DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
