Harolds Catering 

Chef Harold J. Merrill arrived in the Sea Islands In April of 2003.  After managing resort restaurants he saw a need to provide a high quality catering service like the one he ran in New Jersey minus the snow and traffic.  Thanks to those who believed in his culinary artistry (Thanks Mom and Pop) Harold’s has grown to be a flourishing catering operation.  Known to his friends as “H” (too long of a name I guess) Chef Harold cooks the way he eats, top quality ingredients, bold flavors and the art of keeping it simple yet elegant.  A graduate of both Johnson & Whales Culinary School and Farleigh Dickinson University “H” crisscrossed the country working for a Club Operations Company that sent him to “Hot Spots” within their organization to lend some expertise to the situation.  This allowed him to work in many geographic locations such as San Diego, Taos, Nashville and others interesting cities. “H” acquired an understanding and appreciation for Great American Food that he incorporates into the wonderful dishes he prepares.  Whether you are planning a wedding, family reunion, seasonal party or a friendly get together to enjoy food in this beautiful part of the United States Harold’s will work with you to make it a time to remember.

One of the benefits of housing Harold’s Catering within the walls of Harry’s Harbor shop is the extras he makes to offer our clientele.  Our cooler has a wide range of “heat and eat” gourmet meals to go.  Always different always fresh!
