Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Approval from locations
- A covered eating area
