Northern UK’s Best

Hog Roast Caterer

Experience the Best Hog Roast Catering in the Lake District for Weddings, Parties, and Special Events

We pride ourselves on being the finest hog and spit roast caterer in the Lake District, Cumbria and beyond. Over the years we have received countless compliments on our roasts, but the truth is you really will not know how exceptional they are until you try one. A Spitting Pig Hog Roast is not to be underestimated as it could very well be the best you have ever tasted.

My name is James and I am the owner of Spitting Pig Northern UK. As a family run business with nearly two decades of experience in the catering industry, we have built a reputation for excellence. You can be confident that when you choose us, your event is in safe and capable hands.

Here you will find all you need to know when it comes to booking your next event with us (either by phone or through our simple enquiry form online). Different from any other catering firms, we offer our clients something truly unique and memorable.

Growing in popularity and in size, our decades in the hog and spit roasting industry has been a voyage of discovery, as it has allowed us to cater at thousands of events across the region. Getting to know all the local suppliers and businesses, it has truly been a pleasurable experience indeed. By offering our unique style of event catering, which is the Hog Roast Ambleside whole roasted pigs and lambs done in front of you and your guests very eyes, we offer a restaurant beating cuisine experience at a fraction of the cost. We are very lucky to have a wealth of great local produce right on our doorstep.

A Warm Welcome

Every Time!

Having a catered event at home is a growing phenomenon across the Lake District. It allows people to have an event in the comfort of their own surroundings whilst avoiding ever increasing restaurant costs. Whilst many standard forms of catering providers seem to have stalled, we have certainly led from the front when it comes to cuisine; as the increased demand for freshly roasted meats and food in a rustic style has never been more popular than it is today. Through the increased awareness of food quality (arguably aided by the rise of the ‘Celebrity Chef’), our services have never been more in demand.

Our catering services naturally centre on having a hog roast in Keswick and the surrounding towns! You can choose from a whole variety of freshly and ethically sourced meats. Our whole pigs are a favourite, and their crackling is the golden, crispiest and most bubbly that you will taste. By choosing our whole spring lambs, you are entering a ‘foodie’ heaven – as the slow flame roasting process simply adds and adds to the melt-in-the-mouth effect which lamb has already in abundance. Particularly popular, the use of whole chickens and turkeys is a great crowd pleaser and can satisfy the masses with ease (our specially marinated chickens can be put onto our flame-roasting spits 35 at a time – a stunning spectacle indeed). Along with this, we roast loins of beef as and how you like it.

Whether it’s a garden party, wedding, birthday or just an excuse to get friends and family together, a proper good meal always makes the day feel special.

Here’s to longer evenings, warmer weather and plenty of great food this summer. 🌿

James catered for our wedding in Windermere. He was great – popping in the day before to discuss plans, and he worked around our schedule. The food was fantastic – above and beyond our expectations. Really well presented. Our guests have also commented how great it was. Very good value for money, and would totally recommend!

We hired The Spitting Pig for our small celebration of 30 years of marriage. They were great from start to finish. Communication was good. James & his nephew really helped make our evening go well. We had lots of compliments on the food. The service was great. James looked after everything from setting up, cooking & tidying away, leaving me & my husband free to enjoy our night. I can highly recommend them.
