Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
