DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
