I am now celebrating 35 years as a Caterer, this has been very rewarding period of my life, giving me great satisfaction knowing every event is special. I generally bespoke every menu and, often producing recipes personally for my clients. I am the main influence of all my catering events and will be seen back of house in my apron! I am supported by my husband Jon and daughters, Stefanie, Lucinda

and Olivia who all have their own roles within the business. Lucinda works closely with me and has become a very important part of the business taking the next generation to a different level. She is an excellent cook, with a total natural ability giving great culinary artist flair. It seems a long time ago, starting just in my kitchen at home with my three small children, producing and selling my products at local indoor craft markets, it was during that time in my life I actually created my signature dishes, which I am still producing today, Homemade Pies, Quiches, various types of cakes. Over the past years I have always kept food ideas and styles up to date, my basic technique of home style cooking or as a great friend of mine always says “cooking from the heart” and using the best possible ingredients has always been the key to our success. I am also mindful using and supporting local produce and businesses. I am very fortunate to live in Great Bookham in Surrey and there is a wealth of great suppliers, with excellent butchers, a fish monger, a bakery and a greengrocer all of which are family businesses who care. I am now proud to present our Show Room, which is in Great Bookham, where potential clients can visit us, see our portfolio and more importantly plan part or all of their special catering event, however big or small, everyone is individual and special to us. The menus are only an idea to give a price structure, when you are browsing through them and everyone can be adapted. I eagerly write my own recipes and you will find many of my recipes on the website, I have also written for local magazines, occasionally broadcast on local radio and apparently pop up on cbeebies a children’s programme, as puzzled cook producing bizarre things from the kitchen! At the moment I am at the finishing stages of writing my cookery biography, which spans the last 30 years. I look forward to meeting you. Elizabeth Treliving

Memorial Hot Buffet in Oxshott

Hello Elizabeth,

My family and I would like to thank you so much for the excellent food and service you and your staff provided for my husband's funeral last Thursday. Everyone who attended has commented very favourably on the excellent food, so thank you very much indeed.

I had upped the numbers to 45 but in the end only 37 were able to attend. Having a few large lads coming back to my home afterwards the left over goodies were appreciated.

Hi Elizabeth

Thank you so much for helping us host a wonderful event this past weekend. Your food was delicious and your staff did an amazing job behind and in front of the scenes - they thought of every opportunity to make this a special day for us and the organisation easier. Everything ran like clockwork and was perfectly tidied away again at the end.

We very much look forward to working with you again in the future.

Best wishes

Jennifer

Dear Elizabeth and Lucinda,

Yesterday was absolutely fabulous. Everybody raved about the food, and they must have enjoyed it as there wasn't that much left over. The service all the team provided was so excellent too. We couldn't have been happier.

Thank you so much for making it such a special day for us.

Elizabeth recently catered for the wonderful celebration of my mother’s life, held in the garden of the family home. We were surrounded by family and friends on a beautiful day.
Her food included a lovely choice of well filled sandwiches, chicken skewers, sausage rolls, small sweet pasties and cakes plus beautiful scones -all so fresh and absolutely delicious.
Her three staff were second to none, working well together, aware of how we had planned the afternoon and unobtrusively enabling all of it. Together they looked after and supported us perfectly, accommodating any timing alterations, washed and tidied up, leaving us with nothing to do when they had gone.
None of us would have any hesitation in recommending Elizabeth and her team, and it wouldn’t surprise me if local guests ‘use’ her again. We were all very impressed indeed.

We were absolutely delighted to find Elizabeth. She provided an amazing catering service for our wedding reception, including delicious canapés and a dinner menu that thoughtfully respected our halal requirements.

Elizabeth could tell we needed some guidance when it came to choosing the right type of meal, and she talked us through various options with such patience and care. She was incredibly flexible, happily tweaking her menu suggestions to accommodate some fussy eaters in our family as well as other dietary requirements.

She also went above and beyond by helping with table settings and arranging staff to serve on the day. Communication with her was excellent throughout, she took initiative, managed the wedding venue, and independently sorted out everything she needed to ensure the catering ran smoothly.

We honestly don’t know how we would have got through the day without her support. Thank you so much Elizabeth - you made a huge difference, and we’re so grateful!

Thank you so very much for Saturday. Your staff were wonderful.. efficient and unflappable.. and our guests all loved the food! There were no leftovers at all, which speaks volumes about how good it was.

Our Story

I am now celebrating 34 years as a Caterer, this has been very rewarding period of my life, giving me great satisfaction knowing every event is special. I generally bespoke every menu and, often producing recipes personally for my clients. I am the main influence of all my catering events and will be seen back of house in my apron! I am supported by my husband Jon and daughters, Stefanie, Lucinda and Olivia who all have their own roles within the business. Lucinda works closely with me and has become a very important part of the business taking the next generation to a different level. She is an excellent cook, with a total natural ability giving great culinary artist flair. It seems a long time ago, starting just in my kitchen at home with my three small children, producing and selling my products at local indoor craft markets, it was during that time in my life I actually created my signature dishes, which I am still producing today, Homemade Pies, Quiches, various types of cakes. Over the past years I have always kept food ideas and styles up to date, my basic technique of home style cooking or as a great friend of mine always says “Cooking from the Heart” and using the best possible ingredients has always been the key to our success. I am also mindful using and supporting local produce and businesses. I am very fortunate to live in Great Bookham in Surrey and there is a wealth of great suppliers, with excellent butchers, a fish monger, a bakery and a greengrocer all of which are family businesses who care. I am now proud to present our Show Room, which is in Great Bookham, where potential clients can visit us, see our portfolio and more importantly plan part or all of their special catering event, however big or small, everyone is individual and special to us. The menus are only an idea to give a price structure, when you are browsing through them and everyone can be adapted. I have now started travelling to different countries and joining in on works shops worldwide to develop different ideas and flavours constantly. As we caterers we don't just to keep to old favourites but introduce new ideas. Sitting in my Shop watching Bookham so many new menu ideas evolve. I eagerly write my own recipes and you will find many of my recipes on the website, I have also written for local magazines, occasionally broadcast on local radio and apparently pop up on cbeebies a children’s programme, as puzzled cook producing bizarre things from the kitchen! Something I did a few years ago.

I look forward to meeting you. Elizabeth Treliving Mobile 07712760175
