What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
