How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
