Graham Peet and the Spit Roast Catering Company are thrilled to announce they’ve officially been pronounced Match Fit for the Rugby World Cup (RWC).

A wee while ago Graham entered a promotion to show just how prepared he and his companies are for the biggest sporting event in New Zealand’s history.

Spit Roast Catering Company and The Fingerfood Catering Company – Graham’s key brands – won the “RWC 2011 Match Ready” competition, which is something he’s truly proud of.

Auckland’s RWC 2011* has jumped right in behind, making them part of a select group of businesses around the super-city counting down to the huge international showcase.

People who know Graham and his brands will already be aware they are the ORIGINAL and BIGGEST Spit Roast Caterers in the country. Their energy to meet customers’ needs is contagious and as strong as the day they began doing business. They are also the only Spit Roast Caterer to stand by their product through the Unconditional Compliment Guarantee.

Everybody in New Zealand wants the Rugby World Cup to be a roaring success, and Graham’s team at Spit Roast Catering Company is no different.

Graham says his victory in this competition is testament to the fact he’s got all bases covered and is more than willing to go the extra mile to satisfy customers. He’s proud of the variety and flexibility of the packages the company offers, and that it can also cater to vegetarians, vegans, and the gluten-free market.

“We are the original Spit Roast Catering Company,” Graham says. “Others come and go but they haven’t the proven systems, experience and expertise. One of our strengths is our famous can-do attitude. We push that the whole time – we will do whatever we have to to meet our customers’ expectations.

“We’ve traveled on barges to cater events on remote islands; we’ve been in cranes riding up to uncompleted buildings, delivered food up 30 flights of stairs and in the middle of forests. We serve 200,000 people per year and have catered functions for 40,000 people. Imitators come along, but they can’t do what we do. And that’s a fact.”

Part of the prize is $10,000 worth of marketing support from advertising giant Ogilvy New Zealand, which will develop a marketing plan to help Graham’s team achieve its business goals, with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development also providing support.

And on the topic of what Spit Roast Catering Company does best, there are a couple of packages it offers we thought you should know about – the “World Cup Warm Up Package”, and “The Kiwi Experience”.

The first is cost-effective and full of the tasty goodness for which Spit Roast Caterinc Company is famous, and as usual it includes everything you need, from plastic plates and napkins to knives and forks. For $22 per guest (including GST) you get more food than you can poke a plastic fork at, and a variety of food including a selection meats, hot veges, bread and mashed potato. The Kiwi Experience Package is just as appetising so check it out on the Spit Roast Catering Company website now.

Graham began his companies 14 years ago and now has bases in Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty. He has a few more grey hairs than when he started but the huge number of customers who have grown into friends has more than made it all worthwhile. In that time he’s become the trusted industry leader, specialising in all types of functions, regardless of their size (we can cater for 15 to 5000 people).

The drive and enthusiasm to provide the best event possible for the customer – no matter their unique needs or demands – has resulted in people raving about his high quality food and catering supplies for years. And there is now even a new party high division to supply your needs in this area.

Don’t forget – Spit Roast Catering Company is constantly being imitated by competitors – so make sure you visit www.srcc.co.nz or phone 0800 762 787 to speak to the team. Others will come and go; Graham’s team stands the test of time. And thanks for your time!

Some of you may know Graham Peet as the Godfather of Hot Meats (What? You didn’t know he was called that? Shame on you!), but we prefer to think of him as a good Kiwi bloke who had a great idea back in 1997 and worked hard to make it happen.

Many years later, Graham is just as dedicated to excellence as the day he started, and he’s since gone on to establish the Fingerfood Catering Company, as well as a new and successful party hire business.

Here’s a couple of reasons why we think you should go with us, the main ones being our reputation, commitment to quality, Compliment Guarantee, flexibility, and more.

Spit Roast Catering Company and Fingerfood Catering Company are the originals, the biggest, and the market leaders. Our packages include a huge selection of meats, veges, breads and more, and we can do everything for you at the function except eat it. Plus, we also cater for vegetarians, vegans, and the gluten-free market.

We know there is a lot of competition in the catering world, with flashy advertising and marketing gimics all trying to get your attention. While other companies are paying people to sit around a table with their calculators, flow charts and pocket protectors, we are obsessively trying to improve what we can do for you and how we do it.

Some people ask us “What can you do for me?” to which we answer: “Whatever you need”. If you’re holding a function that requires delicious food, we can take care if it and we won’t disappoint. We cater indoor work functions, casual beach parties, construction roof shouts, huge public events, weddings, and everything in between.

Spit Roast Catering Company has grown to become the most experienced and respected spit roast caterer in the country, so you can be confident you’re dealing with people who know how to get the job done. We can cater for groups as small as 15 and as big as 5000, so don’t be afraid to ask if we can help you.

Proving that we stand behind our work is our unconditional Compliment Guarantee. If you don’t get at least five compliments about the food and catering at your event, tell us and we’ll give you back $50 and our sincere apologies.

Two great examples of what we offer are the “World Cup Warm Up Package”, and “The Kiwi Experience”. The first includes everything you need from plastic plates and napkins to knives and forks. For the great price of $22 per guest (including GST), you get all the food you need to keep everyone happy, including a selection of meats, hot veges, bread and mashed potato.

All the packages entail our highly experienced staff coming to you to cook, carve, serve and even clean up afterwards. All you have to focus on is having a good time and chowing down on great food.

We always come to the party with the highest quality food and service and our trademark obsession with excellence. You won’t find any off-colour vegetables or undercooked meats anywhere near us. We are allergic to anything less than perfection. If Graham even sees an undercooked sausage he breaks out in hives. It’s a fact.

So, take your shoes off and put your feet up – your colleagues will thank you for choosing Spit Roast Catering Company or Fingerfood Catering Company.

For in-depth pricing information on all our products, visit www.srcc.co.nz, or give us a call. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for your time!
