How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
