5: What is a hog roast?
You might have an image in your head of a pig rotating on a pole over flames. At Spitting Pig however, we use hog roast machines. These hog roast machines are a bit like large ovens. The meat is placed onto the tray and is then cooked on a low flame right in front of you, with a glass see through panel that allows you to view the meat as it is being cooked for you.
Hog Roast Machines come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some are cylindrical whilst others are rectangular. All come on wheels and are therefore easily transportable.
Traditionally, the roasted pig is served with a variety of accompaniments, such as roasted vegetables. There is always plenty to eat as a hog roast, so you won’t have to worry about you and your guests going hungry. As the meat is cooked on a low flame, there are no time constraints attached to cooking the hog, meaning you can always come back for seconds.
6: Is a hog roast right for my event?
Hog roast catering, can cater for an eclectic amount of events, ranging from weddings, birthdays, fetes, charity or corporate functions and literally any other form of event that gathers a large number of people. At Spitting Pig, we are convinced that hog roast catering will be great for you and your event.
At Spitting Pig, we will do all the hard work for you, from providing you with the machine to the accompaniments for the meal itself. All you have to do is get in touch with us, tell us the details of your party and from there on in, you can put your feet up with the morning newspaper whilst we do all the hard work for you. So That you don’t have to worry about setting up the machine or even operating it, our caterers will take care of that.
What’s more, our hog roasting machines don’t need electricity to run, so you can enjoy your hog roast by one of Northumberlands many rivers without any hassle at all. Be quick though, as any resident of Cumbria will tell you, it doesn’t rain but it pours. Why not enjoy the dying embers of the summer months with a hog roast for you, your friends, family or work colleagues?
Depending on what type of function you want to organise, whether it is a small family gathering in a back garden to a wedding reception in a stately home in nearby Windsor, the vast experience which has been accumulated due to providing an extensive number of hog roast catering events has benefited those who have been served a tasty and succulent slice of hog roast.
This price band allows for the hog oven to be hired, the gas canisters to be supplied as well as the hog brought along so that it can be cooked during the function and delivery of all equipment is included in this price as well. Waiters and waitresses which have years of experience behind them allows for them to provide a high-quality service and, if you require a sit-down meal, being supplied with a silver service function which has impressed many of my previous customers and bound to create a distinguished evening for all of your guests.
No matter how big or small the budget of any function is, every effort is made so that these requirements are successfully met. With a smaller budget comes less services provided but a vast majority of my previous customers have opted for this opportunity as they have wanted to carve the hog themselves or they have their own gas supply which is more than able to cook the hog. They have also been able to provide their own condiments so this reduces the overall bill total.
