A Warm Welcome

Every Time!

Hog roasting is a traditional way of cooking meat in different counties all over the world and has been around for quite a number of years. Catering at events over the last eighteen years in Cambridge, Newmarket and Huntingdon and the surrounding areas has gone way over our expectations, as the popularity and demand for a hog roast at events such as weddings, birthday parties, christenings, schools and other corporate events seems to be at its highest yet, even in the winter months it seems that everyone is spreading the word as we are a highly respected and popular provider of hog roasts.

With the over eight years experience that we have of carrying on the tradition of hog roast cambridgeshire across the Cambridge, Newmarket and Huntingdon area, we are able to bring a first class professional service to all of our clients at each and every event that we cater at. Hog Roasting has not been around for this many years for any old reason there is something quite show stopping about the sight and smell of the pig slowly cooking to perfection on our machines, which is certainly one of the reasons why our clients keep coming back to us year after year to book us for there upcoming events, many businesses use us for office parties and book us early every year for their Christmas lunch because at Christmas time we become very busy indeed.

The machines we use to cook our pigs on are sleek, sophisticated and top of the range this is so that we can bring the people in the Cambridge area the same traditional experience of watching the meat cook for an unbeatable experience leaving their guests will something spectacular to talk about. Here at Spitting Pig Cambridge we understand that organising an event isn’t the easiest task and when striving for perfection it is often difficult to ensure that every aspect is problem free.

No matter how big or small the event is we never let our standards falter and will go above and beyond to give you the stress free service that you deserve. Our expert team arrive on site with plenty of time to make all the preparations so that when it’s finally time to eat the whole service runs smoothly.

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.

All guests (including vegan and gluten free) delighted by your catering at our 90 person wedding. As well as delicious food, the team was lovely and set up without any fuss, and even came round to tidy guests’ plates afterwards (which we weren’t expecting). Brilliant service, very reasonable price for all we received (including leftovers!).
Clear communication before, during and after the event.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Spitting Pig Yorkshire.

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!

Thank you for providing your hog roast for our corporate family day event. The Spitting Pig team were fantastic, they arrived at the expected time to set up, they were ready to serve at the start of the party, everyone commented how good the pulled pork sandwiches & wraps were, the grilled halloumi vegetarian option also went down a treat. Jon & Luke did a sterling job, were very friendly and cleared away at the end, leaving us left over pulled pork for our team to enjoy in sandwiches today, which has gone down an extra treat for a Monday! We will definitely be in touch and use the Spitting Pig again! Thanks

From initial inquiry, to discussing menu options with the admin team, through to our catering manager Jon introducing himself then the party itself. It has been an absolute delight to work with Spitting Pig Yorkshire. Their efficient responses to queries and questions was excellent. Some of my requests meant adapting menu options to best support the theme of my 50th birthday party, this was all accommodated fully with great suggestions made that really helped decision making. The efficiency of the on site team on the day of the event was like a well oiled machine. Set up ahead of the party was swift and the team were helpful and courteous when dealing with questions. Clear up after the event too, was all dealt with by the team. Jon, our catering manager was a really warm and friendly guy, and it was a pleasure to have him and his amazing food as the centre to the event. Every single guest was totally blown away by the food and it was the biggest talking point for the rest of the evening of the party and afterwards. Please be assured… if you are contemplating appointing Spitting Pig Yorkshire as the caterer for your event you will not be disappointed! From the delicious slow roast pig to beautiful salads and sides. Absolute perfection! All served on lovely eco friendly wooden plates and cutlery, this really elevates the visual presentation too!. Oh… they don’t exclude any Vegetarian or Vegan guests amongst your party either. 15% of my guests were vegetarian or vegan and they all said how amazing the food was. To all the team at SPY… I can not thank you enough for the amazing, warm and friendly service and the outstanding food you all provided it literally was the best part of the party! If I ever have a similar event you’ll be my first point of call!

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.

Lots of our loyal, regular customers are based there so its always nice to go back and help them host their family parties, wedding celebrations and business events.

The cathedral city of Ely may be one of the smallest in England but its still bursting with activity and always provides us hog roasters with many parties and annual events for us to cater at. For example the Aqua fest, which has been held every year for the past thirty three years, the annual fireworks display in Ely Park and of course not forgetting The Ely Folk Festival.
