Planning an event in Longford?
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Longford
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We are often asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and society Christmas socials, with hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Near Longford, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Indoor space for eating
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Longford are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
