What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
