Porkies pig roast ?

[P40E]

This place is in Woodstock on rt 47 by the Harley dealer and they said they would do catering there . A small pig is said to feed 15-20 people . I believe the package comes with 2 sides (beans fries Cole slaw etc etc )

It's kind of expensive . I'm guessing maybe $450 .

Would need definite answers on who would go . Possibly paypal so to make sure we have all the money to pay .

They just remodeled the place and has a beer garden .

Would like to get 15-20 people . I would put in the 1st $50 . The rest would be split up per person .

I guess post in here if you are willing to go .

Porkies Pig Roast

i feel like that's either an awfully small pig, or a whole lot of REALLY fucking hungry people... 15 for a whole pig? whoa.

Thats gotta be a tiny pig! lmao We did a 200#er for the PAF open house, it fed like 100 people and I had leftovers for days....and it was glorious.

I always see that place on the way to the lake, but $450 is ludicrous if its really for 15-20 people. I paid under $400 for that 200# one.

well $450 with sides and all the shit, if it's a real sized pig isn't terrible...

but... if it is some runt-pig that only feeds 15 people...

I could feed 15-20 people with a 7# pork shoulder that cost like $10, in fact, I just did at a bachelor party this weekend.

agreed. pork shoulders ftmfw.

i have four in my freezer right now... when they are 99 cents i stock the fuck up.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Thats what I meant KJ, $450 for a decent 100# pig and sides would be about right.

 

[Yaj Yak]

oh

 

[RICH17]

We just looked at this for our 50th anniversary party. But to feed 65 people it would've been 1500 bucks. No thanks

 

[Yaj Yak]

i feel like that's expensive as well.

 

[RICH17]

Yea now we're doing Famous Dave's. Only have a 1k budget and has to include soda, plates, and dessert

 

[ktraver97ss]

Thats a little high, but the price of pork has risen significantly the last few years so Im not surprised. i was talking about what I paid for the pig and then to cook it myself. I had a company cook a pig for us once for a house party and I thing it was about $1300 to serve 70 people with sides and all.

 

[EmersonHart13]

It is, I believe the HIGH price per pound for a whole pig is just under 3 per pound dressed. For suckling pigs, prices can go up to $4 per pound. I actually need to call and reserve my pig today so I'll reply back what I am paying. I am doing something around 80-85 lbs.

A 75 pound hog will yield about 35 pounds of edible pork, enough to make about 70 pulled pork sandwiches and feed about 50 people depending on what else you are serving, average age, gender, time of day, and available alcohol.

40 pounds, gutted, head on: 3.5 hours
75 pounds: 9 hours
100 pounds: 12 hours
125 pounds: 15 hours
150 pounds: 18 hours
175 pounds: 21 hours
200 pounds: 24 hours

damn... i paid less for a grass fed cow...

 

[EmersonHart13]

Was your cow dressed?

That number is also the national high number, not local, that I found on the internet.

my family in WI did a pig roast for our family reunion. people on my snap chat saw the pig. i dont know how big it was weight wise, but it was a good 4-5 feet long. it fed close to 50 hungry people and basically everyone went home with a gallon size ziplok bag full of pork leftovers.

it took 5 guys with electric knives about 30-40 minutes to cut it all up for pulled pork.

hanging weight price, so definitely different then.

i think after cutting/processing bullshit it was around 6.75 a lb for everything.

which is kinda high for ground- but not good, grass fed ground...

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yup apples to oranges. I think a pig is like 1.50 a pound hanging.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah my hanging was 2.40 a lb, and then 55 cents a lb processing... and all said and done with what i receieved was around 6.75 a lb.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I wanted to do a side of beef for this roast but I figured that was an expensive and risky endeavor for a first timer.

Maybe next time!

 

[Yaj Yak]

this thread has gone places, but nowhere i think the OP wanted it to...

 

[Yaj Yak]

i wonder if we set up the OP as an event... paypal to reserve your spot, everyone cruise there and hang out.

 

[rz79]

My only input is that Porkies is probably the best BBQ I've ever had (granted I've never sought it out in like KC or other Meccas of smoke). The brisket, the sides.. It's all amazing.

 

[EmersonHart13]

85lb pig ordered. Told me about 190 bucks.
