Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
