How our wedding hog roast works in Longford
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and home weddings, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Longford, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Longford, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

How to prepare

For event organisers in Longford
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Longford?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Full catering or machine hire?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Power for lights in the evening
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
