How we price a hog roast for the wake

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What happens on the day
