Altland House Catering

Altland House Catering is a catering company in Hanover, PA, serving weddings, events, and gatherings with offsite wedding packages and full event planning. The business carries a 5.00 rating from the customers who have reviewed it.

The kitchen traces its roots to a tavern started in 1750, described as the longest continually running tavern in the United States, which has stood on the corner of the square since before Abbottstown was officially founded. William Penn granted the land to Mr. Abbott, and the tavern soon received one of the first liquor licenses issued in the state. Rueben Altland purchased it in 1880, and the Haugh family took over in the 1950s. It remains a three-generation family business, with Ben and Ryan Haugh now at the helm. Their lead chef, Matt, started at age 15 pushing a vegetable cart and has been with the operation for years. The team serves 300 to 800 people a day, and the family credits its staff with making that volume possible. Hospitality, care, and attention to detail remain the values the family points to, carried forward from Grandma Betty's foundation and the generations who chopped vegetables in the same kitchen before them.

The business sits on Center Square in Hanover, a short walk from the Battle of Hanover memorial. Baltimore Street, Broadway, Frederick Street, and Carlisle Street all run within steps of the square.

A 5.00 rating reflects how customers regard the catering, and the operation behind it has been feeding people from the same corner of the square for generations.
