The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
