Hog Roast Axminster

What is the attraction of working as a hog roast caterer in Axminster? Well for us, it’s impossible to fault the area. For preparing and serving delicious hog roast, Axminster is a prime location to be in. You need a great product to make a go of it anywhere of course, and we’ve certainly got that. What we specialise in is sourcing the best local meats and other ingredients before preparing and cooking them to perfection. Our customers here in Axminster know what we’re all about and that is exactly why they return to us for more time and again. If you had to construct a rural idyll, you could do far worse than using Axminster as a model. When people from outside hear ‘Axminster’ they tend to think ‘carpets’ and it’s certainly the case that the textile industry has played and continues to play an important part in the town. Carpets are only part of our story though. Axminster is recorded as a well established town in the Domesday Book and indeed there’s been a settlement here even since the time of the Celts – before even the Romans arrived. People have been living, going about their business, celebrating and eating in and around Axminster for several millenia and we’re proud to be part of a very long tradition. It makes it all the more special that our business is the preparation of meat by means of a process – namely spit roasting – which is just as old. For us, slowly and expertly spit roasting the finest local meats is an art and it’s certainly reassuring to know that people in and around Axminster have recognised this for thousands of years.

We’re not all about the past though and things are certainly happening in Axminster. Visitors to Axminster will find a bustling market town, full of pretty architecture and ideally positioned on the eastern edge of Devon and this certainly helps with bringing in the tourists. We’re surrounded by some lovely countryside with plenty of sights to see (for example the stunning Forde Abbey monastery and gardens down the road). This makes us an ideal choice for visitors, whether they be planning to visit for a couple of days or even longer – particularly if they’re looking to use Axminster as a base for exploring the wider area. So far as visitors are concerned, our philosophy is ‘the more the merrier’ because hopefully a lot of them will get to experience our delicious hog roast, Axminster residents themselves have come to love. Indeed it’s the local people here in Axminster who are at the heart of our hog roast catering business. It’s important to remember that Axminster is only a small town with just 5000 or so residents and so word gets around fast. If our product was not up to scratch then we wouldn’t survive – it’s as simple as that. Fortunately for us, our delicious spit roast in many ways speaks for itself which means we are able to thrive here in Axminster. People here know that whatever the event or celebration, they can count on us to deliver the goods to make it that extra bit special.

Ben and Jodie’s wedding at The Barn at Pengelly was a brilliant day to cater for. Our Southern Slow menu was the star of the evening with our slow roasted meats all going down perfectly. Mac and cheese, chips finished the table beautifully and the plates came back spotless 🐷✨🥂
