What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
