What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
