How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year

The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
