What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
