- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Three Mile Cross
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
