So just to give me an idea. If u were doing pulled pork for 25 and was providing pork,buns, sauce what would be a good price.

Isn't retail pricing generally double what you, the caterer has paid for the supplies?
You also have to factor in your production time, travel, set-up/tear-down and staff(if any) as well as your skill and expertise should count for something. |

cooked weight and multiply your costs by 3, adjust if you'd like or need to as to region or competition..

Need more information, are they picking up the product, are you delivering and how far, are you serving on a buffet line, etc.?

Take your meat cost, add $1-$3 to cover seasoning and incidentals, multiply by 3.
ie...$8 cost + $3 seasoning, sauce, buns and wrap X 3 = $33.

Remember when figuring meat cost that there is a loss of weight in cooking. Conventional wisdom says 60% or so yield from raw to cooked. So if your cost raw is $1 your cooked cost is actually $1.66.
