How our BBQ catering works in Ore
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Ore, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and sports clubs and team events, we can cook chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs and more.
In a place like Ore, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

What else we do in Ore
Ore barbecues: local tips
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Events in Ore are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Ore is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 32 miles away.
A green space like Speckled Wood is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. For guests coming by train, Ore station is about 0.8 miles away. With the coast within about 2 miles of Ore, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Anywhere in TN35 and TN34, we can bring the barbecue to you. That could mean an event in a garden on Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue. If your venue is just outside Ore, we also cover Bachelor's Bump (1 mile north-east), Guestling (2 miles north-east), Fairlight (2 miles east), Friar's Hill (2 miles north-east) and Guestling Green (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (15 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles west), Hailsham (15 miles west), St Leonards (3 miles south-west), Upper Horsebridge (15 miles west) and Langney (14 miles west).
A little further out are Hastings Castle (1.5 miles south-west) and Conquest Hospital (2 miles north-west). Open spaces near Ore include Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
- Nearby schools include Hastings Academy (0.6 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include Old King John pub (less than half a mile north-east)
What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, and served in a soft roll.
How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. At midsummer, it is light in Ore until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Questions from Ore
Can you do a barbecue in Speckled Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far is Ore from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
