How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
