Party hog roast for Sprig's Alley
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Party hog roast in Sprig's Alley, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater getting-engaged parties and garden parties, serving crackling, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
A country party near Sprig's Alley is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
