Rural businesses around Hale Street can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
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.
