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
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
