About our care home hog roast in Cothill

How we price a hog roast day
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
