What else we do in Fishbourne
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
