DIY hog roast in Felden for Little Hay Golf Course.

We recently did a DIY hog roast in Felden, which is just down the road from us… So a nice local one. I might even try and sneak in a quick round of golf if the weather holds up!! Little Hay Golf Course have asked us to hire them our hog roast machine and provide the hog for an event they are holding this evening in their function room. If you’re looking for a nice venue to have a bit of a do in the Hertfordshire area, Little Hay golf course is a great place. It has a nice large function room and of course being set on a golf course is just perfect.

Quality is what Spitting Pig Hertfordshire thrive to achieve and are known for providing, whether we are hog roast catering for a private party in the comfort of your own back garden, providing hog roast wedding catering in a marquee in a field or as with today providing a DIY hog roast in Felden…. It’s all about providing quality products, service and value for money and making sure your hog roast party is the one people will be talking about for all the right reasons. The most important part first….. A fresh free range pig delivered straight to our unit by our local wholesale butcher, Derek Woods Assc, who are based in Hemel Hempstead. They provide local hotels, eateries, pubs and catering companies such as ourselves with the finest meats which are delivered daily from Smithfield Market. I am so happy with the products I receive from our butcher. The pigs as well as lamb, beef and chickens are of the highest standard and our sausages and burgers and other BBQ meats are just the best. So….. Our hogs are all around 45 – 50 kilos which I think is the optimum size for hog roast catering in Felden. The meat content and fat content are just about right to spit roast and produce the most tender and moist roast pork and produce the crispy golden crackling that we all just love!

Next is the hog roast machine. You’ve probably seen all shapes and sizes and probably some that resemble cut down oil barrels that would probably be better off still used for just storing oil. Our hog roast machines are the best on the market. Years of development and tried and tested and sure to not let you down. Our machines are shiny stainless steel and are delivered sparkling clean and above all in great working order. So you have a great machine and a delicious pig, ready to hog roast in Felden. All you need to do now is get cooking and this is where Spitting Pig Hertfordshire really do stand head, shoulders and trotters ahead of all other hog roast caterers in Hertfordshire.
We could simply turn up at your venue, drop off the pig, machine and gas and take your money… What could be easier and believe me we hear horror stories and know this does happen. We do things slightly different and that’s why we are invited back to so many venues to provide DIY hog roasts in Hertfordshire.

After your hog is delivered by Mike our butcher, I rack the hog on the spit pole and prepare ready for hog roasting in Felden. The pig will be scored and stored in our cold room ready for delivery. The machine is inspected, gas taps and injectors cleaned and fired up to make sure all is in good working order and the flames will burn hot and high so your hog roast in Feldenwill cook perfectly. We then make sure your DIY hog roast will be the wow factor of your day and get you off to a flying start…. We will take time to show you how to operate the machine correctly and safely and will talk you through the process of cooking your DIY hog roast, from placing the pig in the machine, lighting procedure and cooking, how to lift into the carving position and finally giving advice on carving and serving. There are a few things to watch out for while the hog is roasting for about five hours or so and we will make sure you know what to look out for….. Remember this is a huge lump of meat and as its spinning and slowly roasting, it is becoming more and more tender as it cooks through. We will make sure you are aware of any pit falls and how to deal with any problems and importantly how to rectify should a problem arise. We will leave you confident and ready to chef your hog roast in Felden so you and your guests have the perfect hog roast party.

We will also be happy to start the cooking process for you if times are suitable. I actually prefer to do this as I then can leave you knowing that you are in full control and confident your day is going to go well.  Finally we are local and only a phone call away should you need us in any way. The DIY hog roast is the perfect solution whether you are head chef at a country hotel, local pub or club and just need the machine and pig for your event or your hosting your own private garden party with friends and family and want to show off your cheffing skills on your special day. The DIY hog roast is a very cost effective and such a simple solution to feed your guests whatever the occasion…. Let Spitting Pig Hertfordshire help make your day one to remember for all the right reasons. After a demonstration and talking Afredo through the cooking procedure we lit the machine and sorted the necessary paper work before heading off for a meeting to discuss a hog roast wedding for next year.
We picked up the machine the following Monday, Alfredo had done a marvellous job cleaning the machine….. That’s all we really ask, is that the machine and equipment is returned clean and intact ready for collection. Alfredo said the whole day had been so successful and with our help and advice the DIY hog roast in Felden was just so simple and easy and the day was just perfect.
