What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
