Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

How it works

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
