How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
