About our South Essex

Hog Roast Catering Company

Hello, I’m Dohnis, the catering manager for Spitting Pig South Essex. With a long career in catering and hospitality, I’ve worked in restaurant management at London hotels and as a hospitality manager for BSI. My keen eye for standards has carried over to my role as a Hog Roast Chef.

Being of Greek Cypriot origin, BBQs are in my blood, which inspired me to join the Spitting Pig family. I run the franchise with the help of my family and close friends, who I trust and train to meet our high standards. My daughters have grown up tasting and critiquing my food, while my wife Sue is invaluable in event preparation. My eldest daughters, Eleni and Zoe, love being part of the action at events.

Family is the most important thing in my life followed closely by football and holidays with family to Cyprus. I love the buzz of catering at events and really enjoy the atmosphere and being a part of people’s celebrations.

Types of Event We Cover

Hog Roast South Essex

If there’s one thing we’ve learned whilst cooking Hog Roasts in Brentwood over our 10+ years of event catering, it’s that no two parties are ever the same. From the ratio of adults to children to the number of meals required throughout the day, each and every time we prepare to cater an event, we take a huge checklist of considerations into account. We’d like to reassure you that no matter the style or size of the event or celebration, we’re ready. Here’s a list of the common types of events/celebrations for which we regularly provide exquisite hog roast catering:

  • Charity Events
  • Corporate Functions
  • Birthday Celebrations
  • Wedding Celebrations
  • Private Gatherings/Parties (e.g. Garden Parties)

Indoor/Outdoor… Planning an indoor event? Planning something entirely outdoor? Planning something in between with gazebos and tents? Not a problem. Our hog roast machines require very little space. Whether you have a lot of room, or whether you can only offer limited space, we’re confident that we can make your indoor or outdoor hog roast catering event a smooth and clean sailing experience.

Great time had by all at the National Award Winning Heckpen Farm 🐷

The team loved every moment of this one. Beautiful setting, brilliant atmosphere and guests who were fully ready for good food and good fun.
