Way in December: what to know
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Way, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cater 922 places in Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Way to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Minster station, about 0.9 miles south-west. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Minster Church of England Primary School, suit a hog roast. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Wherever your Christmas party is in CT12, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Wayborough Hill and Way Hill; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Way, we also 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).
A little further out are Westwood Cross (3.1 miles north-east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (3.5 miles east). Open spaces near Way include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Way
Can you roast near the sea around Way?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Way from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Light by the serving table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs

We pack up whatever the weather.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- Our staff serve and clear
See our pricing or the cost guide.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Way in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
