Locally owned catering,
built on quality, care, and connection.

  • Long Pine Hospitality is a locally owned catering and food service team that cares a lot about good food and strong community. We love working with schools, fraternities, and local organizations to make meals easy, reliable, and enjoyable. Being local matters to us, and we take pride in showing up for the people and places right here in our community.

  • Long Pine started with simple catering jobs and a goal to just do good work and take care of people. Over time, that grew into private school food services, and eventually into catering for fraternities and larger events. Every step of the way, growth came from building relationships and earning trust, and a lot of word of mouth from people who believed in what we were doing.

  • We’re excited about growing and expanding, but our heart will always stay with our local community. No matter how big we get, we want to keep the same personal, hands-on approach that got us started.

    We’re focused on continuously improving , serving more people, and staying true to where we came from.
