About our film set catering in Ore
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. Popular choices include new potatoes, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for long days on set and lunch at base.
Shoots around Ore frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Ore for film and TV crews
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 and the surrounding area. Ore is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Ore to Brighton (32 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, Ore station is about 0.8 miles away. The coast is within about 2 miles of Ore, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will eat.
We bring hog roasts to shoots all over TN35 and TN34 and the streets around it. Local streets include Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater shoots include 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).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Common questions in Ore
Can you roast near the sea around Ore?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Ore close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
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 we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
