Venue Setting

Longueville’s beautiful house was built in 1720, the house is embellished with ornate Italian-designed ceilings, a marble dining-room mantelpiece featuring a relief of Neptune in his chariot, rare, inlaid mahogany doors, and an unusual, full-height bifurcating staircase. Longueville House is elegantly situated in undulating parkland and is approached from the east by a curving avenue over an arched limestone bridge. In earlier years, the estate contained an artificial pond with a decoy, used for catching wild duck up to 1914, when it was outlawed. The majestic group of oak trees on the front field of the house was planted in 1815, to celebrate Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo.

The estate also contains a 25 acre cider apple orchard used to produce on-site a medium-dry artisan cider, some which is double distilled into a remarkably delicious apple brandy cider spirit.

Celebration Locations
Turner Conservatory:
A large, curved glass room, (designed by Richard Turner in 1865, the finest ironmaster and glasshouse designer of the Victorian era), seats a maximum of 76 Guests spread over nine tables and because of the under-floor heating system, can be used year round. Light and bright, stylishly decorated and lit by candle and soft fairy lights.
- View: This room has magnificent views overlooking The Blackwater Valley. It's as close as one gets to dining outdoors here in Ireland
- Max Capacity: 76
Presidents' Room:
A fine, elegant room which links with centre point Adams marble fireplace depicting Neptune, seats a maximum of 34 Guests at two long tables. It is named after the family collection of specially commissioned portraits of Ireland's past Presidents. Some of these past Presidents still visit us today. The room is stylishly decorated in soft shades of taupes and toffees on the walls and fabrics.
- View: Tall Georgian windows and a southern aspect make it bright, airy and warm.
- Max Capacity: 34
The Chinese Room:
Our Chinese Room stunningly and richly decorated in Golds and Royal Reds, seats 18 Guests at a large rectangular table. It borrows it’s name from a custom practiced in the Big House in the 18th century when the owners travelled abroad on a ‘grand tour’ and purchased souvenirs to decorate their homes.
- View: This gorgeous room overlooks the Palladian Court yard at the rear of the house.
- Max Capacity: 18
The Library:
Our Library seats 14 Guests at one large table or two narrower tables of eight Guests. It is located next to The Presidents' Room and is beautifully decorated in tones of heritage green, with black Kilkenny marble fireplace, gilt mirrors, two specially commissioned Mahagony book cases housing hundreds of books, oil portraits of historical characters and pretty china plateware on the walls. This makes it a much sought after private dining space and a favourite of the O'Callaghan family too.
- View: This intimate room has soft warm light from it's southerly direction overlooking the beautiful Blackwater Valley.
- Max Capacity: 16

Food, Restaurants, Cafes:

At the heart of Longueville is The Presidents' Restaurant with a home grown menu offering the freshest produce from our walled garden and farm.

Chef/Proprietor William O'Callaghan and right hand man James Cullinane are at the centre of this field-to-fork ethos here and is the driving force behind its working farm, extensive gardens and distillery, ensuring all this precious produce comes to the table. 

In Longueville we are very proud of the fact that most of our precious produce hails from and lovingly grown in our three-acre Walled Kitchen Garden or foraged from the boundary hedgerows that surround our 450 acre estate. Seasonal vegetables, oriental greens, herbs and much of the summer and autumn fruit are grown here and in poly-tunnels on the east side of the house. Our walled kitchen garden truly is the beating heart of Longueville, worthwhile investigating and carefully toiled by a dedicated team of gardeners. There you may meet Head Gardener Anthony who will enthusiastically inform how our menu changes by the day depending on what he deems to be in excellent condition. What cannot be grown in our kitchen garden will be sourced within a 20-mile radius, and the beautiful Blackwater Valley has no shortage of local artisan suppliers. This is a truly genuine way of running our kitchen and centrepoint to our uncomplicated cooking ethos with emphasis squarely on fresh, clean flavours.

An army of ducks patrol the walled garden keeping the slugs at bay. 
Busy Longueville bees live in the orchards producing honey for the house and free range hens lay fresh eggs daily. 
Longueville House is and has been self-sufficient for a very long time - way before it became the trend.

There is also a 25-acre cider apple orchard from which two excellent craft apple ciders are produced - Longueville House Cider and Longueville House Cider Mor (aged in oak brandy casks). In addition, a double distillation Apple Brandy is made from some of this cider, known as Longueville House Apple Brandy, made in the Calvados style. These superior quality artisan beverage products are available in our bar and restaurant and for sale on site, nationwide and beyond. A new addition to this suite of beverages is our Longueville House Apple Cider Vinegar boasting so many health benefits.

Much of the meat and game served in our Restaurant, is reared on-site or shot locally. So free range woodland pork, spring lamb, woodcock, snipe, pheasant & duck come straight from the estate on to your plate when in season.
Fresh River Salmon and Brown Trout, caught in The Blackwater River flowing through the estate, are proudly displayed on Silver Trays and delicately cooked for our Guests to enjoy during the fishing season.
