How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
