Hog roast hire for your event in Jarvis Brook
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is weddings and receptions and sports clubs and societies, we can cook hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes.
In a hamlet or village like Jarvis Brook, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Parking near the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why choose a hog roast in Jarvis Brook?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What affects the price in Jarvis Brook
The price comes down to:

- How many people are eating
