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.

Flawless from Start to Finish – Thank You, Baba Ganoush

From the very first email, we knew we were in the best hands with Baba Ganoush to cater our wedding on 24th May. Their warmth, professionalism and genuine passion for what they do shone through at every stage. From the planning, canapé welcome evening, tasting afternoon, right through to our wedding day itself.

We decided to have sharing starters and mains to reflect the close intermit feel we wanted for our wedding day. Baba managed to do just that with our menu and it brought everyone together.

Emma and the team made the experience truly special. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Their calm, can-do approach gave us so much confidence and peace of mind. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our special day.

Amazing, beyond amazing!!

Baba Ganoush were superb from start to finish. All staff were incredibly friendly, polite and professional - supporting me and my now husband in our food choices, what options would work best and also giving advice to help guests with food allergies. The taster sessions for canapés and the full meal were beyond delicious. The portions are excellent and the food is mouth watering delicious!! Everyone of our wedding guests commented on how tasty and well presented our wedding breakfast food was - some guest even stole the extra portions from where a guest hadn’t turned up to the event as it was such good food!! I highly recommend using this company, if you want amazing food and superb customer service that takes the stress away from wedding food planning then look no further. Big shout out to Georgie for being so helpful! Thank you!!

Would highly recommend!

Baba Ganoush were amazing, professional and yet laid back we always felt at ease. They were open to mix things up across menus and take on board anything we wanted to tweak to make our day perfect. Georgie looked after us amazingly supporting me in the lead up and checking in on the day to make sure we hadn’t missed any canopies and that everything was going as we’d hoped. Couldn’t recommend more if you’re looking for suppliers who make you feel warm, welcomed & calm on your big day!

Best wedding food ever!

We can't fault Babaganoush at all! From initial enquiry to the day itself, Georgina and Rebecca were just great! And the food was second to none - so many guests commented on how delicious it was and the best wedding food they'd ever tasted. On the day Rebecca was super helpful and her and her team just got on with it all seamlessly.

A wedding menu to perfectly reflect us

We couldn't have been any happier with our choice of wedding caterer in Baba Ganoush. All our guests loved the Pie & Mash menu and the canapes and evening food were also exceptional. The process was made so easy and we were updated at every stage on what was required from us. We especially found helpful the tastings and canape showcase that helped us to tailor our wedding menu to us and our guests perfectly. A special thank you to Emma - our coordinator on the day who handled everything with such ease and professionalism!

Excellent in every way!

We hired Baba Ganoush for our wedding. We loved being invited to try the canapés and our food choices before hand. The team was extremely helpful and flexible throughout the process. On the day itself, we got loads of extremely tasty food and received lots of positive comments about the food from our guests. Portion sizes were great, nobody went home hungry.

Hardly knew they were there!!

Baba Ganoush did the catering for our wedding at Thirsk Lodge Barns and they were AMAZING!! The whole run up to the wedding they were attentive, thorough with the planning and planned to everything to the tiniest little detail. And on the day they were brilliant, it was strange, you hardly noticed they were there, in a good way, but everything ran like clockwork (Swiss clockwork) canapés where delicious, they even set some aside for my wife and I to have when we’d had our photos and come back down to earth a little bit, the main (Yorkshire roast) was delicious, warm when it was served and beautiful presented without it looking too OTT, evening good bacon & sausage sandwiches again warm, delicious and presented beautifully. Thank you all for making our day so special!! P.s thanks for the card and bottle of Prosecco

Fantastic catering for village hall wedding

Grace and team were amazing for our wedding, catering for our 80-person village hall wedding reception. Everything was delicious and served on schedule. We had canapés, a sharing feast and sticky toffee pudding dessert. All dietary requirements were catered for which our guests really appreciated, especially the gluten free sticky toffee pudding! We would really recommend, we had a fantastic day and lots of our guests said how good the food was :)

Wedding Catering

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Baba Ganoush for our vegan wedding. Despite not being a fully vegan catering company, they went above and beyond to create an incredible plant-based menu that not only impressed us but also wowed our guests, including the meat eaters!

Jess and the team were an absolute dream to work with. From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our vision a reality. Jess was always quick to answer emails and put our minds at ease throughout the planning process.

On the day, everything ran smoothly, and the food was absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the meal, with many saying they didn’t even miss having meat on the menu.

We wholeheartedly recommend Team Baba to anyone looking for caterers that are not only talented but also genuinely cares about creating an amazing experience. Thank you, Jess and the team, for making our special day so memorable!

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.
