How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
