A hog roast is not only a visually impressive centrepiece but also a delicious and practical way to feed a large group of guests. However, one of the most common questions when planning a hog roast is: how many people will it serve? It’s always a worry that there won’t be enough food to go around, but with Hog Roast Whitchurch, you can leave us to advise and sort everything our for you. Whether you’re organising a wedding, a corporate event, or a relaxed back garden birthday party, ensuring you have enough food is key when you’re catering. The number of guests a hog roast can feed depends on various factors, with the most important being the size of the pig. To help you estimate portions and avoid running short on food, here’s a general serving guide based on the weight of the hog:· Small hog (30-40kg) – Feeds around 50-80 guests
· Medium hog (50-60kg) – Feeds around 100-120 guests
· Large hog (70-80kg) – Feeds around 150-200 guests
These estimates are based on generous servings of pulled pork in a roll with accompaniments. If you’re serving plated meals with multiple sides, the portions can stretch further. It all depends on the package you go for. Don’t worry, we’ll talk you through the different options so you can be assured that there’s plenty to go around.
