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.

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!"
