Prices and what affects them

- Travel to Upper Eddington
- Numbers
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
