About us
We can cater for any event or occasion, from small to large, simple to elaborate, in your home, garden or any location of your choice.
Our food is always freshly prepared and locally sourced, with a choice of menus and prices offering both affordability and flexibility.
The Crown Catering Co is run by Penny and James Middleton Burn who also own the The Crown Inn, in the village of Dial Post, West Sussex. Opposite the village green, the pub has a strong and well-established reputation for the excellent quality of its homemade food.
Creative Director and celebrated chef James, for many years travelled the world combining his love of skiing with his love of cooking. He eventually settled in Sussex, was instrumental in the development of gastro pubs in the county and formed a passion for Sussex people and Sussex life.
Supporting local farmers and producers, James prepares seasonally evolving dishes ranging from the classic to the innovative. The outside catering arm has been a natural progression of the business due to the demand for James’s food, a talented team of chefs and a state of the art kitchen all in place.
On the organisational side is Penny, fourth generation of a local farming family, who has a varied background in events and hospitality. Her family have an historic and current involvement in the business as her grandparents owned the same village pub in the late 60s and early 70s, and sister Jo rears pigs and lambs that eventually end up in the kitchens…
