What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
