The culinary phenomenon which categorises and houses this form of cooking is in existence through no fault of coincidence, and its almost exponential rise in popularity in Britain is not coincidental either. Far from it, in fact. Not many decades ago (in truth, right up to the early 90’s) the standard of cuisine that was available in Britain was seen to be below par. Opinions voiced, in particular, by our European counterparts echoed this absolutely. Typified in post-war Britain, the food that the British consumed was distinctly average. Throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s it became apparent that, although we had some of the finest pasture land out there, we weren’t producing the finest in the remit of ingredients. Although, in localised form, we, as a nation, produce some exceptional produce, and always have, the quality of our restaurant and catered event cuisine was known for its blandness, poor attention to detail and its large amounts of the lack lustre.
Today, the nation sits in what can only be called a culinary revolution. Where once people were happy, in general, to consume mediocre food at events, now the onus is on quality, diversity and flavour. Having attended numerous catered events in the past, as well as attending many events whilst researching the necessities of our machines, it was appallingly apparent to us that many people in the great nation of Britain were more than happy to accept poor food at events, often with the attitude that even though the food was poor the event was acceptable due to the quality of the company.
Our journey in the arena of bespoke hog and spit roast catered events started a long time ago. A family run outfit, we were enamoured by the hog roast decades ago. Since then, it has been our mission and our steadfast cause to re-invigorate the nation with machinery that can allow them to appreciate this taste on a regular basis. Having attended countless hog roasts that we have held with our own machinery, we know that a beer or two, surrounded by friends in the sunshine or even the drizzle, is time exceptionally well spent.
The hog roast machines which we design and manufacture (as well as the host of attachments and bespoke embellishments we create) hinge entirely around the sole use of charcoal as the fuel which powers the cooking process. Many of our competitors within the market utilise gas ovens, but we feel that this completely misses the point, whilst also rendering the public at a loss, as they miss out on the true taste experience which only true charcoal brings. A huge extension of the traditional barbecue itself, the taste levels that utilising charcoal brings is completely unattainable by the gas operated systems. Effectively taking a conventional gas oven outside, the machines on offer on behalf of our gas fuelled competitors offer the customer with an exceptionally bland solution. Ignoring the whole theatrical element of the bespoke hog and spit roast as well as the un mistakable char-grilled flavour which not only infuses the meat with a piquant delight but also facilitates the most lovely of crackling, the gas roasters remove all that is glorious about his method of cooking. Where we combine up-to-the-second design and manufacturing solutions to the traditional method of hog roasting, our gas fuelled competitors completely ruin the roast, as nowhere is tradition observed, and thus the tastes that are yielded do not in any way compare. Just ask our highly successful catering customers, who would have it no other way than charcoal. The truth of the matter is that charcoal offers the customers of our catering clients the opportunity to truly indulge in a sensory experience. Where a gas oven can only replicate what can already be made indoors, the charcoal experience facilitates all of the senses becoming inexplicably involved in the hog roasting process.
Our machines are made from the highest quality stainless steels, which are bought in bulk in order to save you money. Along with our mass purchase of materials, we always manufacture intensively and well ahead of the market. This way, when our customers want a machine, we can despatch it that very same day. Working closely with TNT, our machines can get to anywhere in the United Kingdom utilising the next day system. Invaluable for our customers, this allows the caterer or home user to be in control at the drop of a hat.
Overcoming structural issues has been an aspect of much enjoyment for us. We have always been natural-born engineers, so the mountainous tasks involved in making charcoal roasters as good as we envisaged them was a pleasure for us to undertake. Our whole team at hogroastmachine are fully qualified and trained when it comes to design and engineering, and it’s the combination of our great thinkers and doers, along with our insistence on using the most up to date machinery and tooling systems, which has led us to the forefront of hog and spit roast manufacture and has kept us there.
To finish, and to welcome you to our web site and our fabulous world, where charcoal inspired traditional hog roasting meets the technological world of absolute technical reliability and grace, here are a few words from our Managing Director.
Hello and welcome to the place where your hog roasting dreams come true. We’ve been at the cutting edge of charcoal based machine manufacture for decades now, yet when I look back at it all it all seems like it was yesterday. Like a flash, the time has gone by. It seems as yesterday that we were grappling with the Herculean task of improving the machines on the market. Its hard to get across to you how awful the standard machines were when we entered the market – rusty, decrepit, leaky and completely unreliable, it is down to the dedication of our entire team that we now manufacture hog and spit roast machines which are far simpler to use than any other gas or charcoal system out there. Through continual commitment to improvements in areas such as design and manufacture, our material improvements, along with our incessant contact with our catering clients, has ensured that all the features you find on our machines today will benefit the user in the catering environment. Able, through laser production techniques, to combine the beauty of our design with the strength to survive a bomb blast, ensures that our customers always get the best from us.
