Caterers form the greatest portion of our customers as regards the sale of our hog and spit roast machines. Designed with both the static caterer and the mobile caterer in mind, our machines boast impressive features as ell as supreme longevity, so its little surprise that our machine products are fast becoming the ‘must-haves’ for caterers in the United Kingdom and beyond.

            Our introduction into the hog and spit roasting trade began nearly fifty years ago. Back then, the sixties were about to swing into action, yet although cultural revolution was about to storm the stage from its patient wait in the wings, the culinary page of the book was not about to be violently turned. Far from it. Whilst many people were happy to sample the fruits of new found glory within political discourse, we went against the grain by developing our hog roasters, confident of our ability to engineer a fantastic oven which could flame roast on the move and create food of which we could all be proud.

            During the design and manufacture of our specialist hog and spit roaster machine units, top caterers from all over the United Kingdom are consulted on a variety of issues that we face. Keeping our customers involved in the process not only keeps our designs parallel to the needs of our consumers, but generally allows for us to make a better product. After all, the caterers use the machines so intensively, thus it is them who bring issues to the fore which may be easily overlooked.

            At current, one of our ‘one-off’ bespoke restaurant orientated machines is being re-developed for wider use. Made for Jamie Olivers new brasserie, ‘Jamie’s Italian,’ situated on Canary Wharf, this hog roast machine is the height of culinary sensation. Burning completely cleanly and very happy both static and mobile, this machine allows the pig to be wheeled in front of diners and carved with ease. At the moment, this machine has attracted interest, yet to make it relevant to all of our customers, improvements have to be made. Consulting our caterers, this is an ongoing process which requires much testing and ‘fettling’ (much to the delight of everyone at the plant, as testing always involves tasting!) So here, as with all of our development, our catering customers play a part in the design of the machine. This ensures that, often, instead of problems being solved through engineering solutions, we can anticipate the problem and engineer our way around it before it has the chance to inflict itself within the catering situation, which is great for everyone.

            Feedback we always love to hear and the fact that some of the most reputable and notable caterers in the United Kingdom form portions of our close friendship groups highlight the notion that we are approved by them. Over the years, through trust and quality, we have built and made solid relationship[s with our catering customers which allow both parties to take mutual advantage of each others expertise and knowledge. On a platonic level, these relationships allow for much fun to be had also, and what can be better than trying out a new machine design with workers and caterers alike? Not much in this life.
