How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
