In 2007 seeing a gap in the catering market we began our hog roast venture. We can provide an excellent accompaniment to any wedding, birthday party, corporate event or other celebration. Whether you are working to a specific budget or a specific number of guests we can tailor our catering to your every need. From small family gatherings in a garden setting to large corporate or promotional events Spitting Pig Midlands will adapt and deliver a professional and competent service every time. Whether you are entertaining Uncles or Aunts or impressing prospective clients you can be confident that our hog roast catering will be the perfect accompaniment to your function based in and around, Birmingham, Nuneaton, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Walsall, Rugby, Warwick and Worcester.

All our staff are not only trained to intermediate food hygiene but also vastly experienced in the catering industry. We understand how important it is for you to have complete confidence in the people assisting you on your special day. This is why we assure our customers that once we receive your initial specifications and requirements you can leave the rest to us. Michael Davenport and Ashley Walker the proprietors have worked in the meat industry since 1985.In this time both have worked in managerial roles for several different meat companies ranging from major supermarket chains to meat processing firms, so our knowledge and experience is vast and thorough.

After spotting a gap in the hog roast event catering market in 2007 we thought we could utilise our extensive customer service skills and catering knowledge to become the Midland’s number one hog roaster. Through years of hard work we now feel we have achieved this. We started off by taking over a local butchers shop Bostock Butchers. Bostocks of Nuneaton have been trading in Nuneaton town centre for over one hundred years. Nuneaton is a busy town centre with a population of over seventy thousand people. Ashley Walker and Michael Davenport became directors of Bostocks of Nuneaton in 2003 and became managing directors on October 2006. Bostocks is a traditional butchers shop and specialises in matured beef, home made sausage and pies and Bostocks own range of cooked meats cooked and prepared on site.

Any good start-up business has a grand plan for their opening day; after all, this is your announcement to your community and your future customers that- You have arrived!   It’s a great time to receive free public relations from media, meet and visit with your county or city officials, and more importantly greet your future customers.  It’s an opportunity for you to give back to your community by offering them your services; as well as a great and delicious meal.  And let’s face it- nothing says welcome like free food!

A Hog Roast for your Grand Opening can intrigue those that normally would not attend business openings; therefore, opening your doors to future clients and customers that you may have not considered a prime market.  Simply by word of mouth, your business will start to grow enormously just by simply offering your first visitors a great meal of delicious and juicy pork Bar-b-qued before their very eyes.  For those that wish to add flare and fun to their Grand Opening; consider one of our great catered meals, offered to UK residents exclusively.  For years we have been working with corporations helping them turn their special day into an event to remember offering great food and service.

The History of Spitting Pig Midlands is in contrast short, but very fast paced, and growing every day! 

Looking back, we were never to know what exciting opportunities were to await us when we took over a small Nuneaton butchers shop back in 2003. With a combined experience of thirty six years in the butchery trade around Birmingham, the team ‘grabbed the old bull by the proverbial horns‘ so to speak, and turned Bostocks Butchers into the busy family butcher’s shop that it is today. The shop was doing well and had a great regular customer base with the award winning Nuneaton Open Air Market attracting new customers from all over the Birmingham area and even further afield. But during the winter months of 2007 company Director Ashley Walker found a niche in the catering sector of the Midlands and Coventry, when the busy butchers shop was approached by a number of customers, looking for Hog Roasts and barbeques to complement existing catering offers at their celebrations and parties around Wolverhampton.  

Initially, we accommodated these few customers and did little advertising, concentrating on the growth of our shop. But soon, ‘word of mouth’ prevailed and customer recommendations came flooding in, and we decided to take another look at what possible opportunities there were in this field. For the first few years, there was really no need to advertise, and we could not believe the success of our new venture. To the first customer who ever called us with an enquiry, we now owe a debt of gratitude, and never take for granted the fact that on that day, we were simply in the right place at the right time, and were able to offer our client all over Birmingham exactly what they wanted a price that they were more than happy with.  

Recently, towards the end of summer 2009, we realized we had created a ‘Catering Monster’ and were met with a full email inbox and voicemail box of enquiries every upon arrival at the office every morning. It became more and more difficult for us to manage the busy catering schedule and still give full attention to our customers at the shop. It was time for us to make a decision. And so with carving knife in hand, a heavy heart and an anxious mind, we decided to sell the Butchers shop to an experienced and family orientated butcher, who was able to give our much loved customers the care and attention that their ongoing loyalty deserved.  

At around the same time, we also made the decision to join forces with the big boys. Spitting Pig Limited. Our high standard of catering accompanied with our highly experienced and trained staff and complemented by our knowledge and love for the industry made us the perfect people to represent Spitting Pig in Coventry and throughout the Midlands.

Word soon travelled around about our sumptuous Nuneaton hog roast catering and before long, we were approached by a large corporate advertising company, asking for our assistance to launch a new cooking sauce for an International Tennessee Whisky company at a show in Sutton Coldfeld. We were honored to work with them, and during a full four days of none stop cooking, serving, and customer interfacing, we excelled ourselves. We delivered exactly what they wanted and more. So much so, that they have recommended us to other market leaders to assist with their food product marketing around Birmingham.  

We have now carried out work for a number of corporate companies, including public sector companies, National Health organizations and Construction companies. We also continue where we started, and take great enjoyment in working with people to cater for their weddings, birthdays, christenings, anniversaries and any other excuse they can find to invite Spitting Pig Midlands to attend their celebrations! 

We pin the reasons for our success on a number of factors. Firstly, we insist on the freshest ingredients from local suppliers on every instance. Our pigs are bred, reared and slaughtered within a five mile radius of our base in Nuneaton. Our fresh soft rolls are baked by a family baker in Nuneaton on a daily basis ensuring the best quality and ultimate freshness. Our apple sauce is sourced locally, from local suppliers in Wolverhampton and everything else we supply is home made, made from local fresh ingredients. Working with local suppliers enables us to do regular quality checks on all of our products, and see the products during production. This in turn enables us to give you, the client, the peace of mind you are looking for when choosing a caterer for your special event.  

Another reason we feel we have thrived is the fact that we are still a family run business, and never forget how important this is. With the current economic climate in the state it is in, and consumer trust fading in the larger corporate market, we feel that it is important to instill the family values, and emphasize to our customers that we empathize and understand their needs and desires. No matter how successful a company becomes, and no matter how big an idea grows, it is essential that we remember our roots and continue to work with the people who made us who we are today. 

With this in mind, we decided to look locally again. We invested in a regular market stall space in our home town of Nuneaton for two days a week. We offer our customers a choice of Roasted Pork and stuffing rolls or home made sausage and onion rolls. Seeing the meat roasting before them is a tempting sight and the aroma alone is enough to tempt even the most unknowing customer! This is a great opportunity for us to continue our relationships with our regular shop customers and also attract some new customers with the pull of the award winning market. On the other hand, this is also a great ‘Try before you buy’ opportunity for us to offer out prospective clients who are looking to book us for their events!
