How we price a hog roast day
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
