Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Prices and what affects them

- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
