The Spitting Pig Company: hog roast catering and equipment manufacturing in the UK

The Spitting Pig Company is a British company dedicated to hog roast and other meat catering, as well as the manufacture and sale of roasting machines. With over thirty years of experience, the company presents itself as one of the UK's leading suppliers of high-quality meat and poultry and as a specialist in the hire and sale of state-of-the-art roasting equipment. Its activity extends to events of all kinds across the country.

Event catering services

The company offers catering services for a wide variety of occasions, from small private gatherings of family and friends to large outdoor events with hundreds of guests. Among the options it details are corporate catering, Christmas catering, private party catering and wedding catering. The service is described as comprehensive: it includes dishes and tableware, table setup, food preparation in front of guests and subsequent cleaning.

The food offering is structured into menus such as the classic hog roast, Southern slow roast, festive Christmas menu, BBQ, alfresco wedding menu, wedding with evening buffet, winter warmer menu and grab & go meals. In addition to roast hog, the company prepares spring lamb, roast beef and poultry, cooked with the same combined oven and spit roasting equipment. It also includes vegetarian options so that all guests are satisfied.

Roasting machines: manufacturing and sales

The Spitting Pig Company designs and manufactures its own roasting machines in a workshop located in the UK. All equipment is constructed from stainless steel and does not require a mains electricity connection, so it can be transported in a van and used in any outdoor environment, such as the middle of a field for a festival, a corporate venue for a corporate BBQ or a marquee for a wedding reception.

The range includes several models. The Platinum can cook two whole pigs at once; the Hogmaster Pro is designed for smaller parties; the Titan is the most popular traditional spit roast model; and the Zeus line is aimed at heavier use. The company also markets professional hog roast machines, with the same features as the Titan range and manufactured from high-strength stainless steel, suitable for indoor and outdoor use all year round. These units are supplied with a catering-grade hog tray and spit set, also made of stainless steel, and can be ordered as a standard hog roast oven, spit roast machine or combination unit.

In addition to sales, the company offers machine hire, used machines, finance, delivery and training for other mobile catering professionals who want to expand their offering. It has a showroom and a training service.

Suppliers and coverage

The company works with a network of suppliers specialising in meat and poultry, and states that its products come from selected, award-winning British farmers, renowned for their livestock breeds. The catering team is made up of experienced professionals operating throughout the UK, unlike other competitors who limit their service to local areas.
