About our Christmas hog roast in Lumley
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. For end-of-term celebrations and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Lumley, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Christmas parties in Lumley: local tips
Lumley is about 1 mile east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Lumley suit a hog roast. Lumley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Lumley to Southampton (about 21 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, Emsworth station serves Lumley directly. A Christmas fair at Church of St James is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Where the roaster can go in Lumley
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Vehicle access close by
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

Questions from Lumley
Could you cook in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Lumley?
Lumley has its own station: Emsworth station.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cover Lumley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Lumley and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it is dark in Lumley by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
