How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN31 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
