How we price a hog roast for your event
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Holbrook
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
