How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: 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.

We serve quickly on the call.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
