What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
