“I would just like to say a huge thank you for the 4th July, the guys were amazing, they were so helpful above and beyond I have to say. We would love to have the same thing again for 4th October. Once again thank you so very much, it really made the event something special, please send me some cards, I will be happy to promote you in my Bridal Shop. As my staff haven't stopped talking about it.” “I have to say that everything about Nyama Catering is fantastic, the food was just unbelievably brilliant! The guys that came to serve us were, friendly and everyone loved them. I will be using you again! Everyone commented on how great the food was and how great the chefs were! Thank you and well done on impressing the entire company! Even our parent company in the States have heard how brilliant the food was!” “Dealing with you was very easy, unpushy and laidback but professional. You arrived on time and the whole experience was calm and quietly organised with polite staff. The salads were very generous, one comment is that they were a bit "chunky", they could be a bit more finely chopped/ sliced, especially the onions! The hog roast itself was perfect and very flavoursome. The comments from my friends was that is wasn't dry and boring like the other hog roasts that they have been too. The truth is that some had three helpings and it is also very true that consequently they felt a little ill through their greed - seriously! All I can say is a very big thank you to you and I shall not hesitate to recommend you to all and sundry. Well done guys, it was a pleasure doing business with you!” “Almost every member of staff complimented on the quality of food, even people who don't like lamb said it was the best they have had. The vegetarians were also impressed. Most people liked the banana salad, although it is something new for them. Chef did an excellent job of having everything ready and communicating well with myself and staff. Well done guys!” “Thank you so much for being so laid back and accommodating. I had such a great time and you guys were so stress free and made life really easy. The food was fantastic and a great hit with everybody (veggies excluded!). Thank you so much. Clare” “Nyama provided a central plank of the arrangements for what turned out to be a great day! George was cool, the food was lovely - and there where only scraps left at the end, so everyone must have agreed with that! Pity about the spilt fat, but George did the bizzo the next day with his bucket and mop. No hesitation recommending you guys to others and we will use you again when we have another big "do". Any discount for repeat orders??” “Thank you guys so much for really making my mums birthday party special. The food was amazing - and we didn't have to worry about a single thing - everything was taken care of! Have to say the piggie was very tasty - the chefs were great guys and everything ran smoothly - top service!” “Many thanks for the delicious hog roast you cooked for us at the Wallingford Sports Club on Saturday. Everything ran smoothly and your chef was superb in every way. We will certainly recommend you to all our friends and family.” “Steve and I would just like to thank Nyama Catering and Jonathan for doing such a great job on Sunday. All the food was just perfect for our little lady's day. Three of our guests are planning to book you for there next event.” “I don't have any negative comments to make at all! The whole booking process was very easy and on the day Johannes was a superb chef and so friendly with guests he felt like part of the celebrations rather than a caterer. The food was absolutely fantastic too!” “A very big thank-you for the Lamb Spit Braai last Saturday. Not only was Jannie extremely professional the food he prepared was outstanding. Compliments were given by all – and a particularly hard to please friend took a business card and is thinking of using you guys for their next function. Pity the mint sauce and veggie quiche were forgotten. From my side it was an absolute pleasure to sit back and relax while Jannie took care of everything. Well done.” “Salads were great, meat excellent, Jannie was a fantastic chef, all in all a great day.” “This was a first rate experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else and indeed will be seeking to use you on other occasions in the future. Well done!” “The whole experience was fantastic and I will recommend to everybody. Everyone who came commented on how fantastic the lamb was. Thank you again, and should I require a spit again in the future I will contact you immediately.” “The whole experience was fantastic and I will recommend to everybody. Everyone who came commented on how fantastic the lamb was. Thank you again, and should I require a spit again in the future I will contact you immediately.” “My husband and I were thrilled with the quality of service we received and everyone commented on how tasty the lamb was. Thanks for a lovely day.” “Absolutely delighted with the service on the day. Having you guys do all the work meant we could relax and enjoy the day. Will definitely use you again. Many thanks” “10/10 as always Food was amazing and we had loads left over, which was eaten the next day for lunch. The woman also thanked me for hiring such a good looking chef (JANNIE!) Thanks again for the fantastic service.” “You look after us well and understand that we are all volunteer at Guildford Rugby Club so not everything on our side goes according to plan. With you we know that we can leave everything to you and all will go well. Thanks again and hope to see you in the future, Rugby will start again in September, if you don't hear from me before then.” “Thanks for such wonderful food. You overcame the problems about the motor which was sorted out immediately and I thank you for that. Thank you for your help in creating a wonderful atmosphere for a special birthday. Many of my friends have said that they have never tasted such a delicious hog roast…and wow, the cracklin’! Cheers, many thanks Joy” “Once again I've been inundated with comments about the quality (and quantity!!) of the food and your service after you did the lamb roast menu for our Hockey Club Annual Dinner Dance. With it being a black tie event, we need something special to go with the glamour of the occasion, and once again you provided it. Thank you! If we host it again at our club, then I know where we'll be coming.....!!” “We had a great night. The food and service were excellent. As always we ordered too much food- enough for everyone to take some home for Sunday lunch!We have booked you 3 years running now and hope to see you again next year for my 30th. Many thanks.” “I have completed the form but we were going to send you an email to thank you very much for the fabulous food your boys prepared for us on Saturday. All our guests were very impressed and so to have we been with the whole Nyama experience!! Congratulations on a great business - fab food but for me, more importantly, great service!” “Dear George, Johannes Thank for your great service on the week end the food was great and there was lots of it, which was handy as a lot of people did not leave until midnight. thank you once again.” “Hi. Nicholas was great on the day - he arrived on time and was very friendly, it was almost as if he wasn't there. Thank you for making our baptism party a success, we would definitely use you guys again!” “Food was amazing as always. Chef was friendly as always. Everyone at the party was very impressed. I will always use Nyama.” “Just like to say thank you for a great day, you took the worry of the food away from me and Tracey. Everyone enjoyed all the food, the tart was a big hit, and I finally got my hog, and it was worth the wait. Thanks once again, hopefully we will see you in a years time to join us on our 1st anniversary ” “Thank you so much for a fantastic evening we have had nothing but praise. Your chefs were charming, the meal amazing. See you again, soon I hope!” “All our guests have expressed how fantastic the food was. Thank you for all your hard work. ” “Thanks for another great evening - thoroughly enjoyed by all.” “Hi George, Johannes, The food was sensational. The service was great and the whole experience – something we will not hesitate to recommend to other people. Yani was a credit to your business and extremely professional and courteous – and boy was the Lamb and salad a HUGE HIT! Thanks again and hopefully we will do another party with you in the summer.” “Thank you very much for the Spit Braai service you provided on Saturday for my wife's 40th Birthday Party. We had an excellent time and everyone commented on the excellent food. I must say that James and Miranda were fantastic; professional, courteous, friendly and made it all run very smoothly. Please pass on our thanks to them in particular.” “Hi George Just wanted to say a really big thank you for the catering last weekend. I along with all our guests were very impressed with the food and the ease in which it was to get it done. I can honestly say I have never organised anything with no hassle before and your company has been a pleasure to do business with. I have already passed your details to a couple of friends who may contact you to have similar events. I would not hesitate to pass on your details in the future, I am sorry but I cannot remember the name of the gentleman that came to the house, but I would like to pass on my thanks again for all that he did. I am grateful to you all for a very enjoyable evening. Thanks again and look forward to doing business with you in the future.” “You did a great job at my 40th, everyone was very impressed with the taste and quality of the food. There is nothing that I can recommend to better the service, I have no negative comments. Thank you very much for making my birthday party such a memorable day.” “A true highlight of our small party! Superb lamb will be remembered by everyone. Janni was a patient & very friendly guy! Great service overall & a relief to be able to re-arrange after some family problems. Thanks George & Janni! We'll definitely be in touch in the Spring!” “It might have been easier if you had a couple of tables so that the side dishes could be accessed easily ... Otherwise it was all fabulous. Thank you so much ... Everyone said how much they had enjoyed the food - and there were some serious 'foodie' types there. Well done. We will certainly tell everyone else we know about you.” “Our Chef Martin quitely and without fuss just got on with the job. In the end I had to tell him that he should plate up the rest of the meat and go home. Great service, the marinade was so good. I really dont give complements out easliy, but you did a great job. Thanks. ” “Dear all Thank you, thank you, thank you! We were over the moon with the food, with the ostrich a particular hit. The meat tasted great and the salads looked brilliant with a fantastic flavour. The whole Nyama team were very professional, I'm just sorry we couldn't chat to them more as we were too busy enjoying ourselves. This was in no small part due to the fact we were very confident with the catering once the team arrived. I would definitely recommend to anyone with 120 hungry people of all ages to feed! Best wishes ” “The only reason I didn't give 10 for everything is because that would imply total perfection and nothing is ever totally perfect in this world, however that said I can think of nothing that was less than superb so perhaps I should have made it 10's throughout. Is it possible to have the recipe for that fantastic banana thingy it was delicious? Please don't tell me it is a secret family recipe handed down through generations. Just one point I've thought of. It would have been better to have the bill before I got the wrong side of several glasses of wine. I hope the cheque was reasonably intelligible. ” “I just wanted to send a quick message saying thank you so much for the wonderful Hog-Roast we had on Friday. It went down very well with everyone and we are sincerely hoping to raise enough money to be able to afford another one at the end of the year! Either way, your number is already in the document I will be providing to next years' president so hopefully Nyama and RAM will be able to work together for many years to come! ” “Dear George, Johannes and team I hope you are well and not too busy! On behalf of Honeypot I would like to say a very BIG thank you for you incredible hard work and professionalism at our event last Friday night. We have received wonderful feedback from guests yet again! I thought you may like to know that we raised an amazing £58,000 for Honeypot, so we are completely thrilled as you can imagine. I will of course be in touch if we hold the event again next year. Until then, very best wishes, ” “george, i am at a srand up internet machine in an airport, but i had to send a quick email to say how fantastic the bbq was at my birthday party on sat night. everyone commented on how tasty / gorgeous the food was! i ate loads and i can add to all those compliments. i can't imagine what it would have been like to feed my friends average food, but for some strange reason, i didn't imagine that when panning the party?? however, in hinsight - i should have been concerned! your team came up top trumps and i am so lucky i found you through an internet search! if i have the opportunity again i will certainly book you up. it goes without saying that i would happily happily recommend you to anyone who may ask me if i know of bbq caterers. thank you so much to nyama for adding to my birthday experience! saibh young ” “Dear George, Nadia (and Johannes) As always, thank you so much for the gorgeous food yesterday. Everyone enjoyed it very much and it certainly made the exiled South Africans feel right at home! I saw one of them with a boerewors roll in one hand, an Amstell beer in the other and a grin right across his face!! ” “even allowing for the little hiccup, you made our informal wedding reception a true delight. Everyone remarked how good the food was. My step-father was truly mesmerised by the lamb spit-roasting! My friends who are wedding planners will be keeping you in mind for future events. I am positive that we definately will recommend you and will be using you again! Thank you for your help in making our day very special. ” “Completely made my party which had a Caribbean theme.The lamb was just the best! Loved the fact that the chef just turned up and got on with it and needed no help which meant we could concentrate on everything else. Always such nice guys! The best part is the 'dirty plate' service!! Thanks again guys!! Can't recommend highly enough. ” “Hi Thanks very much for the help last weekend, all went really well despite the rain! Everyone commented how great the food was and what was left over was certainly munched through late into the night! I have filled in the feedback online. Hope to be able to work with you guys again in the future! Thanks again Kathryn ” “We just wanted to express our appreciation for that wonderful spread (feast) you provided on Saturday. We put a lot of thought into the decorations, flowers, bridal dress, bridesmaids dresses etc. but the catering was the one important aspect of the day - and you certainly delivered and came up trumps. People have been so very complimentary about it and especially the pork - so tender and the sauces etc. so delicious. I loved your array of salads too and our family have voted the sweetcorn tart the best of all. I am certain that professional musician Alan Hawkshaw who has taken your card will use you in the future. Gemma is thrilled about it all and we are just so grateful to you. It must have been so hot for you doing the cooking but we had hoped for perfect weather Please be sure to thank your girlfriend too for her help and assistance. We have three more daughters to marry and I hope you will be around a long time yet!!” “Yet again - we had a wonderful day and a wonderful Nyama experience. Thank you so much to Riaan who spent much of the day outside on his own (as it poured with rain!). He was great and helped us setting up the marqui and other things when he wasn't cooking - thank you so much - we appreciated your help. The food was outstanding. I would love to know how you make the banana curry salad (if your salad is not a secret!). Thank you very much. I am trying to think of another occasion. We will be in touch I am sure. ” “the food was excellent.the chefs were very polite and profesional.every body who ate said it was the best food at a party they had for along time.importantly it impressed my wifes friends.the only thing tha you might think of getting is a light so your customers can see a bit better.thanks very much.we will use you again and recomend you.daniel ” “I am just e-mailing you to let you know how pleased we were with your catering service on Saturday. Mike turned up on time and was very helpful throughout the day and the food was wonderful. It was a special birthday for me and although it rained for most of the time, we still had a great time, mainly due to the stress of catering being taken away from me. Once again, many of our friends commented on how pleasant Mike was and how they thought the food was great and the whole thing. We will certainly recommend you to others. Please say a big thank you to Mike. Yours sincerely ” “We received so many compliments about the food - it was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent and the quality and quantity of food was just perfect. Thank you!” “We received so many compliments about the food - it was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent and the quality and quantity of food was just perfect. Thank you!” “Hi George and Johannes We just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic braai at our wedding last week. We didn't get a chance to say hi on the day but the food was all great - especially the meat and really complimented the laid back atmosphere of the day. Lots of people have been saying how great the food was - better than most other hog roasts! I know you had problems finding the site but it all turned out fine in the end. Thanks for responding to all my emails and questions over the last few months too. We'll certainly be recommending you to anyone who wants a great caterer in future. Best wishes for the future of your business, Helen & James Hector ” “Dear George I wanted to thank you very much for the most delicious food on Saturday. We had such a lovely time and we were so very lucky to have had Ryan (sorry, I am uncertain as to spell his name correctly) we were looked after very well and he worked very hard. All of our guests were thrilled with the food and several people wanted to have the recipe for the Banana Salad. Do you sell the sauce? If so, can you let me know if I can purchase some from you? You would have had a number of people purchasing this on Saturday night!!! You should certainly market this ... it is just totally delicious, great for vegetarians, as this is a complete change from anything they normal have. Once again thank you. Great job!!” “Thank you so much for such wonderful food - I am so pleased we found you, you helped to make the party one to remember.” “Johannes Thanks for a great Spit Braai... Everyone thought the food was just amazing, hopefully the next time the weather will be better...” “George Just to say that everything went brilliantly on Saturday, despite worries about the weather! The guys were great and the food was fabulous. Everybody was raving about it. Thanks so much. Sue” “We were very impressed and recieved lots of positive feedback from our guests on the quality, quantity and overal experience. We have, and would have no doubts recomending you ” “Hi Guys, Just spoken to the client from Satruiday and her words about the lamb were ....... "bloody AMAZING!!!!" She will defnitely be using you again. She is an event organiser so a good contact for you. Thanks again for providing a fab service .... as usual. ” “I was a little concerned that the caterers showed up a little late, but boy they really made up for it in terms of efficiency and overall willingness to do anything necessary to help the evening progress. The food was delicious and the two guys (Nicholas and a girl... can't remember her name ... were fantastic) Well done Nyama ... it's not easy picking someone from scratch on the internet ... you hear a lot of horror stories ... but you guys were great and worth every penny!! Such cheerful people ... it was a real pleasure to have you guys at the party !! ” “my staff including myself had the most fantastic experience - the food was absolutley beautiful - well cooked and extremely tasty and our chef (after finding us eventually) was a master. we are certainly keeping the business card for next year. thank you for your help in organising our friday evening. joan wells ” “Had an amazing party, thank you for everything.All guests very impressed. Quantity of food got an 9 only because we could have done with a bit more salad - am still eating the delicious lamb though. Thank Will again for me.” “I did just want to say that the comments on the catering have not stopped rolling in - everyone throughly enjoyed the day and each and everyone has commented on the exceptional catering experience! Thanks so very much for making our BBQ so special” “Dear George Thank you to you and your wonderful staff for a really lovely evening. The food was beautifully presented and just tasted fantastic. I have had so many people who commented and who thought it was first class and plenty to go around. (Usually all we get is complaints). As I recommended Nyama, I did feel like my head was on the block a bit, but I was told today that it was the best party ever and the best food they've ever had at Bishopsgate. So thank you to all of you. I am sure Mel will book you for next year again! Best of luck to all of you Gerna ” “Hi george, Just a quick note of thanks to you and to Will for our Hog Roast today. The food was delicious and the event was a great success. Will did a great job AND cleared everything up afterwards! Kind regards Joanne” “Dear George, just to thank you so much for the fantastic hog roast on Saturday night. We were asked by several people where you came from so I anticipate you getting some more requests for catering. The meat was absolutely super. Can I also thank you for being so nice to the youngsters at the party, several of the teenage boys thought you were really 'cool' as you had all chatted to them. It is those things that really make a difference, that you were busy doing a job and yet found time to be pleasant and friendly to them. Thank you. We had a brilliant night, so once again many thanks. Many thanks Rachel and Angus McCallum” “Thanks again to you both for helping making our day extra special, so many people commented how great the food was and they were so right. If you need any references just let us know.

Have a great weekend Kind regards Philippa ” “A big thank you for the lovely spit roast you did for us at Lydiard Park Sat 9th June. We've had many compliments and thanks from our volunteers who attended on the day. The food and dishes were very tasty indeed and presented very well. The salads looked lovely in the beautiful wooden bowls. Thank you for all your hard work ... especially as you were on your own! All and all the day was a major success! Well done!” “Hi Sorry, I meant to email yesterday - We had a fanastic day, with Johannes and Jasmine doing you proud! They were fantastic - kept us informed, provided an amazing spread, were professional yet friendly, and generally extremely good ambassadors for Nyama! The food went down a treat! So many compliments - including the 'best food at the dinner dance for many years' (and we've been to hotels in the past!) and also requests for it to happen all over again next year (this year was a first time for the hockey club to host an event at the sports club!). I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully being able to book you again in future! We're planning on going bigger and better next year! Many thanks again Wendy Baker” “Chef Riaan was excellent, as was the quality of the meat and the marinade. Thanks very much ” “Hi George, Thank you so much for a lovely meal. Nicholas was excellent and after a hassle getting the spit into our garden, everything went well. The guests all enjoyed the food. My only regret was that the roast was concealed, so the impact was a bit diluted. Amazingly, the weather held the whole day, and it only started raining after the party had ended. Please give Nicholas my thanks for being so friendly and accomodating, from getting the whole thing set up to the clearing away. Regards, Yetta ” “Thanks for all your assistance leading up to the day and the day itself - lunch was a big hit! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ and the salads. I will keep you guys in mind should we be doing anything similar in the future and recommend you around KPMG to other departments who are going out on similar days also. ” “Hi George and Johnnes It was a great pleasure having Riaan cook our lamb for us. It was an absolute crowd pleaser, no complaints what so ever, the meat surpassed all our expectations, thank you very much. Riaan was an absolute gem, very friendly and incredibly efficient. I will complete your form in due course but just back from annual leave and an office move so things just a little crazy at the moment. Once again, thank you for helping Mark's birthday a success, Regards Janet ” “We have had so many positive comments about the food, and we were very impressed with it. It really was great value for money, and I don't think there was a single guest that didn't like it. I would definately reccommend you to anyone. Thanks so much for contributing to our perfect day.” “Hello fellas, I most certainly will be filling in your questionnaire and raving about your services to anyone who will listen!! Really and truly had the wedding of our dreams, and still cannot believe it didn't rain...amazing! Anyway, due in no small part to you guys and your fantastic food and wonderful service- you were so lovely to have around. We all wished you could have stayed and joined in the party after all your hard work- you most certainly deserved many glasses of champagne after providing us all with the best lamb we've ever eaten... Oh how I wish we could do it all again, now all feeling thoroughly miserable, especially since returning from a week's honeymoon in Crete...boo hoo! Anyway, sincerest thanks, thanks and thanks again for being so fantastic...what a pleasure to give our money to great people who thoroughly deserve it. Unfortunately I don't want to give your number to anyone as I feel you were such a part of our special day, but will see if I can overcome my dog in a mangerishness... Thanks truly- you were spectacular! Hannah and Philip.” “George, Thanks very much for Saturday it went down very well. I am sure that you enjoyed the drubbing of the Poms in rugby when you got home.” “I would definitely use your services again, very easy going experience, probably as our party was half children we could have done with a few more potatoes and a bit less salad, otherwise perfect, thanks again!!! ” “The Nyama experience was the central attraction of what was a very special day to celebrate our daughters 18th. Great service, smooth and uncomplicated, great for any pre party stresses the host might be having ! Best meat ever tasted I heard people say. Will try the lamb braai next time. Hope you enjoyed the surfing next day. I have some photos to send you when they all get downloaded. thanks again George. rose.” “Hey. How popular am I today! Wonderful food as per usual and plenty to go around. Thanks JT for looking after everybody.” “Dear George Thank you so much for making our little party such a success, the lamb was truly magnificent!!!! Your huge cooler box was much appreciated and I am grateful that you allowed us to hold on to it for the remaining part of the day. I will be able to drop this off to you tomorrow early afternoon. Thank you again” “Just thought I’d e mail many thanks for your catering at our party in Branscombe, Devon, on 21st April. The food was delicious – both the spit roast/barbecue and the salads – and your team of two arrived very promptly, set up very slickly and helped the event go smoothly. It made the catering completely effortless, at least for me! We’d have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.” “What an amazing dinner! Johannes, a very BIG thank you to you Lizette and Jaytee for the amazing spread of food, your enthusiasm, your hard work and dedication to what you do. It is all very much and truly appreciated. Already, I must have 15 emails thanking St James's Place for the evening and every one has commented on the superb food. While we all try to do our best present our products and services, it is just such fantastic to hear how people enjoyed the evening and Nyama can take a lot of the credit for this.” “Johannes - many thanks for your excellent service. Everything worked well and the food was superb!! All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the pork, the lamb and all the trimmings. Your special sauce was a great hit too. It was a pleasure having Wayne with us for the afternoon and evening. He did a great job with the cooking, carving and serving, despite the poor weather. A really nice guy!! All in all, a pleasure doing business with you. We'll look forward to doing it again in the future. ” “Thank you very much for superb food on Saturday and being so helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend you and hope to use you again soon!” “Hi George & Johannes, Trust you are keeping well and looking forward to the festive season. Thank you ever so much for everything - it was superb and Mitchell was absolutely great! We all had a wonderful evening and everyone had their fair share (no one went home hungry!)” “Superb service we will certainly use you again and recommend you” “The food was perfectly delicious and all our guests commented on it. You'll be hearing from us Ikeys again soon (even if you are Maties!) Thanks.” “It was an amazing night! Thank you so much. Everyone loved it and the food was amazing.” “Everything was brilliant! Everyone commented on the lamb - and said that it was the best they had ever tasted. Thank you for your professionalism on the day and for the suberb service! We will definately use you again should the opportunity arrise.” “I think everyone was really impressed by the quality of the food and the service we received. Your chef was very good - polite, in the background etc. Well done!!! We'll definitely think about making this an annual event.” “Hi George / Johannes Just dropping you a line to thank you for the excellent service we received yesterday for our Hog Roast Party! Mitchell was excellent and the meat was absolutely stunning! Mitchell left some business cards because there were so many people enquiring about your services. He was on time, very helpful and served up at 4.30 on the dot. There were people there who said they'd been to a party down in Cookham (at another of our mutual friends) who co-incidentally used your service for their party. It has given me a whole new outlook on how to run these annual events we have. We'll definitely be coming back to you, maybe for a smaller pig or a lamb roast next time.” “Thank you so much for making my 30th party a really special event. Everybody thought the food was fantastic and it really had the wow factor - people were talking about it all night! In fact even my cousin, who doesn't like/eat lamb felt she had to try a little and is now a convert (to yours only of course!). The only downside was that there wasn't enough left over for the hung-over people who stayed on for lunch the next day!!! Thank you for everything. Am sure I'll be in touch for my 40th!” “Ryno was polite, cooperative and did a fantastic job in the foul weather. Everyone loved the food. Sadly, they ate the peppermint tart too quickly and then someone found the secret stash of lamb that Ryno had done for me! George, Ryno left the African tablecoth up here. We'd love to have it - can we buy it from you? Please let me know as soon as you can. We will definitely recommend you to others. What is the minimum number of people for whom you will cater? Your catering made the day an absolute success. Barb was thrilled so thank you so much.” “Hi there, Thank you, it was great to have you there! I was completely confident in the Nyama service, as an event coordinator it’s great when you can relax in the knowledge that a job is being done well and I didn’t worry once during the night about the hogs! The only problem was the late arrival but as promised the hogs were cooked on time and everyone was very impressed with the team. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Helen” “The single most commented thing of the whole day was the food - everyone said how wonderful it was. THANK YOU very much and I will definitely consider using you again - and will definitely recommend you to everyone I know” “George, the whole experience was brilliant, a great day was had by all. Feedback has been excellent. Will recommend you to anyone. A pleasure to meet you. Regards Pat” “Just wanted to say thanks for making everything so easy. Also how friendly everyone we dealt with was, including the 'into the deep end’ young lady assistant, who not only prepared the food brilliantly, but also gave myself and my daughters a fascinating lesson on life in South Africa. Thanks and hope we can work together again.” “Hi George, the lamb was a real success not to mention the sosaties and salads; miraculously we managed without rain so it all went very well; as you predicted there was plenty for everyone but as the party went on in the evening it was all eaten in the end; Mitchell is a very pleasant and efficient young man and he cooked everything to perfection. I thought you would like to know that the whole set up generated a lot of interest with my friends so who knows?? Cheers for now. Lysel” “Thank you so much for everything you did for us for our wedding. The food was wonderful but better than that was the support you gave us and the friendly service. You team were fantastic and made the day a whole lot more pleasurable. Thank you very much, we shall have no problems with recommending you to any of our friends. [FOLLOWED BY]: Thanks so much for all you help at the wedding. The level of service went way beyond what we expected and was a great help in making the meal run more smoothly and in helping David and I to relax a bit. Thank you. Needless to say the food was wonderful too and having only been back from our honeymoon for 12 hours we are already getting very positive comments from friends with regard to the food.” “Not a perfect score all round...but so very very close...only because.. the one pot of cream didn't quite manage to satisfy the needs of 50 hungry mouths...apart from that... PERFECT !!!!” “Can I just say, what a wonderful day. Everyone commented on how great the food was, we had a fantastic chef, everything was terrific. We can't wait to book the next one.” “A very enjoyable day! Thank you and Elvin for making everything run so smoothly.

The pork was absolutely gorgeous, cooked to perfection and the special recipe BBQ sauce was fantastic. We are now working our way through a mountain of leftovers! Many thanks to Etienne for his culinary skills. He left some of your business cards with us, however they were left out in the torrential downpour that we had on Saturday night (after a rather late night), but we will be sure to refer people to your website as a number of our friends were interested (two are getting married next year).” “Thank you so much for all your hardwork on Sunday. The quality of the food was out of this world and you made Drew's day perfect !!!! We have had some fantastic comments and will definitely be using you again in the near future. All the best” “A quick note to say thank you for working with us today. The event was a major success, and we managed to raise about £600 for Farm Africa. I know they are going to be very grateful for this contribution! We're also doing the British 10 K for them next week, so all in all, we should have a fair donation for them! Your chefs were friendly, professional and really really helpful. I am very grateful to them as a major part of our success today. I have attached some pics for you. You are welcome to use any of them, if you wish to. Once again thank you and I am sure we will call on you again in the future.” “Just a quick note to say a huge thanks for Saturday night the food was absolutely delicious and I have passed on your website as there was a lot of enquiries.

Thanks for making it all so easy and we look forward to seeing you again when we have our next do.” “The whole day was superb and the guests absolutely raved about the meal. Not only was the food excellent but our plates were cleared away as well which made it a great experience as we had to do very little. We are already thinking of the next reason to have an Nyama-Catering experience. Thank you very much - this is not the last you have heard from us!” “Thank you so much for the spit on Saturday night. The food was fantastic and all my friends can not stop talking about it. Your curried bananas are defiantly going down in history with everyone as a fantastic dish. Most of my friends being from England had never tasted food like this and you have definitely created a wonderful view on how we eat in south Africa” “Hello George – just retuned to real life after some time off so sorry for not responding earlier. I should say that all my guests, including myself, were really impressed with the food and the service. I was a little apprehensive ahead of the day as I had no first hand experience of you/your company but I would certainly recommend you to others. The lamb was delicious and the two chaps (sorry forgotten their names) were just the right mix of friendly and professional. Please do pass my thanks to them. Thanks for helping my 40th birthday party be that extra bit memorable. ” “Thanks guys, for supplying exactly what you promised. Everyone love the food and have asked me for your details. I will definitely recommend and use your services again.” “Great service, it meant I could also enjoy the party and didn't have to worry about the food.

It has been a pleasure working with you and would have no hesitation is using you again or highly recommending you.” “Thank you so much ... we had a wonderful braai on Saturday (helped by the weather, of course!) and all our guests were very complimentary. This is quite an achievement, since a number of them are South Africans and a number of others have lived and worked in South Africa, so they know a good braai when they taste one! I think you will definitely get some repeat business, both from us and our friends. Please pass on our thanks to Liz and Johannes ... everything went very smoothly and certainly made for a much more relaxing day for us as the hosts than if we'd tried to do the catering ourselves.” “Thank you so much for supplying the utterly delicious spitroast!!! There were masses of compliments from the guests about the food. The client was extremely happy. It was a pleasure working with both of you, and I look forward to catering more parties in the future with you.” “Thank you for a wonderful meal on Saturday 20 August.

The meal was delicious and ready on time as promised, superb service, well done!” “Hi Guys, what a great service you provided me from start to finish.It's a little worrying when ordering over the internet from a company you have never dealt with before but I really found a good one with you guys. I've had call after call saying how great everything was from starters to the hog roast itself. I even had someone say the pasta salad was great!?!?! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anybody thinking of a different, fun and very tasty way to feed there guests.

We will defintely use you again.” “I just wanted to say a big thank you for providing such a brilliant meal. Everyone was very impressed and all commented on the novelty of having a spit roast. Although I didn't eat the lamb myself, everyone else who did couldn't get over how succulent it was, and how tasty the burgers and everything else was. Your professionalism was superb, even when it rained you continued unfazed to cook the food, and nothing was too much trouble for you. We held a raffle and then an auction, and raised over a thousand pounds for Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood. We will recommend you to our friends and acquaintances, and of course we will be using your company again. Once again thank you for helping to make a poignant family occasion very special.” “Thank you guys for fantastic service on Saturday and the food WOW!!!!! Truly fantastic food, great value for money and the 2 lads were very helpful. Sorry I didnt send this yesterday but its been a bit manic here post party. Hopefully we will have an occasion to use you again and to reccomend you to others.Many Thanks, Emma & Mark” “We all had a great time. We had so many compliments about the food. People enjoyed being able to look at the food too before we ate & I think the smell drove some of them mad with hunger pangs, before we let them go for it. We had a few people take away goody bags too. Poor old Paul - he went into the kitchen Sunday morning to eat the leftovers, only to discover that I had given most of it to guests the night before! The food was right at the centre of the party which is what we wanted, and your handling of the food and our guests was perfect. Thanks George - Nyama is definately recommended. Cheers, Michelle.” “Thank you for your excellent service, both in the lead up to and at the event itself. We all had an excellent time, and everyone thought the food was fantastic. Nyama catering is now firmly in my mind, and I will be highly recommending you to both friends and other businesses.” “I just thought I let you know that we have only had positive responses about the food. Everybody really seemed to like it and said that they appreciated the "home made" taste.” “Thank you very much for your great catering. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. I’m sorry that I didn’t get much time to look after your welfare with regards to drinks etc, but thank you for looking after mine. We have just had another delicious supper with your left overs! Thanks again. Jane” “On behalf of Les and myself and all our guests at our party, may I extend our heartfelt thanks to you both for a most wonderful meal. There was nothing we could fault and from the comments received afterwards it would seem that everyone was totally bowled over by the excellent food and service. Your professionalism is something to behold.”
