How Much Does Catering Cost? (Hog Roast, BBQ & Pizza Guide)
A clear, no‑nonsense guide to how hog roast, BBQ and stone baked pizza catering prices are worked out – and what you actually get for your money.
Quick Answer: Why You Won’t See Fixed Prices Here
Catering isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. The cost of your event depends on:
How many guests you’re feeding
Whether you choose hog roast, BBQ, stone baked pizza – or a mix
Your event location and access
Event timings and serving style
Any extras, salads, desserts or dietary requirements
Because every event is different, we don’t publish fixed prices. Instead, we work out a fair, tailored quote so you only pay for what you actually need.

What Really Drives the Cost of Your Event
Behind the scenes, there’s a lot that goes into working out a fair catering price. When we quote, we look at:
Guest numbers: how many people you want to feed
Menu type: hog roast, BBQ, stone baked pizza – or a combination
Location: travel distance, access and setup requirements
Event timings: when you want food served and for how long
Staffing: how many chefs and servers are needed
Equipment: gazebos, tables, serving equipment and power needs
Extras: salads, sides, desserts and dietary options
All of this means two events with the same guest numbers can still have different costs – which is why we don’t use a one‑size‑fits‑all price list.
