What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
