What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
