A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Planning the cooking spot
