What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Wendlebury, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
