How we price a hog roast day
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
