A catered BBQ in Way: what to know
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We cater events of every size in Way. Way is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Way to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Minster Church of England Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. For anyone arriving by rail, Minster station, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the nearest station. The sea is within about 4 miles of Way, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in CT12, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Wayborough Hill and Way Hill; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Way, we cover Mount Pleasant (1 mile north-west), Sevenscore (1 mile south-east), Minster (1 mile west), Acol (1 mile north-west) and Cliffs End (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (4 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles east), Broadstairs (5 miles east) and Whitstable (13 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Westwood Cross (3.1 miles north-east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (3.5 miles east). The countryside around Way includes Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Local pubs include The Bell Inn (0.9 miles south-west)
BBQ catering in Way, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Way: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We’re frequently asked to cater team days and staff summer parties and leaving parties, serving BBQ ribs, sausages and coleslaw.
Country barbecues near Way are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. In Way, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.

What affects the price in Way
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
Take a look at our prices page or menu ideas for your barbecue.
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, with salad or in a roll.
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
