Film set catering for your shoot in Lumley
Crews in Lumley work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater farm and estate locations and unit base lunches.
Rural locations near Lumley can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Lumley
Could you cook in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, it’s a relaxed way to finish. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Shooting in Lumley: unit bases and access
Lumley is about 1 mile east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. We bring a hog roast for the crew to shoots anywhere in Lumley, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Lumley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Lumley to Southampton (about 21 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (1.6 miles west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. Lumley is about 58 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
We cover shoots in every part of the PO10 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Lumley Road and Northlands Park, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Lumley, we also cover Emsworth (1 mile west), Westbourne (1 mile north), Southbourne (1 mile east), Woodmancote (1 mile north-east) and Denvilles (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (12 miles east), Chichester (7 miles east), Selsey (10 miles south-east), Portfield (7 miles east), Yapton (14 miles east) and East Wittering (7 miles south-east).
A little further out are Warblington Castle (1.6 miles west) and Emsworth Museum (within half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Stoke Down and Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Nearby schools include Bourne Community College (0.8 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include Lord Raglan P.H. Pub (less than half a mile south)
