It is of little surprise that many people in the region of North Yorkshire love nothing more than having a hog or spit roast catered event. As the act and deed of roasting a hog or any animal over flames on a rotating spit is the oldest and most traditional method of meat roasting and preparation – so too is the region of North Yorkshire steeped in history of its own. North Yorkshire is the oldest and largest of the ceremonial counties in Great Britain, at 8,654 square Kilometres. With the regions natural link to things steeped in heritage and history, the hog and spit roast go 'hand-in-glove' with both the people of the regions love for the clasic, as well as their high expectations in the field of the culinary. This is clearly illustrated in the land and the topographical landscape which comprises and surrounds the North Yorkshire region. From the highest point of Whernside the visitor to the area or the native can look about at the rolling landscape which presents itself. Covered in rolling hills and flowing dales, the North Yorkshire area has two of only eleven geographical areas which are named as National Parks.
As you can imagine, the pursuit of farming as a means of gaining and maintaining livelihoods for the inhabitants of the area is very popular indeed – illustrated in the many tens of Sheep breeds which originate from this region. Through many farms being in existence, the quality and quantity of fresh meat available in the North Yorkshire area is tremendous. Eating grass which is typically cropped region-wide by farm creatures alone – we as hog and spit roast caterers are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to sourcing some of the finest pigs, lambs and beef cows for our spits. Equally tremendous is the height of culinary expectation in the region. Due to such a wealth of brilliant ingredients, the local population, quite rightly, expect excellent quality food as paying customes. Over our decades in the hog and spit roast event catering trade we have seen many firms go out of business through cutting corners when it comes to ingredients used, the quality of chefs employed, along with lack of attention to detail when it comes to service.For us, the high levels of expectation have alowed us to grow, as wwe always utilise the regions best meat, roasted and handled by the best chefs and served in a professional, enthusiastic and attentive manner. Local to the region ourselves, we know exactly what it takes to get the hog roasted event absolutely spot on, time and time again.
From our early events in Ampleforth and Bedale, it quickly became apparent to us that the people and folk of the glorious North Yorkshire area loved their food just as much as we did. Whilst loving to experiment with seasonings and preparatory methods, we maintain a close connection with beautiful simplicity of slow roasting, over flames, very high quality meat – allowing the quality of the produce coupled with the brilliance of the spit roasting method to do all the talking. Our clients love this, just as we do. With meat that melts in the mouth, it would be folly to mess around too much with perfection when it is already present. Just as the climate varies wildly in the North Yorkshire area (with the sub-arctic backing onto the semi-arid) so do our vegetable an side dishes reflect an eclectic and broad approach to accompanying dishes. Rom the straightforward to the exotic, our vast and diverse client base can take advantage of side dishes which will tantalise their tastebuds. Over our years and decades in the hog roast event business, we have been able to travel the length and breadth of Northh Yorkshire – something which is been very interesting indeed. From the tennis clubs of ilkley to the walking and rambling socities which situate themselves in and around areas like Malham, we have always found that the food we bring to events is received with real enthusiasm. Even in areas such as Whitby (traditionally famed for its famous Scampi and seafood), we have found that our spit roast catered events have given the locals a real appetitie for the spit roast – and who can blame them? Slow, flame roasted meat cooked whole cannot be beaten.
