Bovingdon, voted one of the most desirable towns to live in Hertfordshire has some great locations for wedding ceremonies. This summer we catered for Ollie and Louise who were celebrating their marriage. After canapés, Spitting Pig Hertfordshire provided a hog and lamb roast, followed by desserts and then teas and coffee. Later in the evening their guests were treated to a BBQ of burgers, sausages and vegetarian kebabs. Spitting Pig Hertfordshire not only provide hog roasts, but also beef, turkey, chickens and my favourite which is lamb roast. Our lamb as well as all our other meat is purchased from a local butchers. They are renowned for providing the finest quality meats in the area and in particular the lamb is about as good as it gets. Sam and Ruben (the butchers) rear their own lamb at their mother’s farm and depending on the season we use these delicious lambs for our lamb roasts.

The lamb roast is a tasty alternative to the hog roast and is ideal if you are a non pork eater or your numbers are around forty or fifty. Once stuffed with rosemary and garlic and slowly roasted for about four hours the tender and juicy lamb with mint sauce and red currant jelly served in a freshly baked bap served with a few of our freshly homemade salads and roasted new potatoes with rosemary and garlic will wow your guests in Ugley. Whatever your event or number of guests Spitting Pig Hertfordshire have the catering solution and will ensure your day is a day to remember for all the right reasons. The county of Hertfordshire is ideally located for commuters into the city and for many companies to have both head quarters and distribution centres due to the excellent rail, air and road links that bring the whole of the UK and Europe within easy reach.

Spitting Pig Hertfordshire cater all over Hertfordshire and there is nothing nicer than an afternoon in a country garden in such lovely villages as Ayot St Lawrence, Much and Little Hadham, Sandridge or the beautiful hamlet of ugley.

In June we were providing a hog roast near Tewin, and after we had set up the catering tent and tables and chairs that we had provided popped to the lovely nearby village of Burnham Green where we had a pub lunch before returning to freshly prepare the salads and new potatoes with herb butter which were being served with the hog and crispy crackling. Our waitresses were also serving canapés and champagne to the guests as they arrived and we also tended to the bar during the evening. The evening was rounded off by a performance by Dave from the legendry group Chas & Dave who was the next door neighbour of the hosts. If you are walking, cycling or just visiting Hertfordshire, villages and hamlets in the west of the county, such as Nettleden, Little and Great Gaddesden, are nestled away in the middle of the country side with splendid views over the Chilterns. Heading slightly further west is the hamlet of Aldbury, which is nestled alongside the Ashridge Estate, which is National Trust land and of exceptional beauty. Deer roam the open country side and the monument and centre can be visited while enjoying a picnic in the countryside. Whilst in Aldbury, catering for a wedding, we enjoyed a couple of hours of free time in the afternoon at the village fete which was set in the centre of the village by the pond. The Wedding was in the late afternoon and newly married Mrs Lemsford looked gorgeous in her white bridal gown. Our waitresses greeted the guests as they arrived with a glass of champagne and served canapés as the bride and groom were having some photographs taken. We then served the starter course which was either soup, Parma ham on a new potato salad or salmon.

The hog roast wedding feast was a hog and lamb roast with salads and roasted new potatoes which were cooked with rosemary and garlic. The dessert of cup cakes was supplied by our good friend Anita Pirton who lives in Hertingfordbury. The night was finished off with a live band and two of our waiting staff stayed on after we had left to help run the bar.
