Location catering around Doleham
Doleham is about 4 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We’re happy to travel to Doleham for shoots and the places nearby. We cover 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Doleham to Canterbury (32 miles away).
Within reach of Doleham are historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (3.9 miles north-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. Doleham is roughly 50 miles from central London. With the sea within about 5 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
Wherever your shoot is in TN35, we can bring the roaster to you. Whether your shoot is on Doleham Lane and Doleham Close or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Other places close to Doleham we cover include Three Oaks (1 mile south-east), Broadland Row (2 miles north-east), Broad Street (2 miles east), Broad Oak (2 miles north) and Udimore (3 miles north-east).

How our film set catering works in Doleham
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for lunch at base and long shoot days.
For a shoot in a place like Doleham, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Access agreed with locations
- A named contact at base
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
