About Us.png

HISTORY

Founded as a family business in 1928, Ridgewells Catering and its family of brands has grown to become the premier caterer & hospitality company in the DC area,

and has an extensive list of social and corporate clients, most of whom have been customers for many years. Ridgewells founded Haute Catering by Ridgewells in December 2002, dedicated to providing catering at the US Capitol. In addition to our contract operations, we also offer social catering services to our clients. They include weddings, receptions, breakfasts and lunches – virtually any event that requires extraordinary food and service.

In 2007, Haute Catering expanded our operations with the formation of CapitolHost, a division in the U.S. Capitol that is solely dedicated to providing catering services at that site. We also have partnered in recent years with the Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) and OTG Management. Our NEXCOM partnership further expanded to include the Pentagon Library and Conference Center. Our services at this location include scheduling and room reservations, logistics, in-house catering, and managing the cafés for employees and visitors.

WHAT SETS US APART

The largest difference between Haute Catering and our competitors, is our location. Our ownership and all of our senior leadership members live in the Washington, D.C. metro area, and are able to provide a hands-on, personal approach to meet the needs of our clients. All decisions are made locally, avoiding prolonged or delayed responses. Each member of our senior management team is committed to supporting all business units through active involvement and timely decision-making. While Haute Catering specializes in corporate catering and logistics, it further differentiates itself through the support it receives from Ridgewells Catering.
