What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
