Pig Size & Headcount Planner Request Form

A pig size planner template — guest numbers, appetite and serving style, so you can advise the right roast size.

Description

“What size pig do we need?” is the question every hog roast client asks, and the honest answer is “it depends” — on the headcount, the appetite and how it’s served. This planner request gathers exactly those variables so you can come back with a confident recommendation instead of a guess, and the client feels looked after rather than upsold. It asks whether the roast is a main meal or evening food, whether guests are getting rolls or a full plate, and what else is on the table alongside it — because a pig feeding a hundred as the main event is a very different animal to one doing evening baps after a sit-down meal. The more the client tells you, the tighter your recommendation and your margin. Use it as a friendly “how much do we need?” page that starts a real conversation. Free, brandable, and built to turn a common question into a booking.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Pig Size & Headcount Planner Request Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

How do you work out the right pig size?

From the headcount, whether it’s a main or evening meal, the serving style and what else is on the menu. This form captures all of that so you can advise accurately.

Will I be over- or under-catered?

The whole point of the planner is to avoid both — the recommendation is based on real appetite and serving style, not a one-size-fits-all rule.

Does serving style change the quantity?

Yes — rolls after a meal need far less than a plated main. The form asks so the recommendation fits how you’re actually serving.

Can you plan for mixed appetites?

Yes — there’s room to describe the crowd and the rest of the menu, so the recommendation reflects your actual event.

Is this a booking?

It’s a planning request that starts the conversation. Once you’re happy with the recommendation, a booking and deposit secure the date.

Is the template free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account and fully brandable.
