What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
