DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How we price a hog roast for your team
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
