About The Spit Roast Catering Company
The Spit Roast Catering Company is a family-run caterer based in South Melbourne, opposite the South Melbourne Market. It began in 1982 as Mac's Roving Roast, took its current name a year later, and has been run by the present owners since 2002. Roast meats are the core of the business, backed by salads, finger food and desserts. The Sensational Self-Serve menu suits hosts who want food delivered and nothing more. Beef, lamb and pork turn up fully cooked and carved, and you can add jacket potatoes, home-style gravy, dinner rolls and a choice of salads, up to The Works with disposables included. For a fuller service, The Party Carvery brings staff to serve three meats, salads and trimmings on disposable plates, while The Carvery Supreme widens the meat choice to ham, turkey and boneless chicken and swaps to china plates and stainless cutlery. Separate menus cover small gatherings of 10 to 20 guests, classic and gourmet finger food picked item by item, fresh salads, plated or self-serve desserts, and breakfast and lunch platters for workplaces. Vegetarian and vegan lasagne trays can be added to the carvery menus, and many salads are gluten free. The team has fed groups from 15 guests to well over 1,000 at Christmas parties and festivals, in parks, gardens, bowls clubs, warehouses, offices and homes. Waiters, bar staff and chefs are available by the hour, and tables, glasses and crockery can be hired. Send an enquiry with your guest numbers and menu to book.
