Spitting Pig Hertfordshire are very well known for providing quality spit roast catering and are often seen hog roast catering in Great Barford. it is an ideal location for Spitting Pig Hertfordshire as we are based close by.
Today’s menu is spit roast lamb… We are providing the roast lamb feast for Ben and Alison who are having their baby daughter christened at the nearby Parish Church and then having a reception at the in their back garden which is just round the corner.
We arrived at the house around ten o’clock in the morning and set us our catering tent in the back garden and started preparing the lamb roast. Our lamb roasts are amazing…. Sprigs of rosemary and slices of garlic are inserted into the lamb, then a drizzle of olive oil is rubbed into the skin with a squeeze of lemon juice and then it will be slowly roasted for about four hours or so.
While the lamb was cooking we set about preparing the vegetables to accompany the lamb roast in Sandy. We had decided to offer roasted parsnips glazed in honey and carrots along with roasted new potatoes.
We always prepare and cook everything freshly on site on the day whenever possible, spit roast catering in Great Barford a great solution for the smaller party. Spit roast catering really is a popular and cost effective solution to feed your guests and adds a focal point to your party or event. Whatever the meat option, you are treated to the most mouth watering succulent roast and with the addition of our homemade salads or vegetables… The perfect party menu!
We set up our serving tables with crisp white linen and stainless steel chafing dishes under our catering marquee. The crockery and cutlery was placed on the tables and we were ready for action.
The great thing about this menu is…. The potatoes are par boiled and then roasted in the spit roast machine while the lamb is roasting; the juices and flavour of the lamb roast with rosemary and garlic give the potatoes such a good flavour… They are just awesome. We do leave a few plain boiled with the fresh mint for non meat eaters. Guests hovered around the catering tent while enjoying a nice pint of beer or glass of wine breathing in deep gulps of the intoxicating aroma of spit roasting lamb seasoned with rosemary and garlic.
The vegetables and potatoes were transferred into the chafing dishes and we set about carving the spit roast lamb in Great Barford. The lamb skin with the delicate flavour of the rosemary and garlic is just amazing. It still has a little crunch to it but just tastes so good so we always offer the lamb skin in small strips alongside the delicious tender meat.
The sixty or so guests were soon queuing for their Sunday lamb roast, carrots, parsnips which were roasted in honey and the roast potatoes with rosemary and garlic and the lamb was devoured as many came back for a second helping.
Once everyone had had their fill our staff quickly collected the crockery and cutlery and packed them away. We then quickly and quietly removed the machine and all our serving equipment with no disturbance to the party
