Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in St Helier
Can you do a hog roast in Morden Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Helier?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different; share your list and we will respond.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Travel to St Helier
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December St Helier is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Where the roaster can go in St Helier
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A contact in production
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A covered eating area
As a London location, St Helier is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Why choose a hog roast in St Helier?
