How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
