How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late May, sunset in Jarvis Brook is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Other occasions in Jarvis Brook
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Jarvis Brook questions
How far is Jarvis Brook from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A safe distance from other traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
