About Us

Rooted in family.
Driven by great food.

For over 45 years, T&L Catering has been proudly serving our community as a trusted, family-owned and operated catering company. What began in 1977 as a small operation has grown into one of the area's largest off-premise catering services, offering everything from elegant wedding catering and corporate events to backyard BBQs and seasonal celebrations. In 2003, we proudly became the home of the New Leon's Catering, another family-owned business with a history of excellence dating back to 1960.

At T&L Catering, we believe that great events start with great food. That's why we prepare every dish with the finest ingredients, bringing the same attention to quality and detail to everything we do—whether it's a casual picnic or a formal sit-down dinner. As a full-service catering company, we specialize in making event planning stress-free by offering one-stop solutions, including tent and party rentals, banquet hall locations, and personalized support to ensure your event is seamless and unforgettable.

Let us bring our family's passion for food, service, and hospitality to your next event!

What our clients say

★★★★★

"Where do we even start? Tom and crew made sure our wedding was special from start to finish. From our tasting to our wedding day, service definitely exceeded our expectations. We are foodies and weren't sure a buffet dinner would be the right fit for us, but our guests agreed the food was top-notch!"

Kyler Coutts
★★★★★

"There's not enough words to describe the wonderful job and excellent service provided by Tom and his team from T&L catering. Our event was held at the James Ward Mansion in Westfield NJ. From the time of our first contact with T&L to the day of our event, the level of service and professionalism was top class."

★★★★★

"T&L Caterers did an amazing job with our company luncheon. This marks the second year that we have used them at our company, although I have personally used their catering services in the past. And as always, their food and their service are amazing! Thank you, T&L Caterers!"
