The Best Wedding Caterers!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Babaganoush as the caterers for our wedding, and they were exceptional from start to finish.

Food is a huge part of my wife’s and I’s life, so choosing the right caterers was a big decision for us. Babaganoush exceeded every expectation.

Maisie and the team were incredible throughout. They were always quick to respond, attentive to every detail, and accommodating of any request. Our bespoke tasting session was amazing, and they even created custom dishes just for us.

Before the big day, the team were proactive in setting up the kitchen and the venue, which really helped alleviate any stress. On the day itself, they arrived promptly, served phenomenal food (many guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had), and delivered flawless service.

To top it all off, it was such a lovely touch to receive a bottle of fizz and well wishes from the team.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Babaganoush more highly.

Perfect caterers for our wedding!

Baba Ganoush were so amazing! From the very first contact all the way to the last bite of eat they were perfect. We had several calls with the team to create our perfect menu and they were so helpful, even making a bespoke dish for us. They were so accommodating for us, even with our newborn baby!, and made sure we were happy at all steps.

The tasting was such a great evening, like a date at a fancy restaurant, and then in the lead up to the wedding they stayed in touch so there were no nerves.

On the day everything went so seamlessly as a couple we were able to just enjoy the day and not think about things. The team even made sure to keep some canapes aside for us. The food and service were faultless and received a lot of compliments. People loved the food so much they didn't stop eating to take photos! The official photos are basically exactly as served at the wedding so feel assured you can go off these!

We had canapes, sharing plates, and evening food and each part was excellent. The pork belly bites, goats cheese tartlet, and Wensleydale bon bons my personal canape highlights. The chicken shawarma, bespoke aubergine stew and roasted squash salad mains were amazing and all the desserts incredible. Too be honest, everything they served was great

I can't recommend Baba Ganoush enough!

We had so many compliments on the food at our wedding! The canapés were amazing- sticky pork bites especially!
We went for the beef roast and it was fantastic.
Baba were really good at catering to allergies and answered all questions we had at every step.

Amazing food and service!

These guys were fantastic from start to finish.
Meeting them at wedding fairs, the menu tasting, emails, phone calls and the service on the day was efficient, so friendly and professional.

The food was fantastic, all of our guests have said how delicious the burgers and halloumi skewers were. Emma and the team fully understood the vibe we were after and they absolutely nailed it.

I cannot thank you all enough and I certainly can’t recommend you highly enough!!

Thank you again 😊

Thank you!!!

When it came to planning our wedding, organising the food was the thing we dreaded the most as we have so many fussy eaters in our family including one of the brides haha and we wanted to ensure every one of our guests enjoyed there meal and Baba Ganoush certainly made that happen.
We did our initial meeting and explained what our ideal menu would be, and they were more than happy to accommodate what we requested, even made tweaks following our taster evenings and again they were more than happy to accommodate what we requested.
We had various guests with different dietary requirements (gluten free, vegetarian and vegan), which we thought might make the food a little more stressful to organise but they made sure all there dietary requirements were met without any extra cost or major changes which made it so easy for us.
We loved the food at the taster evenings so knew we had made the right decision but was really given the seal of approval when so many of our guests commented on how beautiful the food was, portion sizes was more than enough - our guests were full to the brim haha.
The waiters were lovely on the day, we over ran with our photos so didn’t get chance to enjoy the canapés with the rest of the guests but the waiters ensured we still got some and placed them on our table for when we sat down.
I honestly can not recommend them enough, great value for money and honestly made everything so easy to organise they took care of everything for us and made what we thought was going to be stressful so very easy so big thank you from Mrs & Mrs Jobson.
A special thank you for Georgina, who helped us through out the planning and Ashley & Matthew who took care of us on the day :)

Highly recommend!

Amazing! Baba Ganoush catered for our wedding day and we couldn’t have asked for a better company to do so!
The food was beyond amazing and the professionalism of their staff was second to none. Right from the first tasting session through to the big day Baba were so helpful.
Our guests loved the food they had - we’ve received some lovely comments about the desserts in particular!
Would highly recommend Baba Ganoush to anyone! ⭐️

Book them right now

Yes, the food is fantastic, but the real reason you should hire Baba Ganoush is their impeccable organization and professionalism. They made the whole process fun, easy, delightful, and relaxing. They really set the gold standard for wedding catering from start to finish.

We were constantly impressed with their thoughtfulness throughout, catching details we wouldn't even have known to ask about. In particular, they handled our guests' varied dietary needs so well. On the day, they made sure every single person had food that suited them, from the grazing table to bespoke desserts and late-night pies. It was all beautifully presented and absolutely stress-free.

For our menu, BG did a wonderful job advising us, creating custom items and tweaking recipes where needed. They understood exactly what we were going for, and nailed the execution on the day to absolute perfection.

I really can't sing their praises enough, and I'm so glad we had them catering our wedding. Their care and pride in the work showed through in every detail, and their professionalism meant that we could just relax and enjoy the feast!

Huge thanks to Rebecca and everyone at Baba Ganoush.

Unbelievable food, wonderful company, fantastic for dietary requirements

Our experience with Baba Ganoush dining was absolutely flawless. We chose them because they had previously worked at our venue - a rather logistically complicated castle - and I am so glad we did. Everything from start to finish was wonderful. We were keen to do a medieval style sharing feast and they recommended some great options and developed a menu for us specifically tailored to the venue. We had so much fun at the tasting and they were wonderful about keeping in regular contact with us in the months and weeks before the wedding. The most impressive thing, however, was their support and care of all those in our party with dietary requirements. About 15-20% of the guests had an allium intolerance and Baba Ganoush very kindly made the ENTIRE menu without alliums - a difficult feat - and no-one could tell! The food was *that good*. We got SO many compliments. We had a couple of guests with very tricky dietary requirements too and not only were they comprehensively catered for with lots of choice, but the caterers checked in with them on the day to make sure they were well served. But most of all? The regular contact and the sheer level of excellent organisation on Baba Ganoush's part meant that we felt completely and utterly safe and secure in the knowledge that they would have everything in hand on the day - and that's an amazing thing to be able to feel on your wedding day! We were relaxed and confident all would go well - and it absolutely did. I cannot recommend this company more; thank you Baba Ganoush, and most especially Jessica and Emma, for everything.

Perfect Wedding Breakfast

We got married last month at Riverlands Wedding Barns, we chose Baba as we loved the look of the menus and the great choice of vegetarian options!
The whole experience was amazing, we had great service from everyone we dealt with, especially Jess!
We attended both a canapé tasting experience and a menu tasting, these were both amazing events and really made the run up to our wedding special!
The food on the day of our wedding was everything and more that we could've asked for, everything was so fresh and delicious, there's not a single thing that we could fault about our experience!
The Tarte Au Citron is the most delicious thing I've ever had, I still think about it often!!!
Would highly recommend! x

Best wedding food

If you want a bespoke menu creating for your wedding day that caters for all different dietaries whilst not having to do any of the extra work then book Baba Ganoush! You get multiple meetings regarding what your ideas for the food, then you get tastings for both the main meal options and the canapés. If we had any queries or worries they were handled quickly and efficiently and always got a good outcome!
All of our guests said that the food is the best they have had at a wedding, we had canapés, wedding breakfast and evening food and they were all amazing! We had a marquee wedding with 140 guests and we didn't have to lift a finger. Georgie was our coordinator and she was fabulous - she kept the day running smoothly when the weather was extremely adverse, we temporarily lost power and ended up running late - however she kept the food coming out and it never looked like we skipped a beat and all the guests (and us!) were extremely happy!

The best food, the best staff

Baba were absolutely amazing, all our guests raved about the food. Their communication in the lead up to the big day gave you full confidence there would be no last minute surprises. On the day itself they were efficient, professional and in the best way possible not that noticeable. As the bride and groom that meant we could just enjoy the day and the food without any stress. Would highly highly recommend.

The food you wished you had at your wedding

A Superb caterer for your wedding! First things first, the food on our wedding day was so tasty, exactly the sharing feast we imagined. We had many comments from guests about how much they enjoyed their meal. Babaganoush are also very good at dealing with specific dietary requirements without diminishing the quality and taste of the dishes. For our wedding day we worked closely with the team to create a bespoke sharing menu. This allowed us to have many ideas incorporated into the food with the full knowledge that the excellent team could deliver this. In the lead up to the big day, babaganoush had several tasting sessions to try canapes and our main meals, not only was this a built in date night, but also allowed us to try, and adjust the dishes prior to the wedding.

Wonderful Yorkshire Roast & Sticky Toffee Pudding

We had a wonderful experience with Baba Ganoush. Very responsive and accommodating in the 2 years leading up to our event, and very very smooth on the day of the event itself – thank you to Em and her team. The food (a Yorkshire roast) was smashing, and the sticky toffee pudding was amongst the best I’ve ever had. Wholly recommended!

Fantastic wedding catering

We booked Baba 2 years ago almost as soon as we got engaged. They stood out a mile to us when we were looking for suppliers and we couldn’t have asked for better service, communication and support throughout the whole planning process.

On the day, Emma and the team were absolutely fantastic. Everything ran so smoothly and the food was fantastic. Our guests commented on how good it was on multiple occasions!

We would absolutely recommend Baba for anyone looking for a wedding or event caterer!

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!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
