If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
