As the region’s leading hog roast catering company, we get asked a lot of interesting questions. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or a big birthday bash, we know that finding the right caterer can be a bit overwhelming. To help you out, we’ve rounded up six of the most frequently asked questions we receive – and of course, our expert answers!
- What’s the difference between a hog roast and a spit roast?
Great question! While both involve slow-roasting meat to perfection, a hog roast typically means the pig is cooked in a roasting tray inside a large oven, whereas a spit roast involves skewering the pig on a spit or pole and turning it over an open flame. Both methods are mouthwatering – it’s just a matter of style (and spectacle)!
- Can I have a hog roast indoors?
Absolutely! While we love an outdoor event with the smell of roasting pork wafting through the breeze, Hog Roast Staithes is fully equipped to cook indoors too. Whether you’re hosting in a designated function hall or a grand marquee, we can make it work.
- Is Hog Roast Staithes environmentally friendly?
You bet! We’re all about great food with a clear conscience. That means sourcing locally to cut food miles, keeping waste to a minimum, and using eco-friendly bamboo cutlery and plates. Delicious and responsible? Win-win.
- What kind of events does Hog Roast Staithes cater?
Short answer? Everything. From weddings and birthdays to corporate gatherings and celebrations of life, we bring flavour and warmth to every kind of event. No occasion is too big – or too small – for us.
- Can you remove the head?
We get it – some people aren’t too keen on seeing a whole pig in all its glory. If that’s the case for your event, just let us know, and we’re more than happy to remove the head before cooking. We want your guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their meal without any distractions!
- Where is your meat from?
We take our meat sourcing seriously. All of our meat comes from top-notch, local farms. We partner with award-winning, free-range farms that provide us with the highest quality meat, ensuring every bite is fresh and bursting with natural flavour.
