How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
