The Ulysses Club is a social club for motorcyclists over the age of 40 with over 130 branches across Australia. We were privelliged this week to cater for the wake of their founding member, Stephen Dearnley. Over 200 attended the wake, held in Newport, to celebrate Stephen's life.
It was a big weekend for 40th birthdays with 3 massive parties to cater for in Newport, Seaforth and Collaroy Plateau. One very happy birthday girl remarked that she had a fantastic night relaxing and feeling like a guest at her own party.
Not all our functions this weekend were big ones, we are happy to cater for all functions, large and small. We catered an intimate Sunday lunch for 12 in Palm Beach with our staff being treated to fabulous views over the ocean and Pittwater as they prepared the food.

Happy Australia Day! This Australia Day we had the privilege of catering for Nancye's 90th birthday in Collaroy. Despite the rainy, humid Northern Beaches weather, a wonderful day was had by all with Corella scoring top marks for both our finger food catering and for our food & drink waitstaff!
On a somber note, we were honored this week to cater a wake for the Silver family in Mona Vale. St John's is a beautiful old sandstone Church and it was a pleasure to assist the family by ensuring our staff took care of running the event seamlessly.
Looking forward to seeing all the smiling faces of Bilgola School students when school returns next week!

Hawaiian seems to be a recurring theme for us at the moment! We catered a Hawaiian monthly dinner for Watermark Retirement Village Castle Cove. With a different theme every month, our talented chefs have once again proved they can cater to any type of cuisine with rave reviews from the North Shore residents!
We have had many enquiries this week for film shoot catering around Manly, Avalon and Palm Beach. With such beautiful locations to shoot at around the Northern Beaches area, it should come as no surprise that corporate catering for the film crews is in high demand.

Happy New Year! Back to reality this week with the re-opening of Bilgola Deli Cafe and Corella Catering.

This week was a record for our catering business! We have been booked solid all over the Northern beaches and North Shore all week.
One of our more interesting catering events included having the opportunity to provide finger food for Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards, catering inside the hospital was very interesting!
We also catered for our regular monthly dinner party to Watermark Castle Cove on the North Shore , with a Christmas theme. Our mince tarts and pudding for dessert went down a treat!
A group of hard working Elanora Heights teachers feasted on our canapés to celebrate the end of the school year.
We were very excited to welcome back many of our regular clients on this last weekend before Christmas, providing finger food catering for their year end parties both near and far on the Northern Beaches and North Shore; including Palm Beach, Curl Curl, Collaroy Plateau, Avalon, Mona Vale, Newport, Mosman and Manly.
We also provided catering to a wake at Collaroy Plateau War Vets. The family was very happy with the catering provided, as well as the seamless job done by our staff in ensuring the wake ran smoothly. We have a lot of experience assisting families in arranging catering for wakes and would be pleased to share our expertise at any time.
One of the highlights for the weekend was catering at a private home in Bilgola Plateau for an engagement party. The views over Pittwater, Avalon and Palm Beach in the distance were spectacular and the house was decorated beautifully for the 80 expected guests.
Bilgola Deli experienced record sales of coffee this week as customers took a break from Christmas shopping. We are now one of the biggest customers of our coffee supplier and have received accolades from customers who reckon our coffee is the best on the Northern Beaches... come and try it for yourself!

We had a big variety of catering work on this week as the Christmas sprit came to the Northern Beaches and North Shore! We started the week catering for a function in Bayview in the fairly new Edgewater complex. Next on the cards was a trip outside the Northern Beaches all the way to Castle Hill to cater for the Christmas Party of Hills Family Funerals.
This week saw us complete two catering events in Avalon for the one of our favourite clients, firstly a 21st and secondly for a work Christmas party. This brings our total catering functions to four this year for this client! Another happy Corella Catering customer!
We stepped outside the box this weekend, catering a BBQ at Lane Cove National Park on the North Shore. There was a beautiful buffet for breakfast including bacon & egg rolls, scones with jam & cream, fruit, pastries and much more! If you are planning an event at an outside venue, call on our experience so that you can be a guest at your own party!
The highlight for this week was catering for a wedding at Bilgola Surf Club. The bride was beautiful and we ensured all 101 guests were well fed on the finger food provided. No one goes hungry at one of our events! Bilgola Surf Club is a fantastic venue for all types of events and we are proud to be a caterer of choice at this venue.
The rest of the week consisted of Christmas party catering, birthday parties, a wake and much more. We have proved again that there is no function big or small that we can’t cater for!
During this week we spent some time analysing the responses to our Customer Satisfaction Surveys for the past year. We are pleased to share the news that we had an average Satisfaction rate of 96%! We have learned from the 4% and will be trying for 100% in 2012! Put us to the test for all your catering needs on the Northern Beaches and North Shore!
Week ended Sunday 3rd December 2011.
The week started with a full book of catering events, from our faithful band of existing customers and a whole lot of new customers!
Early in the week were at Collaroy for a function for 18 guests.. it was fantastic to see a perfect afternoon on the Northern Beaches and the hosts relaxed as they enjoyed the catering along with their guests.
Narrabeen Surf Club is a fantastic venue for all types of functions and we are pleased to offer catering services at this beautiful place. In recent times we have catered for a wedding, an engagement party and a birthday party for a wide range of tastes and guests.
Did you know that we are able also attend to your beverage needs? This service is competitively priced and saves time and effort for you on the important day of your event. All beverages are delivered, iced and presented ready for service. Talk to us about how we can be of service!
Bilgola Plateau events were a feature of this week as well. Having been established in the Plateau Road premises for more than 20 years, the “locals” don’t have to travel far to organise the best catering on the Northern Beaches! One of our regular Bilgola customers reckons a week without eating some Corella duck rolls or vegetable frittatas is not worth living.
We also catered for many clients who wanted to reduce costs by taking home our DIY catering. Ready to heat and serve they make you look like a professional chef while saving hours of preparation time. We can organise these packages anywhere on the Northern Beaches or North Shore and each menu can be tailored for your exact needs.
This week we received a special thank you note from a television producer! We recently catered for a television show being filmed on the Northern Beaches! They required food for breakfast, morning tea and lunch all fit for a movie star and we were pleased to exceed their expectations.
