Questions from St Helier
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Helier?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Morden Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is all of Greater London covered?
Greater London is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
About our hog roast hire in St Helier
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and salads, and we are often booked for weddings, day or evening and big birthdays and anniversaries.
London gardens around St Helier are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in St Helier. Around midsummer it stays light in St Helier until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
