About Us

About our Devon

Hog Roast Catering Company

You may know us as your local go-to hog roast caterers when it comes to celebrating a special occasion or planning a corporate event in and around Devon, but we’re actually much more than that. Did you know that we designed our own machines, which we also build ourselves?

Not only that but we also sell them and hire them out so you can have your own DIY hog or spit roast, whether you’re a professional chef or a domestic cook cooking for your friends and family at home. There’s more to Spitting Pig Devon than first meets the eye…

Spitting Pig

Quality Is Essential

When looking for caterers when you’re planning a party or event, you need to know that you’re in safe, capable, caring hands and that you and your guests will be served quality, tasty and yet affordable food from Hog Roast Devon. We are passionate about all of this, as we want our customers to feel that our food and service go hand-in-hand in these ways.

We ensure that the ingredients we use are high-quality and that’s why we use trusted suppliers, like with the meat that we source from local farmers and butchers. From the condiments that we use to the fresh salad leaves, we don’t skimp on quality because we know that it shows in the taste and we want everything to taste gorgeous. We wouldn’t serve food to you that we wouldn’t eat ourselves, and we’re a fussy lot here at Hog Roast Devon!

When we arrive at your Devon venue to do your catering (and that could be in your own back garden, the middle of a park, or a boutique hotel), that’s when we prepare the meat, so you know that it’s as fresh as possible.

Again, it’s all about the taste and nothing tastes better than meat that was only freshly-prepared right before it was cooked slowly and surely for several hours and then made its way to your plate as soon as possible after a quick rest. The tantalising smells of a hog or spit-roasted animal or bird that’s slow-roasted to perfection being carved straight onto your plate just can’t be beat.

 

Whether you’re planning a birthday party for 15 guests in Torquay, a wedding reception for 50 in Ilfracombe or a corporate event for hundreds of people in Plymouth, the Hog Roast Devon team can help you to make a great success out of any event you have in mind. We’ve catered school fêtes, engagement parties, baby showers, hen parties, wakes and so much more.

You may be thinking of an ultra-posh do with fine food and canapés and champers to start, or an informal gathering with just a handful of friends, but numbers and formality aren’t issues for us at all. No matter how many (or few), we will happily cater your event with the same lovely food and the same professionalism and dedication.

When it comes to the food itself, we have so many options that you won’t believe your eyes. We also encourage you to create your own menu or you can combine our menus too. It’s clear that hog roasts are our speciality but we also offer spit-roast chicken, turkey, lamb or beef (and if preferred, you can choose a more unusual meat for your event).

Our equipment is also capable of barbecuing food, so your guests could feast on our gourmet sausages, homemade burgers, and vegetable skewers. Our machines are so incredibly versatile that we can even cook you a pizza! Plus we also offer many options for guests with dietary needs, whether that’s vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or otherwise, as we want every single one of our guests to enjoy our Hog Roast Devon food.

English company operating as Spitting Pig Northern Ireland, after agreeing a menu and date was sent an invoice that very day demanding payment of nearly £2000 the next day without a phone call or any contact to reassure we where happy with everything. Have had daily emails looking payment of the deposit which is non refundable even if the company are unable to fulfil the contract for what ever reason. A quick search has shown a dissolvement of this company and change of business names over the years leaving us with no confidence in paying such a large amount at this early stage. What was meant to be a happy and exciting time has turned immediately into a business agreement without negotiating any terms, totally unprofessional horrible experience with hard sales type personnel and not the warm reassuring friendly experience that would be expected for planning a wedding in Northern Ireland. Will be going else where.

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!

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!

What an amazing experience! A Gourmet BBQ to remember on our wedding day. Such great help from Kate at the start to help us decide what food to choose for our wedding day. From then Ria and Paul made contact with us to work out all the precise details for the day. We were absolutely thrilled with the food we had on Saturday and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. We would definately reccomend to anyone!!!! Thank you so much for everything!

Our pre-wedding hog roast dinner at Euridge Manor, catered by Spitting Pig, was a great addition to our wedding weekend festivities! The food was incredible—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and plentiful. There was so much left over that we were able to enjoy it as a post-wedding midnight snack the following day, which was a real treat.

The chef was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience even better. His expertise really shone through in the quality of the roast, and he was a pleasure to have around. The presentation was spot-on, with a wide range of delicious additions to customize each plate. Even our dogs couldn’t stop staring, eagerly waiting for their portion!

Spitting Pig exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service.

To be honest, I don’t know where to start! Firstly, the customer service we received from booking them, all the way through to the actual event was really great, helpful with all my questions and were in contact to ensure all was going to plan. They turned up when expected and were really friendly and just got on with setting up happily. We ordered a hog roast with stuffing and a vegan option of halloumi and veg skewers, with sweet potato fries and salad/coleslaw as a side for 100 people … it was absolutely incredible, I cannot even begin to describe how good, everyone kept coming up to me saying how amazing it was. The staff happily left us the remainder of the food that wasn’t consumed and this was gone pretty much within the hour after the staff left the event as people just couldn’t get enough of it! On top of that, the staff were so great, happily chatting away to us and overall just had a really good vibe! I will happily be recommending Spitting Pig to anyone that needs catering!

The team catered for 40 with minimum fuss and followed all special requests. The team were great and even more importantly the food was amazing and we had enough left over for seconds for the day after. Great service and I would definitely use the team again.

They were great. A really professional outfit, and very passionate about their food and service. I really cannot recommend them highly enough to do justice to their performance at my 50th birthday party.
We were worried that for a smart black tie event that they would not be the right thing, but they were wonderful. They were invariably professional, well organised, accommodating and efficient people with which to deal. The pork itself was juicy and really delicious – cooked for hours – they had woken at 4am to have it ready for 8:30pm but the crackling was what attracted the highest praise. The sides and salads were all great too – and they served my birthday cake with their usual efficiency. They seemed to be a really well run and friendly team of people too, if only more businesses were like them.
