Christmas parties in Ore: local tips
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Ore. Ore is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Ore to Brighton (about 32 miles away).
If a church like Christ Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Ore station, about 0.8 miles south-west. The coast is within about 2 miles of Ore, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

From Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Ore questions
How far is Ore from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.

Mix and match: turkey and pork together. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Parking near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast turkey
- Roast potatoes
- Salads
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
