How many pounds of pulled pork for 150 people?
A serving of pork is about 4 ounces, so you’d need about 37.5 pounds of pork to provide one serving per person. If you’re serving it up as a buffet, you should be prepared with some extra, since buffets often encourage people to eat more than they really should, so I’d probably lay in 45-50 pounds. If you’ve got a second meat item, you may be able to cut that amount in half, but again, if people are serving themselves they’re likely to make 4-ounce servings of BOTH the pork and the other item.

Being a transplanted Texan living in New York for over forty years, I just loved pulled pork!! Can I come to the wedding?? Seriously though, I would figure on one half pound a person.

Your wedding sounds like it is going to fun and not stuffy. Are you also having “Green Beer” or is that only for today?
