DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

How we price a hog roast for your event
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
