Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
