Location catering around Elmer
Elmer is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Planning a hog roast for the crew in Elmer? We cover the whole area. Elmer is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Elmer to Brighton (about 21 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, Ford station, about 2.9 miles north-east, is the nearest station. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
We cover shoots in every part of PO22 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Elmer Road, Ancton Lane and East Avenue, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For shoots just outside Elmer, we cover Middleton-on-Sea (1 mile west), Bilsham (1 mile north), Atherington (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles north-west) and Horsemere Green (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (9 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles west), Chichester (8 miles north-west), Selsey (9 miles south-west), Littlehampton (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (15 miles east).

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
