The New Look

As you can see the Hog Roast Caterer have updated their website, I’m sure you will agree it looks much nicer and more professional which will attract more customers to have a browse of the website. In all fairness we did have some complaints about the website saying it looked bland and all sorts yet we did have the odd few who loved it’s originality and how everything were set out. But I’m afraid for them odd few it had to be changed. We will miss the old website which has done so well for us yet we always look on improving anything and everything we can and do and hope this new vitalized website will please old and new customers who want to find that hog roast company that will roast up a feast for them and their family and friends.

Instantly you can see more pictures have been put up, showing off the food and hog roasting events. This is key since people visiting the website for the first time and most probably booking a hog roast for the first time can instantly see what we are about and what a hog roast looks like. This will draw customers into booking with us which is great since we can provide them with excellent service which will want them to book us again and again. We also have a gallery so you can look through that and look through what you could experience with your event, be warned pictures could make your mouth water.

Updating a website you add all new things, we have also updated the old, we have updated some menus that may tickle your fancy and FAQs if you have some questions that need answering plus you could always call up we are here to help or give us a quick email or enquiry.

We also have a new logo which we think looks rather dandy and slick; it works well with the black, we believe the colour scheme is really good. Making the website fresh and new yet we still providing the vital details needed and wanted by you the customers.

We hope this will please all those customers we disliked and despised the old website and colour scheme. Inspiring more people to enquire for us to cater for them and improve sales of hog roast machines. We hope we get all good feedback from our website from now on.

Our Fine Hog Roasts

With this weather being crazy, one minute its sunny then it is pouring with rain you can never be sure on what to do, go out in the sun and chill until it rains and make a dash back inside, have a BBQ in the sun until it pours with rain. Well why not get a Hog Roast from us it will surely tingle your taste buds whatever the weather. Whether it is pouring down with rain or the sun is shining brightly we always use our gazebos to block out rain or shine. This is a great way of keeping guests dry or the sun out of their eyes. One of the best things about a hog roast is visually seeing it being roasted or spit roasted and if you are blinded by the light you will not be able to see the visual effect or maybe when receiving the food not being able to see what you want or how neatly everything is placed would be a real shame, so that is why we have gazebos every event we go to, plus you don’t want to be sitting eating you food and being covered in rain now would you?

One event we went to was a family gathering where they wanted a Hog Roast in a Bun Menu (Party Menu 1) it was sunny at first but mid way through the rain started to bucket down. Luckily we had some gazebos set up to cover the sun that a minute was shining on the hog roast event. It didn’t damper the family sprit or how much they enjoyed the food, maybe then enjoyed the food that little bit more, since the hot hog roast warmed up their bellies and themselves, plus watching the hog slowly roast warms you up since the machine was lovely and hot. Most of the family gathered around the hog roast watching and waiting, wanting it to hurry up and be finished, eventually we started to serve the hog to much of the delight from all the guests. We quickly and efficiently dished out the hog in a bun to all the family and some of their friends. Seeing the delight and amazement in their faces when took the first bite into the bun, was a sure happy site to see.

We love hog roasting in our passion, we have been doing this for many years now and are very experienced we may even be the most experienced hog roast catering business out there.

We love hog roasting in the Sun because it is perfect roasting weather just a like it is perfect BBQ weather, chill in the sun as the hog beautiful roasts away turning golden and taste truly out of this world.

We have been selling and hiring out our hog roasting machine to those people who want to take up the rains and become a hog roast chef for the day or become a hog roasting chef forever. We feel out hire service gives invaluable experience and really does help in deciding whether to buy a hog roasting machine or not to buy. We have hired out thousands of hog roasting machines and thousands have come back complementing and wanting to buy it and have bought it outright. This service is very popular and it very popular with businesses and pubs who are looking for that little thing to spice up the original and tedious routine. They have introduced the hog roasting machine and it has lightened up the place due to its amazing results and visual effect. You can just imagine a pub and hog roast go perfect together. So after trying it for a week or so many pubs, restaurants and business have bought one outright.

You might be thinking of so it’s only good for businesses, pubs and restaurants, in all honesty that is not true, you can buy or hire one for home use. If you and your family are bored of the same old meals being cooked day in and day out a hog roast is a massive change, this will defiantly send your family in spin. A hog roast tastes so remarkable and it will change the way you cook forever. You will begin to roast different meats and throw in some potatoes and vegetables in too.

Hog Roasting Birthday Party

Serving Station

Hog Roast Caterer catered all over the British Isles this weekend from; Southend-On-Sea to Inverness. We cater for anywhere in the UK. So when we had an event in Nelson we were thrilled since that is where the head office is.

We had to cater for a lovely family in Nelson, birthday party for 50 people. They opted for Party Menu 2, Spit Roasted Chicken; Local, Roasted Whole over dancing flames which is served with Piping Hot Delicious Stuffing. Doesn’t that sound amazing, image what it tasted like. That’s exactly what the family thought and decided they had to get a taste since just reading it made their mouths water.

We set up in their lovely back garden which was perfect since it was a lovely sunny day, a hog roast works really well in a hot sunny day yet it works just as well when its winter since a hog roast is a nice winter warmer, filling you belly with hot delicious meat. We first set up our hog roasting machine which roasts the meat perfectly yet it takes a couple of hours to roast to perfection, next we put up our tables with table cloths, napkins and cutlery, then we set up serving station with a gazebo shading the service station so the people getting their food can actually see what they are receiving instead of being blinded by the lovely sunshine. We carved and butter our soft rolls so the guests could put some of the roasted chicken into a bun to make a delicious chicken sandwich, after we put two bowls of fresh piping hot stuffing on the serving station ready to be placed on the plates.

After a bouncingly good time on the trampoline and gaming inside the children were coated outside for dinner. The parents and our chefs helped the children though picking what they wanted, then after the kids were settled the family where 3 generations were gathered all to enjoy a wonderful birthday party, came up received their plate and sat down. The look on their faces was pure delight as the roast chicken was neatly placed with the stuffing beside with one or two rolls on the side. It wasn’t before long the guests were coming up for more of our amazing spit roasted chicken and stuffing.

Nearing the end we placed what was left of the chicken on a planter and began to pack up, before we left we got a big thank you from all the children as well as the family. We love catering for lovely family and make their day extra special with something we love doing.

Two Heart Warming Events

The weather was wild yesterday and so were the calls for a hog roast, I didn’t think they were ever going stop. We had a big corporate day to attend to, which we hosted for up to 300 people. It was for our delicious Corporate Hospitality Menu 1 which is; Spit Roasted Pig with Apple Sauce, Stuffing, Crispy Crackling as well plus they will be served Crusty Bread Rolls. I think it is one of our most used menus due to the fact it is simple yet so amazing.

As per we set up really early so we can prepare everything for the arrival of guests and the pig will be cooked at the specific time the customer has said. We always prepare the fresh apple sauce and stuffing before we leave for an event so we can just put it on the serving station and serve away. Everything is ready quick, it just the pig that takes 6 hours to cook and to be cooked to perfection.

Once everything were ready to serve we commenced cutting the meat into pieces to fit scrumptiously in the soft bread rolls, then we would drizzle some apple sauce on a plate or on the meat in a bun, place some stuffing on the plate with a chuck of crispy golden crackling, served with a smile. The corporate doo was a huge success, just like all our other events we host and cater for.

Another successful event we had over the weekend was a bright and vibrant birthday party. We Party Menu 4 with both Spit Roasted Pig with Apple Sauce, Stuffing and Crispy Crackling and Spit Roasted Chicken served with Sage & Onion Stuffing which will be complemented with Bread Rolls and Selection of Sauces, Salad, a Potato Option which they chose Warm New Potatoes in Herb Butter. The food were cooked amazingly and it was matched by the bouncy castle and paddling pool in the garden where we were serving, the children had great fun, then when they were all tired out we begun serving. All the kids were so polite, thanking us for serving the food for them. All of them enjoyed the food and so did the parents, after the meal we cut up the rest of the meat and put it on a platter with some breaded rolls , it wasn’t long before parents who were coming to collect their children were digging into it.

Two different experiences and both left us feeling heart warmed and ecstatic, that the day was more enjoyable and perfect for the customers.

Here at Hog Roast Caterer

Hog Roast Caterer is really hoping the sun will come out shine once again and I am sure you all want it to come out from behind the clouds and show its wonderful face. The weather was truly amazing a few days ago it has left us wondering where it has disappeared to. Hopefully the sun will come out and we will have more happy customers. Even though the sun is not shining we are still getting a mass of bookings from all over the UK. It seems nothing dampers the English spirit when it comes to catering. A hog roast is amazing in any weather due to the fact you can have it indoors when it’s pouring with rain or under our great gazebos or when the sun is shining on the beautiful hog which is sizzling and roasting away. We have catered in all sorts of weather and the results have all been outstanding plus the customers have been very pleased with the results and the weather has not put a damper on the day which is great since a little or a lot of rain should but a downer on an excellent experience.

Our chefs have been getting ready and preparing for the upcoming events this Easter, Diamond Jubilee and summer. People have been going crazy to place their booking for the Diamond Jubilee which is a rather long time away but to get your place you have got to be quick and that is what some people have taken into consideration and have booked months earlier to secure a place. You may think it is crazy to book something which is 3 months away but we have had bookings that will take place in 2013. Some customers think into the future and to defiantly get that place they have booked it in year or even years to come. Some customers enjoyed an event we have done for them before they book us in for next year and make it a yearly thing. Or it could be for someone’s birthday party they may book us in every year. Customers love our service and our food that much they thinking of us for future events.

We love being booked again and again for the same person’s events due to the fact we can build up a healthy customer relationship with them and build on that time and time again.

Wonderful Weekend

Fabulous weekend we had at Hog Roast Cater, many smiling faces and full bellies. This weekend was rather a busy weekend for Hog Roast Caterer; we had a birthday party to attend to in Bristol, a wedding in Torquay, as well as other glorious events.

The Bristol Birthday party was enjoyed by all especially the birthday boy, his parents rang us up because they had loads of their son’s friends over and wanted to keep an eye on them and not have to worry about the food getting burnt. They heard about us from a friend, just like their friend they were delighted with the outcome. They wanted our Menu1: Spit Roasted Pig served with Apple Sauce, Sage and Onion Stuffing & Crispy Crackling served with Soft Floured Rolls. Which everyone thoroughly enjoyed and loved the food. Even the parents who came to pick up their children has some and loved every bit of it and enquired if we could do it for their kids party. The party was a huge success for us and for the Bristol birthday boy.

We travelled to Torquay, we got to the wedding nice and early and began arranging the tables and chairs, knifes forks and napkins. We set it all out beautifully and set up our grand hog roasting machines and started roasting. We was roasting two pigs one being spit roasted and another being hog roasted and we had another machine with chicken spit attachment holding 30 chickens. As the wedding guests and bride and groom came out of the wedding service they were amazed as to what was before them. Our Chefs could hear comments like wow that looks amazing and mmm that looks really tasty. We waited for a minute or two then began to carve up the meat on the spit roasted pig as the other chef started to cut up the chickens. Once the meat was on the plate we added some beautifully cooked Warm New Potatoes in Herb Butter plus with our freshly made salads. We was greatly complemented on the dish, the bride and groom want us for another event to try some of our other dishes on the menu, or even try some of our delightful canapés and scrumptious desserts.

Here at Hog Roast Caterer we love it when our customers are thrilled with the food and service, at the end of the day it is your special day and we want it to be special plus make it extra special.
