What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
