The business traces its origins to 1750, when the Altland House tavern was established on the corner of the square in Abbottstown, making it one of the longest continually operating taverns in the United States. The property was originally granted by William Penn to Mr. Abbott, and it received one of the first liquor licenses issued in the state. In 1880, Rueben Altland purchased the property, and in the 1950s, the Haugh family took over its operation. Today, it remains a three-generation family business, with Ben and Ryan Haugh leading the catering division. The company emphasizes care, attention to detail, and a deep-rooted connection to the community, values passed down through generations. Chef Matt, who began working at the age of 15, serves as the lead chef, and the team continues to uphold the legacy established by Grandma Betty and Grandma Dot.

The business operates from a location on Center Square in Hanover, PA, situated within a historic district.
