I have just received a quote from a Hog Roast company that specialise in a wedding menu which has been quoted at 3950 for 100 people... thats 4 times the amount I thought it would be :(
Anyone else having hog roasts and got quotes?
- CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
Far far far too much! Google it, and shop around. Also if you have a family butchers near you, ask them if they know of anyone they could recommend.
- CommentAuthorangelan1986
yeah they are really expensive, i got a quote last year and quickly removed them off my list lol xx
- CommentAuthorRachie :D
130 for £850 - thats for piggy, baps, stuffing, and apple sauce - if we want that with pots, & vegies and dessert its £16 per head with our linen etc included xxx oh & thats at a hotel too ccc

At nearly £40 per head for a hog roast that sounds excessive. Dont let one quote put you off definately shop around! Im sure there are other ladies on here can tell you rougly how much they are paying. xx

I have a gorgeous husband!
2 brilliant wonderful boys, a wonderful life
in Cornwall. Happiest woman ever!
Now making our house a home. Blessing 2014.

- CommentAuthorsammys
Yeah i thought so too... wow I am stunned!

They are there all day, offering canapes, hog roast, salad or vegetables and potato, and they serve your cake for desert. They also provide the crockery and cutlery but still... it seems so much?
- CommentAuthorRags
Are you sure you've read it right. And I hope you didn't ask for the gold plated hog, it's really not necessary.

I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
- CommentAuthorcuddlez80

- CommentAuthorluvlifejen (mrs berr

- CommentAuthorsammys
nope i def read it right.. I will look around I still am stunned... that's pure robbery! I am going to really look around now, try and get it for a lot cheaper! I thought it would be around £10-15 a head... how naive!
- CommentAuthorluvlifejen (mrs berr

Now i'm thinking my H2B has taken it toooo far, apparently we are going to rear our own pigs for the wedding!!! i can see it now would you like pinky or perky lol least my dad's a farmer and i WILL NOT be having them in my garden!!
- CommentAuthorRachie :D
It is about that for just the main - when you start adding canapes on and time and them sorting other things on the you will be adding on but not to £40 per head xxx
