Nothing says spring like safely gathering together for a catered pig roast with family and friends. While the succulent pork might be the star of the show, you’ll need to order some side items to complete the meal. Here are a few go-to dishes that every roast needs.

What to Serve at a Pig Roast

1. Mac & Cheese

A favorite for guests of all ages, macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. This warm, cheesy side dish will be an excellent addition to the pig roast. Even the pickiest kids at the party will be coming back to the table for seconds. Make sure to have plenty of mac and cheese for everyone.

2. Fresh Fruit Salad

Nothing is more refreshing on a warm spring day than chilled fruit. A fresh-cut fruit salad makes a great appetizer or even a sweet dessert for those looking to cool down after a warm meal. Ordering a salad also gives guests a wider variety of fruits to enjoy, from pineapples and strawberries to cantaloupe and watermelon.

3. Coleslaw

The crisp texture and creamy, tangy flavor of coleslaw provide a great contrast to the tender and savory taste of roasted pig. Like fruit salad, its cool temperature will also help cool you down between bites of hot food. Coleslaw is good on its own and even better when topped on a pork sandwich.

4. Oven-Roasted Potatoes

Versatile and easily flavored, potatoes can be prepared for any occasion. Potato salad and baked potatoes would both be excellent options for a pig roast, but consider opting for oven-roasted potatoes. This warm, tender, and generously seasoned dish is a must for every cookout.

5. Baked Beans

No barbecue is complete without a piping hot dish of baked beans. This simple but flavorful side item is a staple at every cookout, so make sure to put it on your event menu. Savory with a hint of sweetness, baked BBQ beans are the perfect match for roasted pig.
