What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
