So just what is hog roasting? Hog roasting is a much loved party or occasion where a large hog is slowly cooked on a spit, whole, over the course of a number of hours. Loved the world over, to the extent of predating the constructs of both nationality and ethnicity, hog roasting dates back hundreds of thousands of years and is popular to this day. Spit roasting is the method in which the hog is cooked, and isn’t exclusive to only pigs — Rotisserie, or Spit roasting, is a style of roasting meat in which the animal or cuts of meat are skewered on a spit(a long steel rod) and slowly cooked over a fire, or alternatively roasted in an oven. Many animals are typical for spit roasting, be it pigs, chickens, lambs or more rarely whole cattle! More recently, spit roasting is better known to many for cooking Doner kebabs at the local take away. Although the vertical spit used to cook doner meat is a little less common.

As one of, if not the biggest Newcastle hog roast caterers in the United Kingdom, we have developed several unique spit roasting machines — all of them are specially tailored and manufactured by us to ensure our service is the best quality it can possibly be. All of our machines are capable of cooking a wide range of animals, meat cuts and even non-meats. Let us tell you why spit roasting is such a special – superior to the rest, even – way to cook meats and cater for your event attendees. If you recall earlier we made mention of the global popularity of the spit roast and the way in which the meats are cooked? Well, we’ll go into a little more detail. Our spit roast machines slowly cook the meat of your choice over the flames, rotating the animal round and round to ensure a finished product that’s both tender and juicy. You see, as the hog, chickens etc slowly spin and roast, it promotes a self-basting process that sets the meat apart from the rest. There’s many ways to cook meat, and many of them see the produce lose their natural juices and often dry out, but with the self-basting process this doesn’t happen. With the animal constantly spinning, rather than losing that natural goodness, the juices are constantly re-entering the animal from the top down, preventing a loss of moisture and natural fat that’s ever so common when grilling or traditionally oven cooking. The end result is mouth wateringly tender meat with plenty of delicious crackling to go around. The food is as good as you’ll taste, outstanding even.

We value quality and go the whole hog with our catering service. Ethically and locally sourcing the best British produce on the market to compliment the quality of our machines and chefs, what you’re given is a service that sees most clients come back to us, time after time.

We began as a small catering business based in Yarm and used our years of experience in the industry to development a small, friendly hog roast catering team and started to cater for small parties and events in our home town. Our excellent reputation quickly spread and more people became interested in booking our hog roasts and barbecues for their special occasions.

Over time we started to expand taking on extra members to join the team. We trained them up to our high standards and shared with them our extensive knowledge of the hog roast catering industry so that we had a full team of highly qualified hog roasters. After this we began to venture into new areas and once again our reputation grew and grew until we were popular throughout the North East region. Like the river Tyne itself we also flowed through our homeland our popularity increasing more and more with every event.

Bound by ties as strong as that of the tightest family unit, we offer hog roast catering which is guaranteed to do more than please.

Having been born and raised in the friendly atmosphere of the North East, our management have more than just a business concern in this region. With a love for the area we come from, our mission at the start of our catering venture is echoed in our approach today; that of bringing sensational food to the people of the North East, a place which we feel is the embodiment of personality and spirit, irrespective of wealth, prosperity or the inadvertent lack of either of the above.

With a long family history set within the trade of catering, our decision to adopt the seeming stance of the sole respectable promoter of the hog roast as a crux of a precision catering service came from a chance experience whilst abroad. During a sabbatical, one of our head chefs found that the way in which the ‘ranchers’ of the North East slowly roasted their meat, even though the beef was relatively poorly seasoned, created a taste that was superb. Allowing the meat to cook slowly and in its own juices, the self basting nature of the spit roast facilitates a taste that can be found nowhere else.

Spit roasting is a wonderful way to cater for your old class mates and has been perfected over thousands - hundreds of thousands, even - of years. Cooking whole animals on a spit popped up around the same time as humans worked out how to create and control fire, a no nonsense approach to feeding communities and families, it spread like wild fire to all corners of the globe. Amazingly, it’s still a part of many nations culture and is a common sight in the holidays(Christmas, Easter, Bonfire Night etc), at BBQs and at food shows. Passed down generation to generation, it thrives in many countries because of not just heritage and culture, but most importantly because of the end product and delicious taste that the spit roast rewards you with. Free of the junk additives that come with most food, cooking a whole Middlesbrough hog roast is rewarding in more ways the one. Although spit roasting is usually restricted in most parts of the world to special occasions, for obvious reasons – Most people simply can’t afford to buy and cook whole animals for but a small family, it’s impractical. The holidays and special occasions - a high school reunion, for example – is when spit roasting really comes in to its own! If you’re feeding for a large number of people there isn’t anything quite as practical, wholesome, entertaining and mouth watering as hog roasting!

In a modern context, sure, it seemingly takes a long time. A large hog capable of feeding 300 hungry people takes 6 hours to roast in one of our patented hog roasting machines. However, another main aspect of our working ethos revolves around not rushing our food. Our lives, as a society as a whole, often hinges on haste. With many commitments, not least to the family and to our employers, our existence in terms of free time is often constricted by a lifestyle fraught with urgencies, which when we look with a degree of retrospect, may often be viewed as partially unnecessary. Therefore, when the people of both the region and the nation as a whole, we understand that the time spent having a hog function or event is to be enjoyed to the full. And this is what stands us apart form the rest.

Having attended catered functions, from wedding catered events, through to our annual Newcastle based football team gatherings, the food which greeted our plates was of a continually medium standard. Not bad but not too great. Time and time again this was the case. Loving our food, we knew that our hog roasts could drastically improve the quality of catered events, simply through the introduction of food that would melt the hearts of our clients as much as it excited our taste buds. No more had the people who gathered for a hog roast in Newcastle to put up with mediocrity that was the norm in terms of the standard of culinary fare that adorned their plates.

Having built and fostered wonderful relations with our regions excellent farming community, the quality of our produce in terms of organic and fresh produce is un-paralleled. Using only the most organic of meats, our creatures, reared locally, have been the recipients of numerous awards for their quality. Having seen and tasted, first hand, the difference between the standard of food gained from organic farming and that of mass produced and consumed food obtained from establishments such as supermarkets, we would never have dreamt of pursuing the avenue lined by the trees of second rate produce. Highlighting yet another of our central operating themes.

This is our belief in the importance of promoting the resurgence of the British farm. Contrary to the belief that many ill-informed people have, Britain has some of the finest natural ingredients available on this fair Earth. With the political shift that began decades ago, Britain has been slowly ceding its primary and secondary industries in favour of the arguably more profitable (yet, as recent events have shown, more dangerously volatile) tertiary, financial sector. The unfortunate victims, apart from our taste buds, have been the farmers who have, as an entity of their own, helped to maintain, preserve and protect the land which we all love. Through the zeitgeist which is 'globalisation,' an overwhelming amount of consumers followed the apparent mutually profitable concept of interlinked international trade.

Through this system, which was poorly thought out, Britain began the mass import of cheap edible goods, which although being cheaper, were of a much lower quality. As many of our farmers could not compete with such an influx of cheap produce, many of them went out of business. This situation existed within the sphere of arable goods, meats and practically all other elements of consumables in the country. Our stance, however, never shifted from buying organic and local. Admittedly the costs were higher, yet in reality the price of a hog roast catered event is much cheaper than the standard norm, as whole animals taste great, feed the masses and cost little to purchase when contrasted against the cost of buying individual cuts of meat for consumption.

Our vegetables reflect the same high and exacting standards visible with our meat products, as our vast network of British organic producers provide us with the vegetable equivalent of pure ecstasy (not the narcotic kind). Needing to be of exceptional quality, due to the fact that they are accompanying sensational meats, our vegetable menus have been the talk of the county for years.
Alongside our sensational hog roasts in Newcastle, which have incidentally also been the gracious recipients of numerous rewards, our clients are able to make use of our internationally acclaimed events management team. Due to our experience with A-list events organised through our Middlesbrough office, one of the jewels in the crown of our enterprise allows customers to enjoy their hog roast catered event, free from any stresses and woes.

Enjoy a lunch with our team whilst we discuss the finer details, then sit back and relax while our energetic team creates the event f your dreams. With not a single complaint in decades, you can rest assured that perfection is only a stones throw away; it's waiting at your next catered event. With so many positive testimonials, our qualified chefs are eager to make your event the best it can be.

In concurrent existence with our well known catering business resides our hog roast machine manufacturing trade. Borne through our need to roast our perfect ingredients perfectly, we embarked upon a quest for construction utopia many years ago. Centred on excellence, our history in the sphere of engineering allowed us to pursue a course of in-house design and construction. Completely obliterating the competition, our machines, through our use at our catered events, have become better and better and better. Benefiting from super high-tech techniques such as laser tooling and seam seal bonding, our tough and thick stainless steel machines make light work of heavy duty commercial hog roasting usage. With a years comprehensive and thorough manufacturers warranty from us, our fully CE marked spit roaster machines come ready fro action. Looking beautiful and packed full of features which have built up over our decades of trading experience, there is no finer catering based investment available on the market today.

We are based around Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Gateshead, Darlington, Durham, Morpeth, Yarm, Billingham, Saltburn, redcar, stockton on tees, Hexham and South shields, so why not come down and see our production facility? Take a stroll with our designers and technicians, we know that when you see excellence you'll be suitably impressed. Available as a hire option also, these machines provide the definitive solution to hog roast catered events. Through our own construction processes, and our subsequent large quantities of stock, this hire option allows our customers to get a real 'hands-on' approach towards the facet of home and commercial catering. Easy to use, a hog machine hire, through being cheaper than a catered event, provides everyone in the nation with the chance to get that great flame roasted taste, but for a fraction of the price. For just a single event, or for a longer period of time, the hire option is, quite rightly, becoming one of the more popular aspects of our trade.

Put simply, there is no taste quite like that of a hog roast. Set in tradition and combined with our contemporary menu options, our ability to provide top quality food to many people, irrespective of the remoteness of the location, is second to none. A step away from us is a step down. A step along the gilded hog roast pathway with us will bring you pure and unadulterated pleasure.
