Caterer for a party of 50 at home

Does anyone have a recommendation for a caterer to do a drinks party for 50 - 60 people in our home just of the Northcote Road. We are thinking canapes or sliders as opposed to small bowls but flexible. We will want waiting staff too. Any suggestions or people to avoid much appreciated.
