What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
