What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
