How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Newchurch
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A named contact at base
- The location manager’s agreement
For somewhere as remote as Newchurch, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
