What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
