Christmas parties in Nonington: local tips
Nonington is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Nonington. Nonington is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Nonington Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Nonington, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Anywhere in CT15, we can bring the roaster to you. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Vicarage Lane, St Mary's Close and Park View Rise, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Snowdown (1 mile south-west), Frogham (1 mile south), Ratling (1 mile north-west), Chillenden (1 mile north-east) and Barfrestone (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (7 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (7 miles south-east), Folkestone (10 miles south), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Nonington
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Nonington: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We are often asked to cater winter fairs and markets and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
Near Nonington, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Nonington: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Nonington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast turkey
- Roast potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By about 3:50pm in late December, Nonington is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day

For event organisers in Nonington
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why choose a hog roast in Nonington?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
