What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating

- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
