Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
