About Us

About our Lake District

Hog Roast Catering Company

Based in the heart of the Lake District, Hog Roast Ambleside has been providing event catering and first-class hog roasts all over the Lakes. Providing first class hog roast catering using only the finest fresh local ingredients. This has enabled us to establish ourselves as one of the top catering companies in the Lake District.

This is probably a great opportunity for me to introduce myself to you, my name is James and I am the owner of Spitting Pig Northern UK. With nearly 2 decades of experience within the industry you can be sure that your catering is in safe hands with me! I have worked at numerous busy gastro pubs and hotels, starting as an apprentice a long time ago and working my way up to head chef. I then took the plunge a few years ago to take on my Hog Roast catering business and I haven’t looked back since.

We are a very close family run business that can provide you with a unique and delicious hog roast for as many or as few guests as you would like, low numbers is not a problem for us just as several hundred is not either. It really doesn’t matter how big or small you want your event to be, we will provide you wish the finest hog roast catering experience money can buy.

My passion for food and catering has been with me since a young age and isn’t something you ever lose, many of my customers have said that’s what makes us stand out – our true love for what we do. Happy customers means happy chef’s!
