Being at the forefront of hog and spit roast machine manufacture has been a great journey. As an engineering project which has been ongoing for decades, it is an example to us and our affiliates that improvements can always be made and progress, in terms of steps forward, can always be taken providing the correct attitude and degrees of determination are adopted by all involved. It wasn’t so many decades ago that a hog roast machine was the most unwieldy, primitive and unreliable object one was likely to encounter. Common problems included leaking bodies, drastic heaviness in terms of kerb weight, lack of mobility in the entire sense, as well as having burners which were as predictable as the most intricate of crime novels. In truth, it wasn’t so long ago that hog and spit roaster machines could be used, with any degree of success, by trained and qualified professionals.

Our machines today stand tall and proud amongst their competitors. The market leaders by more than a hugely significant margin, they are as reputable and effective as the James Alpe brand itself. Spanning a range of capabilities and strengths which have been tailored by our engineers and active consultation from caterers from all over the country, for many years, has allowed us to craft and create machines which perform formidably, in every aspect of catering, both mobile and static. Early improvements made at the behest of caterers, right through to improvements implemented only a month ago, indicate just how advanced these pieces of engineering are. Our burners, which line the length of the inside of the machine, on both sides, produce a steady yet perfectly shaped set of flames which really optimise the cooking process of the pigs. Understanding the needs of our customers includes knowing how to cook pigs, and our burners allow for the most sumptuous of roasting whilst facilitating the perfect crackling, a deep gold every time.

Te machine hire option is a choice that we offer our customers with a great degree of pride. Harking back to sentiments made earlier, the fact that we feel more than comfortable hiring out hog and spit roaster machines to complete novices, as well as seasoned and hardened caterers, is a true underlining example that our hog and spit roasting machines have dramatically improved over the years. Our computerised and laser tooled machining processes have allowed our machines to possess huge amounts of rigidity and strength, whilst also keeping their weights to a minimum. Alongside this, our rubber, pneumatic wheels make the prospect of motion through venues no problem at all. With clean burners and an effortless spitting procedure, it has never been easier for anyone to get their hands on a quality piece of culinary inspired engineering from James Alpe ltd.

All the machines in our immaculate range can be hired, as we have as much confidence in the ease of use of our commercial behemoths as we do in our hugely popular and versatile smaller roasting units. All delivered and collected to you, complete with gas, there’s no reason why you cant become part of the cooking and roasting future.
