Best wedding food ever!

We had Babaganoush cater our wedding of 140 people last week and couldn't recommend them enough! They provided such a responsive and professional service right from the start. The food was amazing, we had loads of guests say it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Would highly recommend them.

Mouth Watering Experience

Top notch service! Baba Ganoush had it all! They were extremely helpful in all aspects of the planning, from consultation all the way to the wedding day! Charlie was amazing with organising the day and ensuring that the dinner service ran smoothly. The food was exceptional, the beef melted in your mouth and the sticky toffee pudding was to die for! All our guests loved the food and catered to all our needs including a last minute dietary change! Thank you Charlie and the rest of the team! It was truly wonderful!

Amazing food and experience!

To Maisie and the amazing team at Baba Ganoush
We had our wedding day on Saturday 5th October and Baba Ganoush supplied the canapes, 3 course meal, and evening food. The food was AMAZING! All our guests were raving about the canapes and even though there were so many guests (145) the 3 course meal came out quickly and efficiently, and tasted phenomenal! The roaming evening food was amazing – everyone definitely ate more when it was brought to them – and even though we didn’t have any evening food the night of, both Josh and myself had it warmed up the next day and it was soooo good.
Thank you all for everything! I sent a lot of changes through fairly last minute and Maisie and the team just took it in their stride, and everything was perfect!
Much Love
Kelsie and Josh Brown

Amazing service

Baba ganoush were brilliant start to finish, our coordinator grace was so warm, calm, and organised.

For our day, we had canapés that were wandered around, consisting of mini vegan tacos, mini yorkshire puddings, glazed pork belly, and mini shepherds pies (the winners).

Our meal was sharing platters (between 6) consisting of mediterranian chicken breast and thigh, lamb koftas, hasselback potatoes, mixed grilled veg, coleslaw, and some dips. Dessert was either an apple pie, raspberry ripple cheesecake, or vegan eton mess per person. Evening food came out at 8:30pm, and was loaded fries with pulled pork or jackfruit and came around the venue roaming style so everyone had a serving.

As they say, I just wish we could do it all over again! Best day ever.

Amazing service & food!

We chose Baba Ganoush - Dining by Matthew Hyde Ltd as our day time caterers for our wedding last month at Little Wold Vineyard.

We were impressed from the initial conversation by the service and huge choice of options.

We wanted canapes as a starter alternative and then fine dining as a main course.

Once you book Baba Ganoush as your caterer you will be invited to the Canape evening where you get to try most of the canapes offered with complimentary drinks. Such a fantastic evening and great to meet the team.

You will then be invited to try your menu choice (we tried 4 because we couldn't decided based on the menu alone). Again another fantastic evening that we thoroughly enjoyed.

We decided on 5 canapes (we originally picked 3 but added more after tasting them all because they were so delicious) and then chicken & lamb shank for main.

All I can is wow! The portions and flavours were amazing.

My husband and I also had a private canape board after we had finished our group photos which was a really nice personal touch.

For desert, our wedding cake was served on sharing boards with fruit and cream. This was really poplar and made sure no cake went to waste.

A huge thank you to Georgina for helping us plan the day, all the team on the day and everyone at Baba for our wedding gift.

I would 100% recommend Baba Ganoush - Dining by Matthew Hyde Ltd as wedding caterers. Professional, reasonably priced, 5* flavour for food and service.

Thank you for everything.

Amazing food!!

The food Baba Ganoush served for our canapés and wedding breakfast was absolutely amazing! We went for the BBQ sharing feast and some guests said it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. The wait staff were impeccable too!!!!
I would say there were a couple of ‘admin slip-ups’ from Baba Ganoush along the way in the year/months prior to the wedding but these were all resolved in one way or another.
I would recommend them as a supplier as the food was just incredible!

Incredible food!

Our guests absolutely loved the food from baba ganoush on our wedding day (as did we!). We wanted a sit down meal that was less formal and the sharing boards were such a great option for our day! Plenty of food and tasted incredible. The canapes were also gorgeous! We used baba for our evening food too and loved the roaming aspect of this. Would definitely recommend them for your wedding day!

Epic sharing feast and canapés

It was an amazing day and the food and canapés were spot on. Everything was as, or better, than what we expected! Baba helped create the relaxed and informal atmosphere we had hoped for but with exceptional quality.
We especially appreciated the team ensuring we got our own canapés as we'd heard other wedding couples often go without due to being away with photos etc. We were regularly checked on throughout the day to makes sure everything was going smoothly and we felt in very good hands.
Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the food, wish we could eat it all again!

First class

We used Baba Ganoush for our winter wedding and couldn't have been happier with the service and food we received. The team were incredibly responsive and helpful from the word go. We made a few tweaks to the sharing menu and they were incredibly accommodating for all of our dietary requirements. On the day, Ellie and her team were 10/10. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. We were so happy with how it all turned out and would absolutely recommend them for anyone wanting to have a sharing style meal for their wedding.

The most incredible wedding caterers!

My husband and I were married yesterday, and we hired Baba Ganoush to cater for our wedding. The food that they provided was delicious, we received compliments from many happy guests on the canapes and reception dinner! Our wedding was set in a medieval castle, and they worked with us to create the most grand medieval-style banquet in the castle's Great Hall. The entire experience of working with them was a joy, thanks to their professionalism, flexibility, and promptness with any communications - not to mention the lovely food tasting they offered me, my husband, and the Best Man! We absolutely loved our experience and would 100% recommend these caterers to any engaged couples planning a wedding!
Love, Nina & Cameron

Fabulous pies!

We went for the Yorkshire pie menu which we would absolutely recommend! The canapés and plated starters were all fantastic and presented beautifully. Loaded fried were a real hit for later on in the evening too - we got compliments from all our guests on the food!

Baba really excelled however on how flexible they were to people in our party with dietary requirements, be that an allergy, intolerance or preference they were exceptionally accommodating meaning we did not have to sorry about all of our guest receiving the same experience and having something wonderful to eat - a big thank you to Ashley and the team! xx

Amazing food and generous portions

Baba Ganoush provided the catering for our wedding and we couldn't have wished for better food. Everything was cooked to perfection and we had great feedback from all of our guests - there were definitely no leftovers, despite the generous portions! There were a few changes happening in the company during the time that we used them, which meant that we had a couple of different co-ordinators - however, they were all lovely and listened to everything that we wanted to make our day special. Thank you :)
