With a 140lb pig,
some 110lb of that is ready saleable meat. The average portion
size is around 5 - 6 ounces, giving some 300 portions.
At £3.50 per portion, that's up to £1050 in Potential
Income (depending on the event this could be £4 per
loaded roll)
After taking off your expenditure and that leaves
you with around £800 in profit.
At busy events you may need two machines to cook two “hogs”,
which will provide additional income, expenditure should not
exceed £400 as the pitch transport and staff should
remain constant.
So your profit could be as much as £1700 for
the day.
Private Events.
Private events are a joy to do and with our easy to use
machine, it feels very much as if you are part of the party
every week, everybody wants to see how it cooks, everyone
wants to speak to you and best of all everyone seems to want
to thank you for what you have done. At private events, there
are numerous ways of providing an income from the machine.
| Machine Rental |
Typically at £175.00 plus delivery (straight forward
profit) |
| Machine Rental with the Hog |
Typically £325.00 plus delivery (profit of £245) |
| Carve and Serve |
Typically £500.00 (profit of c£380 after
transport costs) |
| The Whole Hog |
Catering at £8.95 per head to include serving,
salad bar etc (The whole hog profit depends on the numbers
but based on a typical 120 persons, it provides a gross
profit after assistant and consumables of c£800) |
So, how long would it take to recoup your investment?
We reckon, with a fair wind, it could be done in less than
two weeks, working only two days per week.
