Best food we’ve ever had!

Everything was just more than we could have imagined, we’ve still got people messaging us about how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! We both massively appreciated the flexibility on the day with timings, and how attentive the staff were for us both on the day. Canapés were brought to us first and they also made sure to put pizzas aside for us in the evening as we were rushed off our feet.

A family member was pregnant at the time and with no bother they made sure she was looked after. The vegetarian food was incredible and so much choice (rather than just mushrooms). Overall the staff were so attentive and the food was just incredible!

Outstanding Caterers and a lovely team!!!

Just a few days after the wedding we have had loads of compliments on how amazing the caterers were. We have such high praise for our experience with Nyama and would very readily recommend them to anyone. I can't stress enough how easy they were to work with, how flexible they were and let alone how good the food itself was!
There is such a selection to choose from and adjusting things to what you want is so easy with Nyama.
Thank you for such an amazing evening - we as a couple are so thankful for the work and effort put into our day. And to top it all off, they gave us such a hearty and sincere goodbye and best wishes at the end.

Wow! Absolutely phenomenal!

Wow, wow, wow!!! The best wedding food we have ever eaten!!! We cannot thank George and his team enough for the amazing food they provided for our wedding, from the sensational canapés, to the mouth watering British bbq, to the delicious evening pizzas! The moment we arrived at Worton Hall, the smell coming from the bbq’s was unbelievable! We have had SO many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was! The buffet style worked perfectly, and the quantity of food was insane!! From our first contact with George, he has been so helpful, and so honest! The value for money is outstanding!!! And he was so helpful at suggesting what he thought would work well. Anytime we emailed we heard back within 48 hours and always felt we could ask any questions! I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for great quality of taste, great quantity of food and great value for money! Nyama were outstanding!!!!

Outstanding service with unique food and flexible menu

We had the most amazing experience with Nyama Catering. We requested an entirely gluten free and vegan menu so that we could both enjoy the same food on our wedding day and Nyama, despite being a primarily meat-based company, produced the highest quality food options. We had nothing but positive comments from our guests and they absolutely transformed their opinion of meat-free food! Thank you so much for being so flexible and accommodating for us!

Wedding Catering Masterclass!!!

We had Nyama at our wedding in June, and we couldn't have asked for better service all round. They provided both our catering and bar service to the highest standard. They set up efficiently, almost disappearing into the background. Then there was the standard of the food the delivered, which was outstanding. Whether it was meat or vegan, we've had outstanding feedback from every single one of our guests who loved the main's and sides equally. The food was cooked beautifully, the best BBQ burger, sausage and chicken combination, I've ever had! The bar service was just as good too. All the drink requests were met, from spirit and mixers to all varieties of cocktails, they even included Margarita's as our wedding special.
Also their staff are incredibly friendly and caring, nothing was too much in all departments.
We cannot rate them high enough, if you haven't booked Nayama yet, get on it now! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you so much Team!

Amazing Caterers!

Words cannot describe how incredible Nyama Catering was at our Wedding. The service and food were both impeccable. We had the American Bar-b-que served as a buffet in the day and Wood fired Pizzas in the evening. All of our guests were so complimentary of the food. The service for drinks both in the day and evening were fantastic. At one point, the bar staff were dragged onto the dance floor and (I think) they actually enjoyed it! We will most definitely be recommending Nyama to EVERYONE! Thank you so much guys.

Complete surprise

We ended up having our original caterers pull out of our wedding just a couple of months before our wedding. We were recommended Nyama by many people associated with our venue and they did not steer us wrong.
Unable to taste the food prior to our wedding day due to covid lock down, we had faith and proceeded.
Canapes were our first taste and they were out of this world. Little did we know what was coming later on. Nyama produced the most amazing food for our wedding that many of our guests had ever tasted. All who ate were full and left savouring the delights of the various flavours and tastes that were on offer. We had to delay serving desert to let people sit and enjoy the meal they had just eaten.
The staff were beyond helpful, polite, professional and most of all incredible at their job. I cannot recommend this catering company highly enough. They will simply stun your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

Excellent experience with Nyama

Nyama catered for our wedding on the 31st August and we were so pleased with their service. They were very responsive before the wedding and also incredibly helpful after a mix up happened on the day. The quality of the food is truly excellent with great choice and we had many compliments from our guests. In addition Nyama provide a full service making sure the day runs smoothly behind the scenes and provided us with a complete tea, coffee, cake cutting and bar service. We would recommend Nyama to anyone.

Sharing plates with great food

We wanted a laid back atmosphere for our wedding. We were keen to have sharing plates but good food was so important to us. We had all of this with Nyama. The whole process was easy right from the start. They were helpful when we needed to make decisions and all our guests absolutely loved the food. George was great in the run up, and the staff on the day were super friendly and helpful.
They were fab and we are so pleased hey we’re with us for our wedding day

Best wedding food ever!

Nyama have been amazing from start to finish - they were super accommodating when we had to change our dates last minute with no complaints & all went seamlessly. The food was INCREDIBLE. We opted for canapes, American BBQ with Brownies & evening food of Hog Roast. Had so so many compliments from guests saying it was the best food they had ever tasted. Lovely team & super professional. Highly recommend & need another excuse to book them now! Thanks guys.

Sooooooo goooooooood!

We booked Nyama for our village fete themed wedding after attending one of their open days - an experience I highly recommend! Initially we were confused about why we had to pay to go to a "sales pitch", but 10 minutes after we had walked in, with a cocktail in hand, hearing about the open bar, pig and lamb roasts, and the pudding buffet, I was convinced! And after we tasted the South African braai canapés, the biggest decision in any DIY wedding was made.

We chose the British BBQ menu, and all I heard all day was that the food was "soooooo goooooood"! We had many people tell our bridesmaids that the food was amazing, and I heard compliments all night. Nyama were conscientious and thorough, and every element of the service was of the highest standard. The atmosphere of the bbq cooking enhanced our drinks reception and the buffet style was well received and well reviewed! When mum and I went over to say thank you towards the end of service, we met the sight of our copious leftovers being neatly packed up in boxes, ready to go into the fridge - these were later enthusiastically received by our evening guests!

Essentially, Nyama were exactly what we had been looking for in a caterer. They were local, they were fun, and pragmatically speaking they were cheap! I was thrilled with the service we received, they were entirely accomodating of everything we asked - even the last minute addition of a vegan guest was met with a "no problem!".

I think the best recommendation I can give is that twice, on the day, when asking friends about the food, I heard from not yet engaged men, "What's the name of the caterers? We should look into these guys!"
