Our Story of Success
Durham Catering created to focus on premium quality food and service in all aspects of hospitality
After 30 years in hospitality from beginnings at the five-star Turnberry resort in Ayrshire and a period of front of house management for the swallow hotel group including opening their five star Birmingham hotel, Janet has since focused on her own business, initially at the highly rated Manor House restaurant with rooms near Sheffield and opening Coghlans Cookery School in 2002.
Janet oversees the team of chefs and bakers that makeup Durham Catering and adds her creative styling to both product packaging and presentation. Durham Catering work tirelessly to create that special extra dimension to a dinner party, a large function or the simplest of bread baked daily at the artisan bakery. That same passion for quality has been applied to meals in fields, offering premium lunches on the moors for grouse pheasant and sporting lunches.
Janet is supported by husband Andrew with over 30 years of experience managing in the five-star sector and an experienced broadcaster on his specialist subject of wine and champagne. Durham Catering is an innovative premium catering and hospitality company with a team who are able to respond flexibly to your needs.
