How we price a hog roast for the wake
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
