About our party hog roast in Longford
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For wedding anniversaries and neighbourhood parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce for your guests.
Country parties near Longford suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Longford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
