Border Jerk: Hanover’s Jerk Legend

​

A short drive from The Crown, Border Jerk is a beloved local hotspot known far and wide for serving what many consider the best jerk on Jamaica’s west coast. Perched right on the border of Hanover and Westmoreland, this rustic, family-run gem draws in everyone from countryside locals to curious travelers with its smoky aromas and bold, unforgettable flavor.

The menu is simple and iconic—jerk chicken, jerk pork, festival, and all the classic sides—slow-cooked over native pimento wood for that unmistakable island taste. Pair your plate with a chilled bottle of Ting or a cup of sorrel-ginger juice, and don’t skip the golden, slightly sweet festival—crisp on the outside, soft inside, and perfect for soaking up the heat.

Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or soaking in the energy of the local scene, Border Jerk delivers a true taste of tradition. Ask us how to get there—we’ll happily help you plan your flavor-filled detour.
