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.

Absolutely great

To Maisie and the team, thank you so much for everything! Everyone told us how nice the food was, especially the vegetarians felt very well looked after and the canapés, starter and the dessert were absolutely delicious.

Maisie really went above and beyond for us and was super flexible and reacted brilliantly to last minute changes. It just meant that we as a couple could enjoy our day and not worry about a thing where the food was concerned! They were so accommodating making it possible for us to have our canapés in one venue and the main meal in another. I would highly recommend Baba Ganoush.

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!

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 :)

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 wedding caterers

We just had our wedding catered by Baba Ganoush and could not recommend them more highly. The food was beautiful and we had so many comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed it. The service and communication with the team was great and we are so glad we chose these guys helping make our special day even more perfect.

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 Experience!

Our experience with Baba Ganoush was absolutely amazing. From our very first meeting, they were attentive with helping us plan and answering questions we had. We planned our wedding from abroad, and they were so flexible meeting with us over zoom and phone call, and allowing us to send a relative to do our tasting. On our wedding day, everything was perfect. I have never had food this delicious at a wedding. Everything came out piping hot and looked stunning. Everyone there on the day of our wedding was so kind and attentive, they made sure we had everything we needed. We received so many compliments on the quality of the food. If you have the chance to work with them for your wedding, I highly recommend you take it!

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.

Delicious Food, Great Staff, Fantastic Wedding

From the moment we booked Baba, the service and staff were absolutely amazing. The price was super competitive if not better than other catering companies with their seasonal booking offers and options to pay early to gain money off our final bill (every bit counts when paying for a wedding)

The food was delicious and staff/chefs were very accommodating when we asked to go off menu for one of our tasting dishes. We had a completely veggie wedding, all our guests complimented the food, couldn’t stop telling us how good it was and how generous the portions were!

Baba are super accommodating to those with dietaries and allergies, providing guests with their own board of canapés.

Very happy couple, very happy guests.

Top wedding catering!

Ashley and team! We personally wanted to say thank you so much for our delicious food on our wedding day! The whole day was a great success, canapés went down a treat- especially with the bride! All guests commented on how scrumptious the food was! The team serving us could not be faulted!
Personally, from booking Baba ganoush, to the food tasting evening through to our wedding day- I feel our needs have been met and the team have gone above and beyond! If anyone is remotely apprehensive about booking a catering company outside of their venue- don’t be! Baba ganoush made the whole process effortless and flawless for ourselves! Thank you so much, love the Currigans xx

Amazing service on our wedding day

Babaganouch were amazing on our wedding day. Food came out in excellent timings and all our guests love the food. They even left us some canapes when we were busy with photos! The only thing that was slightly odd was that the bank account was changed several times after we had confirmed our contract with them but everything was sorted in the end.

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!
