How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
