A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
