A Warm Welcome

Every Time!

The hog roast – A dish and culinary style so good that we couldn’t help but set our name by it. If you have never seen nor had an authentic hog roast before then prepare to be amazed by one of the best dishes around.

Hog roasting, in its traditional form, is a special process of roast dining whereby an entire pig is placed upon a spit and turns for at least 4-6 hours over a pit of flames. The idea is that the turning action of the pig keeps all of the flavour and juiciness of the inner meat circulating all around throughout pork, meanwhile the flames below leave an excellent charring across the entire pork skin, eventually turning to a perfect crisp and golden-brown hue for all that wonderful texture that you want in any roast.

It’s an incredible practice that has been employed at great cultural celebrations gatherings, and events across the world for centuries in one form or another. As we know the UK loves a roast dinner, and our team thought we would provide this stylish practice for the modern event once again to create the very best experience that dining has to offer.

Hog Roast Caterers in Colchester

The thing about hog roasting traditionally is that it can take quite a bit of set up and space to pull off in its authentic form. It is why this most brilliant of culinary traditions has largely gone by the wayside, save for what you see on period tv shows and films.

We endeavoured to make it not only feasible for just about any event, but also affordable too whilst celebrating within Colchester. That is why when we designed and created our very own mobile hog roast machines, condensing the age old practice into an easy to use and move unit, we revolutionised the catering and roasting game for events.

All guests (including vegan and gluten free) delighted by your catering at our 90 person wedding. As well as delicious food, the team was lovely and set up without any fuss, and even came round to tidy guests’ plates afterwards (which we weren’t expecting). Brilliant service, very reasonable price for all we received (including leftovers!).
Clear communication before, during and after the event.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Spitting Pig Yorkshire.

Thank you for providing your hog roast for our corporate family day event. The Spitting Pig team were fantastic, they arrived at the expected time to set up, they were ready to serve at the start of the party, everyone commented how good the pulled pork sandwiches & wraps were, the grilled halloumi vegetarian option also went down a treat. Jon & Luke did a sterling job, were very friendly and cleared away at the end, leaving us left over pulled pork for our team to enjoy in sandwiches today, which has gone down an extra treat for a Monday! We will definitely be in touch and use the Spitting Pig again! Thanks

The team hosted a fabulous hog roast for us at our wedding! Their communication was great before and in the lead up, the food was TOP DRAW and we are happily living off the left overs for the next few days. It was good value and would happily use them again for another event 🙂

From initial inquiry, to discussing menu options with the admin team, through to our catering manager Jon introducing himself then the party itself. It has been an absolute delight to work with Spitting Pig Yorkshire. Their efficient responses to queries and questions was excellent. Some of my requests meant adapting menu options to best support the theme of my 50th birthday party, this was all accommodated fully with great suggestions made that really helped decision making. The efficiency of the on site team on the day of the event was like a well oiled machine. Set up ahead of the party was swift and the team were helpful and courteous when dealing with questions. Clear up after the event too, was all dealt with by the team. Jon, our catering manager was a really warm and friendly guy, and it was a pleasure to have him and his amazing food as the centre to the event. Every single guest was totally blown away by the food and it was the biggest talking point for the rest of the evening of the party and afterwards. Please be assured… if you are contemplating appointing Spitting Pig Yorkshire as the caterer for your event you will not be disappointed! From the delicious slow roast pig to beautiful salads and sides. Absolute perfection! All served on lovely eco friendly wooden plates and cutlery, this really elevates the visual presentation too!. Oh… they don’t exclude any Vegetarian or Vegan guests amongst your party either. 15% of my guests were vegetarian or vegan and they all said how amazing the food was. To all the team at SPY… I can not thank you enough for the amazing, warm and friendly service and the outstanding food you all provided it literally was the best part of the party! If I ever have a similar event you’ll be my first point of call!
