Hi, Rosa. In order to make a good estimate, I need a few more details.

Is this standing rib roast, shoulder roast, steamship round or "sunday roast" style chuck roast, like Cracker Barrel?
Is this self serve or plated? If self serve, will someone be slicing and serving the meat?
Is it a paid event? People eat more, especially beef, if they have paid for it.
Will there be a dessert?

Day of, this would require a minimum of 6 cooks in the kitchen and 12 people out front to set up, serve, and clean up.4-6 ovens.

Write back. No need to double post.
