Sprig's Alley: your questions answered
Is Sprig's Alley close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Sprig's Alley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
