What we like about them

If you’re looking for a local Surrey catering company, then can we suggest you consider Lavender Catering. The business is based in the Surrey Hills and owned and run by Executive Head Chef, Melanie Williams, who offers a turnkey catering and events service helping to create memorable events. 

The in-house team, carefully chosen for their professionalism and passion, ensure that every event is managed with precision and panache. From the moment guests arrive until the last one leaves, Lavender Catering promises a seamless, timely, and budget-friendly experience.

What sets Lavender Catering apart is not just their delicious (locally sourced) menus but their network of preferred suppliers offering a comprehensive event management service. Their own exceptional team, includes sous chefs, waiting staff, bartenders, baristas, and a front-of-house team - all there to support Melanie. But Lavender Catering are also happy to lean on their network of end-to-end event planners and stylists, so you can ensure that every aspect of your event, from sumptuous food to linen, crockery, glassware, and cutlery, is meticulously taken care of.

What we also loved about the company was Lavender Catering's commitment to sustainability. With food waste at the forefront of their mind, they have set themselves their  '25 Mile Radius Challenge,' where they source food and produce within a 25-mile radius of their kitchen, promoting sustainable cooking and minimising their environmental impact. Moreover, their commitment to donating excess edible catering food to local shelters and working with the ‘toogoodtogo’ initiative ensures a zero landfill waste that demonstrates their socially responsible approach. 

The catering services extend across a diverse range of occasions, including corporate events, birthdays, family gatherings, team-building days, and celebration of life catering. Each menu is bespoke, tailored to specific requirements, showcasing culinary creativity and attention to dietary needs.

For our needs, Lavender Catering absolutely ticked all our boxes, as well as a reliable and passionate partner who put our wants first. Their attention to detail, commitment to sustainability, and a diverse range of services make them a standout choice for anyone seeking top-notch event catering in the Surrey Hills and across London. Whether it's a corporate meeting, family celebration, or a wedding, Lavender Catering adds the perfect touch of flavour, style, and professionalism.
