Summit Catering has been servicing South Jersey residents for over 25 years.

A European- trained chef, Richard worked in many of South Jersey’s trendiest and most upscale restaurants as head chef. When he decided to marry and start a family, Richard began catering “on the side” to help finance his ever-growing family.

Dory, the youngest of seven children, began working with her father as soon as she could reach over a buffet table and serve from a chafing dish.

Joe and Dory’s children.

While in college, Dory met her future husband, Joe, who immediately expressed an interest in the food industry. Joe became Richard’s apprentice, and soon delighted in creating culinary creations of his own. After marrying in 1993, Joe and Dory took all of their hard-earned savings and decided to open Summit Catering.

“Too many caterers simply look at their clients as dollar signs, we look at our clients as people. We want our customers to come back to us again and again!”


“We really wanted to have a catering company that cares.”

That philosophy has worked. Summit Catering has a broad customer base. We service many of our corporate clients on a daily basis.

These are large corporations who can go just about anywhere, they choose Summit!

Summit Catering also has many private party clients who utilize their services several times a year, as well as their brides and grooms who use Summit for their engagement parties, showers, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, and next day brunches. Customers who go to Summit Catering’s West Berlin Showroom have the opportunity to view page after page of thank you cards from clients raving about Summit’s delicious food and exceptional service.
