Planning help
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
