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.
Style in Your Service with our
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.

EXCELLENT Based on 118 reviews Posted on David PerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Spitting Pig to cater for our daughter’s wedding and cannot praise them enough. Punctual, professional and delicious. Would heartily recommend this company to anyone looking for delicious food for an event.Posted on Samantha JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not recommend Spitting Pig enough to people! Absolutely fantastic and pure professionals. From the very beginning, with emailing the admin/sales team, everyone has been responsive, kind and quick to reply. When approaching the wedding, the chef contacted me and I had full confidence in him. He was easy to talk to, experienced and knowledgeable. On the day, the presentation of the food was one of the highlights of the day, the grazing table looked amazing. After that, we had a variety of meats and sides and it was all incredible. Will definitely find an excuse to use the spitting pig again. Team on the day were also extremely happy and friendly and kept food back for us (bride and groom)- I cannot thank them enough!Posted on Sofia MononenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spitting Pig provided our wedding food and we couldn't recommend them high enough! The food was incredible, and all our guest raved about it. The staff was lovely, and their understanding of allergies was brilliant. Thank you!Posted on Jenny PeachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute fantastic company. From the first enquiry to after the event. I could not fault them. Replied quickly and was so informative. The food was fabulous, plenty of it and cooked so well. The staff said it’s the best we’ve had. There was choice for all dietaries and when they said they can serve everyone quickly- they really did pull this out the bag which keeps staff even happier when they don’t have to queue for long periods. The choice of menu was great, lots of variety and accompanied by salads/ sauces etc. The staff on the day were so friendly and happy, it was a pleasure to meet Ben, Kerry and James they were lovely and so attentive! We will be looking forward to welcoming them back again in the near future!Posted on Lina VensloveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Machines
These machines allow us to create perfect roasts anywhere out on the road, and with their ease of set up we can continue to keep costs and scheduling issues down a minimum. We have the means to bring a team out to your event, set up our machine, and cook your roast dinner there and then for the freshest dining experience you will find just about anywhere.
It makes for a unique kind of dining experience for guests, and adds to the quality of every dish too since guests can se
e just how fresh their food is – sometimes coming straight from the pig still roasting on the spit straight to their plate. That’s a kind of style and flair in service that you just will not find with other caterers!
