Green Fig Catering Company is a small family-run company established by partners John & Jo Crittenden, committed to providing real food throughout East Sussex.
Basically we’re nuts about food! We’re proper foodies with a focus on simple but delicious tastes, attention to detail and a friendly, approachable manner.
No Michelin stars (yet!), but we do know how to organise a successful event, as well as cater for it. We go the extra mile to ensure all aspects are covered, from planning the menu to producing it on the day.
Working with professionalism and integrity and always striving to improve, we take every care in not only meeting – but exceeding your expectations.
But don’t just take our word for it – have a look at our hundreds of testimonials, as well as our Google and Facebook reviews!
