British BBQ Society Forums

I've been asked to cook pulled pork for someones wedding and one thing that i'm a little unsure of is how many pork shoulders would need to cook?

If i was to base this on each pork shoulder weighing in at around 8lbs how many would i need for say 100 people?

Try this from the BBQ Brethren, seems fairly comprehensive to me and stacks up to what I have done previously as a chef

When I've cooked for events in the past I've figured on 1/2lb uncooked weight per person.

Ed, text your number to me @07809 713391 and I'll call you also re. transport to a'dam

Cheers John, also great to hear someone else will be helping to represent the UK over in Holland

Good luck to all representing the UK & this forum

1 shoulder per person, I reckon mate.
