What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
