Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Served at the time you choose
