How to pay less
- Book a hog roast for a larger guest list so the cost per head falls

Before you book
- Check the hog roast caterer is registered as a food business and ask for its hygiene rating
- Ask the venue where the roasting machine can go and whether gas cooking is allowed
- Arrange a vegetarian option, as the basic hog roast price usually covers pork only
- Confirm the minimum guest number and what happens to any leftover meat
