A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
