Hog Roast Cambridge

The City of Cambridge in East Anglia is renowned for several things, mainly the world famous University which was founded here in 1209 and is regularly ranked in the top five educational establishments on the planet. With a population of over 110,000 residents more than 23,000 of these are students, this is a real coup for the hog roast Cambridge company ‘Chef and Griddle’ which we started several years ago and we have seen go from strength to strength.

As with the great age of the University of Cambridge hog and spit roasts in general have been in existence since medieval times which encompasses the 5th to the 15th Centuries in Europe and would have been regularly enjoyed by the Vikings when they invaded the city and created a significant trading centre in the settlement.

Using this vast history and knowledge of the hog roast Cambridge we have developed our business to cater for all manner of proceedings and parties such as fetes, birthdays, festivals and charity events. No group of revellers is too big or too small and the spit roasting machines can be utilised to roast various locally obtained meats and can even be transformed into a huge BBQ and sausages, burgers, chops and kebabs can be supplied, perfect for those summer months. The options are available to either hog roast hire Cambridge just the spit machine itself for a day and night or even the weekend and the cost includes the gas and a well trained expert member of our team to show you how to produce perfect finger licking pork which your guests will be talking about for months.

One thing that is often said about catering food is that it is bland and boring, unimaginative and just a little bit too safe. In its defence, it can be difficult to know what some people do like and don’t like, so some would argue that going down the safe route is a good compromise. However, what you gain from safety wise, you lose out on taste wise. Just ask anyone who has been to a hog roast Cambridge event recently and they will tell you why they believe that roasted pig really is an example of what can be so great about catering for a larger group of people.

Some may think of hog roast as a little elitist and back in its formative days, that may well have been the case but times have moved on and a hog roast can now be enjoyed by everyone. Just ask students from Cambridge who may have had a chance to tu8ck into a delicious hog roast during their freshers week. In a way, hog roast is a real chameleon of the catering world as it seems to be suited to almost any sort of event, regardless of what is involved. Take a freshers week event for example. Hog roast maybe a quality meat but that does not mean it has to be reserved for ‘posh’ occasions in Cambridge. Some people would say that one of the greatest delights and treats in life is a great pint of real ale or real cider and a steaming hot hog roast roll loaded with sauce and crackling. That is enough to pass any taste exam! But hog roast has a far more cultured side that the lecturers would be far happier to see at any important function. Gourmet hog roast sees roasted pig swap jeans and hoodies for gowns and mortar boards and gracing the plates in a very sophisticated manner indeed, finely carved an served like the most perfect roast dinner alongside vegetables and potatoes. The same incredible taste yet two very different presentations. Both worthy of a commendation we feel and a perfect example of why hog roast is a rising star.
