How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Who serves?

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Broadgate
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
