What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
