How we price a hog roast for the crew
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
