We are outside caterers that specialise in providing succulent spitroasts and barbecues for any occasion; we are not a part-time business but a full time professional all year round service which has been in business since 2004. Most of our business is providing hogroasts for private events - weddings, anniversaries and birthdays not only in private gardens and locations but also at local hotels and venues both within, and on the edges of, the New Forest.

Tony Notcutt and his team provided an outstanding service for my daughter Amelia’s 21st birthday party last Saturday, the Hog Roast was just the best, delicious, professionally carved and commented on by everyone. His salads, desserts and cheese were just amazing and even though we had some unexpected extra guests there was more than enough food to go round. A big thank you to the Hog & Lamb Spitroast Company I would highly recommend you to everyone More...

What’s your signature dish?
Most of our business is hogroasts - we don't just cook pigs to feed people, we offer succulent hot food, cooked with a care and expertise which comes from years of experience, our full-time focus and a passion for ensuring a quality outcome. If we had to be specific then we would say a Morroccan Lamb Mechoui/Meshwe but we don't really do enough of them to qualify as a signature dish.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We like to meet with our clients to discuss their requirements; we want to discuss the whole day, where the food fits into the day and how the service might work; we can often make suggestions which come for our experience of events.
What do you love most about your job?
Every year I have people tell me that ours is the tastiest hogroast they have ever tasted; at least half of what I do every year is repeat business. It is a very good feeling knowing that I am able to meet and, more often than not, exceed people's expectations and it such a buzz being part of those important once in a lifetime celebrations and contributing to that memory.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been working in leisure and hospitality for a number of years and started working part-time with a local caterer running hogroasts for them, largely for the fun of it. As a South African the braai (barbecue) is so much a part of life and when the opportunity came to buy a roaster and start a business I jumped at it.
Why should our clients choose you?
Our unique selling point (USP) is that we run our spitroast business full-time and all year round, this is not a part-time business. All our energy goes into ensuring that our clients receive the service that they expect, hence the number that continue to use our services, year on year; one of our clients has been holding their annual events and using our services since 2005! We are professional, flexible and approachable and will do whatever we can to make sure your celebration meets or exceeds your expectations - it might be the biggest and most important celebration of your life!
