The best wedding food!
I have heard nothing but amazing feedback from all our guests on the food which Nyama provided. We had the mixed grill, steak, chicken and lamb chops and it was incredible. We are so happy we decided to go with Nyama who were the more expensive of our original options but absolutely worth it. We had 50 guests for canapés and 120 for BBQ buffet and the service was quick. The staff were all really friendly and flexible, I would highly recommend if you want a wedding breakfast which is full of flavour and has lots of variety.

I'd choose them every time!
If you've found Nyama, look no further. I cannot express how wonderful the team has been in every aspect of catering for our 2 day long wedding. In terms of planning, they were super flexible, helpful in revising our quantities, timing for canapes and dinner and more. We put them to the test across the family style platters, a hog roast, ice cream bar, bar service, shots and more... and every single person on the team delivered. We had the most incredible food, our veggies, vegans and coeliacs were well looked after, guests have been raving and my cousin has re-booked them for her 50th. The chefs went above and beyond to help us make sure everyone was stuffed full, the venue was left clean, and we are still dreaming about the food. Just book them. They made our wedding everything we were hoping it would be - for a price we KNOW was worth it. You cannot do better.

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!

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!

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

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.
