Hog Roast, Hog Roast Caterer, Pig Roast, Hog Roasts, Hog Roasting

Catering for events across the country has allowed us to widen our knowledge of the great Scotland that we live and work in. We have been working in partnership with some of Scotlands leading event organisers doing hog roasts in places such as a hog roast in Edinburgh, a hog roast in Glasgow, a hog roast in Dumfries, a hog roast in Paisley and even a hog roast in Dundee which has really allowed us to develop as a business. The more events that we cater for the better we become at understanding what people are looking for when hiring outside catering. Every event has thrown up a different challenge for our team of planners and chefs but have come through them all with flying colours and ultimately a better catering company. It doesn’t matter what hog roast event we cater for we treat each one with the same amount of respect and put in the same amount of time and effort. There is no reason for us to treat one event different from another. Maintaining exceptional high standards for each individual event ensures that we maintain and enhance our glowing reputation throughout the country. We make sure that everything from the locally sourced meat that we use to the disposable napkins that we supply are the best around. We leave no stone unturned when catering for your event which makes us one of the most complete catering solutions around. Meeting your specific needs and making sure that you are happy is our primary concern. One of our event planners will be assigned to your function from the first time you enquire about the services we offer.

These planners will go through the entire planning process with you and ensure that we provide everything that you want and/or need. For example we have great choice of menus ranging from Edinburgh hog roast party menus to Dundee hog roast weddings and Glasgow hog roast corporate ones. These menus may seem like they are set in stone but the actually aren’t. If you like the look of one menu but think it needs a few things adding to it then we are more than willing to that for you. The customisation of our menus is possible in order for us to meet your specific needs. If you want something changing or you are not happy with a particular aspect of the food then let us know and we will do everything we can to ensure that you are pleased with the service we are providing. We go by the common saying that the customer is always right. You are paying us for a service and it is our duty to ensure that you are 100 percent happy with every aspect of your event.

One common assumption when you think of Dumfries hog roast catering is that only pork can be cooked on our machines. This isn’t the case and we can actually cook whatever meat you request. Our state of the art machines allow us to cook any meat to melt in the mouth perfection. Whether you are looking for a hot buffet with a selection of meats or want to cook a roast beef dinner for the family our machines do it all. The Paisley hog roast machines along with our qualified chefs know just how to cook different types of meat to perfection. We feel that one of the key aspects of making good high quality food is making sure that everything is fresh. Attempting to locally source our meat is one of the best ways of ensuring that everything is fresh. Scotland has some great local butchers that we look to when sourcing our meat. Along with making sure that the food is locally sourced we also cook the meat on the day of your event. On average a hog roast takes about six hours to cook. This means our professional chefs arrive at your a long time before it begins to make sure that the meat is cooked properly. One of the best things about having hog roast catering is the sight and smell of it. The food is not cooked in a kitchen then brought out to the guests; it is cooked right there in front of everyone. Being able to see and smell your food cooking is unique selling point that sets us apart from the rest of the crowd and also really whets the appetites of all your guests. For years we have been trying to create the ultimate catering company. We have challenged ourselves all around the country and eventually become one of the finest caterers available on the market today. Our past experiences have made us understand the way the industry operates and we are now a better catering company for it.  

The historic nation of Scotland is the proud home of the United Kingdoms leading hog roast catered event provider. Thrilled to be able to deliver our services to the far reaches of what many see as the most beautiful country in Europe (with glorious places such as the Highlands National Park), it is with pleasure and pride that we show our customers, event after event, that our food and service can more than match the majestic surroundings. With a continual emphases on freshness in our produce, innovation in our technical development and friendliness in our impeccable service, we are all confident here at Spitting Pig Scotland, that your first contact with us will be the first step in a long, illustrious and friendly relationship.

Our direction into hog roast catering services was inspired by our own love of meat roasted slowly. Lucky enough to live in the heart of Scotland near Dumfries, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paisley and Dundee , our very high level culinary history was more than ample a launch pad in terms of being able to source ingredients locally. Having seen many restaurants come and go simply due to the fact that they were using second-rate ingredients, for many years our unflinching stance in terms of the most organic and fresh ingredients not only gave us a huge head start, but also gave our  highly trained and skilled chefs the confidence to try new directions with our ingredients. Having such elements as locally reared Aberdeen Angus cattle, the finest of spring lamb and poultry to die for, gaining wonderful supplies of meat products really allowed us to wow the crowds. Along with this, fish based ingredients, such as North Sea Halibut from Peterhead, Scallops and Razorfish from Dornie (situated next to the stunning and ancient Eilean Donan Castle) and the subtle yet powerful smoked salmon from Loch Fyne, all allowed us to create exceptionally comprehensive menus that were able to show off our country’s produce.

After all, why should our North Sea Langoustines be sent to the Meditterranean? Side by side with our meat and fish, the vegetables that we place on our menus are a further extension of our ethos centring on ‘local, fresh and therefore tasty.’ Combined, our menus when physically created for our customers have always been a resounding success.

Historically, we were always continually disappointed with large scale catering, from wedding catered events in the West End of Aberdeen, through to high volume barbecue inspired haute cuisine at Glamis Castle, Perthshire. It was not only us as visitors and guests that were perpetually let down by the lack of culinary brilliance. And let’s be fair, when the men are in Kilts, the women beautifully dressed, all set against a backdrop of the various Scottish landscapes, why should the food not match the company of the people and the backdrop of the Scotland which we love?

Our hog roast catering approach towards wedding catering, barbecue catering and all other aspects of food preparation en masse, stands apart from our competitors in more ways than shown here. Believing in the fact that the finest ingredients have more than sufficient voice in terms of audible quality to the client whilst eating, to sit on such quality of ingredient without the continual desire to improve its preparation would be, in our opinion, an insult to both our clients and our ingredients.

Our hog roast centred catered functions in Castle Douglas, Dalbeattie, Kirkcudbright, Kilmarnock and Ayr, thus, benefit from our hard earned and cumulatively gleaned experience in the sphere of preparation; the flair and passion our chefs put into seasonings, cooking styles, variety of inputs and marinades keeps us far out ahead in the forefront of event catering.

Running concurrently with, and seamlessly to, our award winning food preparation and its subsequent artistic display, is our dynamic team of event managers and co-ordinators. As a fundamental and smoothly functioning aspect of our thoroughly comprehensive catering experience, having the ability to cater for customers needs outside, before and after the function or event, is imperative to us. This has been of immense value to our clients, whom very often become our friends. Making a function memorable involves a lot more than just pristine food. With their desire to take all the anxiety and stresses out of the catering aspect of our clients events organisation, our team relishes the opportunity to smooth out any problems that are often associated with service structure, timings and the particulars which separate a mere ‘good’ event from the ‘finest.’

Throughout our history as the premier hog roast service provider in the United Kingdom as a whole, the need to supply the highest quality of spit roast centred food for large numbers of people, at events in remote locations that were both of an outdoor and indoor nature, was hindered by the critically apparent lack of adequate machine technology on the available market. With simple problems such as no available spit roasting machine having a sealed base in order to inadvertent leakages, our ability to effectively cater for indoor events at places such as the North Room of Gordonstoun School for governors, was impossible. Other ridiculous machine problems included rapid rusting, lack of mobility, blatant ugliness and emissions which had the potential to harm. Thus, due to our attitude to never flinch from a challenge worth rising to, we undertook a process of hog roast machine manufacture. Drawing on the skills of our nations engineering graduates and artistic designers, our twenty years in the construction vein allowed us to create a hog roaster and spit roast machine which vastly outperformed any competitors.

Conscious of our need to adhere to stunning design, in order to showcase the true visual potential that slow roasting of whole hog roast Scotland animals provides, the design team insisted, quite rightly, that although function was paramount, it was a pointless venture to create a hog roaster which, although performed like the true demon that it was, also shared the aesthetic guise of monolithic beast. To defeat this situation of function versus design, it was imperative that a new relationship regarding these two competitors be devised. Where we had successfully forged relationships between the unlikely bedfellows of ‘quality’ and ‘quantity’ (in our superb food and our ability to deliver to huge amounts of eager guests), it was of the highest importance that we recreate this dynamic with the two ingredients, ‘function’ and ‘design.’ Drawing on ultra-modern techniques in the field of laser technology, we were able to fuse the superbly tough nature of thick, brushed stainless steel with the impressive and demanding design criteria that our designers demanded to have retained in the final line of products. Through laser tooling and seam sealed bonding techniques, our line of machines exists today as the accumulation of extensive catering experience from A-list events through to informal gatherings.

The necessity for these hog roast machines to succeed was huge, as for over fifteen years we have successfully utilised them ourselves within the Hog Roast Glasgow functions of which we catered for. The full CE marking and necessary hog roast Scotland certificates show the client that we know our trade as regards manufacture. However, the British designed and built machines comprehensively outstrip the mere necessary requirements of such certification. Available to buy, each of our machines in the range aims to reflect the budget of our customer whilst exceeding their requirements considerably. Fell free to come along to our manufacturing showroom and have a look at the machines I their various stages of production. As a catering investment, look no further. As a product representing design quality and sheer performance, do the same.

Through our ‘home-grown’ hog roast machine production and manufacture, we emphasise further our commitment to choice for our customers through the offer of a hire option. Available for single events or for significant lengths of time, our hog roaster machines allow the client a chance to ‘take the reigns’ so to speak. Apart from being great fun this option is very reasonable economically, allowing all of our countrymen to get that great hog roast taste for a price that all can afford.  Witness for yourself the pleasure in the eyes of your guests as your hog roasts in Edinburgh slowly, basting in its natural juices. See how the crackling approaches fruition, then taste the wonder.

For many years now, we have led the field in event catering. With a portfolio that includes some of the most illustrious events in Scotland, we believe that to cater for your event, wherever you are, would be a good choice on your behalf.

Having our roots firmly in the soil of Scotland, our time catering for this country’s people, from events in the Cairngorms, functions in on the West Coast and parties on the Royal Mile, has been part of a fantastic journey. Meeting people along the way has not only helped us to improve at every step, but has also helped us to foster our love for bringing food of simply the highest quality to the plates of those whom we serve.

Our journey along the ‘high road’ of success has seen many of our competitors take the ‘low road’ of failure. Come with us on our travels, it’s a hog roast voyage of delight and taste.
