A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. 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.
Why book our hog roast in Hound
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
