and proudly offer our clients the choice of whole pigs, whole spring lambs, whole turkeys, chickens and tender loins of beef. All roasted from scratch at your event, with various seasonings – your guests are sure to be thrilled. Leaving you to play host whilst we ensure that whilst your meat slowly roasts towards its lovely golden hue, we craft and create the lovely accompanying dishes. Happy to indulge any questions you or your guests have whilst the meat is roasting, our chefs simply love imparting their knowledge and showing people how it all works. Alternatively, we can be as discrete as you like – it really is your choice. Our accompanying dishes really are a delight in themselves, so any vegetarians need not feel excluded, quite the opposite; as our chefs take great delight in matching the quality of our freshly flame roasted meats with the vegtable and salad options which we offer. By using all of our own bespoke hog and spit roasting machines, our abilities to roast for large numbers of people are simply unprecedented. Being able to roast for over a thousand people with just three flame roasting machines allows you, our clients, to truly have your event the way you like it, without the need for holding back on numbers. This ability is compounded by the use of whole meats; a huge advantage as we dont have to mess around with individual fillets of meat. It really is a winner all-round.
