Why is the Spitting Pig Franchise a Good Investment?

There are many hog roast businesses out there. Some of which are also franchised. But what they lack is the experience Spitting Pig have. Where others have 10 maybe 15 franchisees, Spitting Pig are nearing 30. What makes Spitting Pig a great investment is this experience and reputation. A solid brand, Spitting Pig is a well-known name within hog roast catering and by using a brand people are familiar of, you can expect to surpass this competition.

With a guaranteed £150,000 worth of bookings in year one, you’ll achieve a very fast return on investment. Serving private parties, corporate catering, weddings and other events, you will benefit from a sizeable territory with year round business.

Spitting Pig Frequently Asked Questions

What Do Existing Franchisees Think?

Buying into a franchise at 19 was quite daunting to us. We didn’t know how the first year would go as we established a new area and got familiar with the different menus. Fortunately, Steve and the team at head office have fully supported us, we could completely trust them in accomplishing a great result in marketing, sales and even with help on the jobs.

Despite it being work and sometimes rather stressful; it is quite a sociable and enjoyable experience since you meet different kinds of people from all walks of life, even sometimes celebrities! This past summer we catered at an event where David Neilson (Roy Cropper in Coronation Street) was a guest, and the summer before we catered for an event organised by Feargal Sharkey. Additionally, we have catered at some amazing venues, even castles! It makes the experience more intriguing and fun as you never know where you will end up.

Thanks to the hard work of the entire team, both in the office and our catering teams, Beth and I have been able to achieve a successful and well established franchise area. And best thing is we get to work together.

Ben and Beth, Spitting Pig Northamptonshire

Having been self employed my whole life, in 2019 I was looking for a complete life change and looked into franchises.

I came across the Spitting Pig franchise and am so glad I did! I got an immediate call back and all information provided and arranged to go to head office to meet the team within a week.

The difference with this franchise compared to many, was you really are part of a team with Spitting Pig working with and for you to develop your business, but at the same time it’s still your business to run yourself. So many franchises you pay your money then you’re left in your own. Spitting Pig is very different with access at all times to head office who do an amazing job for you on marketing, sales, accounts – literally everything.

Even with the pandemic hitting us hard in 2020, the team have been right behind us in all aspects helping us out and bookings for 2021 & 2022 are phenomenal.

Best decision I’ve made to be part of a great team of head office, fellow franchisees, it’s a great fun business giving people great food at a huge variety of events and venues and nicest way to make a living – would highly recommend.
