How we price a hog roast for the wake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
