Common questions in Lumley
What’s the nearest station to Lumley for guests?
Emsworth station, in Lumley itself.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Planning a drinks bar in Lumley
Lumley is about 1 mile east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. Events in Lumley are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Lumley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 21 miles away.
Historic buildings near Lumley often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue. If the service is at a church such as Church of St James, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The coast is within about 6 miles of Lumley. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
