Steve H., Hog Roast Buffet : Woking - 17 July 2010
“When we organise a Family Fun Day it is extremely busy for me with worries as to whether Caterers, Games, and Bands turn up. This was not the case with you. Your staff turned up on time, prepared the gazeebo and tables etc. Your staff were courteous to our guests and nothing was too much trouble. Our guests comments stated that the food was excellent. After the serving, your staff cleared up, and departed with not a sign that they were there. Thank you again for helping to make a fantastic day. ”
Evette S., Wedding Spit Roast : Horam, East Sussex - 17 July 2010
“I just wanted to say thank you very much to our guys who served us. They were polite and very helpful. The food was fantastic and we all went back for seconds and some for thirds. Loads of people took cards so I hope that they use them. I would, without a doubt, use Nyama again for any function that I have. Thanx again to the guys that served us - I think it was Zander and Malcom what great representations they are for Nyama.”
Niki & Phil, Wedding Reception BBQ : York Club, Windsor - 2 July 2010
“Dear George, Johannes, Matthew and Crew I hope this mail finds you all well and happy. This is just a very quick note, as I am still up to my armpits in visitors etc. I would just like to thankyou all so much for the excellent job you did for Phil and I at our wedding. Matthew you are a credit not only to Nyamas but to yourself, not only was the food simply outstanding, but the way you organised and conducted yourself was first class. EVERYONE complimented you on your professional approach and your lovely manner to the guests. We were delighted with your service and you will be pleased to know that your number has been passed on to several of our friends. Thankyou again for a first class job and both Phil and I would like to wish you all the very best with your business and we hope to see you again in another function. Best wishes and kind regards Niki and Phil Kitt-Woods ”

Everyone commented on the quality of the Hog Roast, salads and roast potatoes plus how well presented they were . We wanted a party we could enjoy without any stress or worries and from initial contact with you till you left we had none. Nyama definitely delivers what the website promises ! ”
Helen & Ron, Lamb Spit Roast : North West London - 10 July 2010
“Dear George and Johannes, We want to write to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing such a wonderful combination of Spit-Roast + Cooking/Carving//Serving Guy. The event of the party was a great success and the Lamb turning on the spit was the central ingredient that kept everyone anticipating something extraordinarily tasty - which indeed it turned out to be. Daniel O'Hanlon was perfect on timing everything and was highly professional. A delightful and interesting guy who everyone enjoyed chatting with. He managed the cooking, carving and fair distribution among the number present quite brilliantly. Accounting has obviously served him well! Next time maybe he will ice-skate as well. We will definitely recommend NYAMA to all our friends and hope to be able to call you again for our future parties. Best wishes to you all, and many congratulations on your achievement as a company. from Helen & Ron ”

“Dear George, just a quick email to thank you for catering for us at the weekend. We found you on the internet and it felt like a bit of a risk going with a company who none of our friends had used, but it was a risk well-taken. We found the food you provided delicious and have had many comments saying how nice it was from all our wedding guests. In fact, I'm still enjoying it having brought some for my packed lunch to work today. Arjen and I met 10 years ago in South Africa so it was also lovely to have some little part of South Africa with us at our wedding. I'm happy to recommend you to anyone if they need a reference. With best wishes and good luck for your business in the future, Hannah”

“To all at Nyama Just writing to say Thank you very much for helping me to enjoy a great birthday celebration. Steve was fantastic. He had to unscrew the gate to get the equipment in and then made sure he screwed the gate back on when he left. Steve was polite, and cooked the food to perfection. He even tidied away everything afterward, finding his way around my kitchen wrapping left over food into containers and cling film. What fabulous customer service. The food was delicious, everyone loved it and so many people are asking me for your details. Steve was very hygenic in all his preparations which is quite important to me. Even my mum liked Steve which is really saying something good about your company. I've promised to get steve back for her birthday next year in July!! Please give steve a copy of this email. Thanks once again. I had the best time. ”
Mike, Mega BBQ : Shropshire - 30 August 2008
“Thank you thank you thank you. The food was a massive highlight of the day. Everyone was talking about the food all day long. The chefs, who's name is have forgotten was fantastic. If possible please ensure that they see these comments. The quality of the food was out of this world and the chefs put in a 110% performance. It was the little touches that were nice. They offered to go to to shops and if they could help with anything. They made both danni and myself very comfortable that the food would all be in order, and of course it way. I can not sign your praises high enough. I would recommend this company to ANYONE! Thank you once again! ”

Micheal, Wedding Buffet : Isle of Wight - 30 August 2008
“Your chefs Will and Marie were excellent, friendly and went beyond the call of duty (helping attach ribbons to the car and hammering nails in tins). The hog roast was very tasty - everyone commented on how delicious the food was. Will and Marie arrived timeously and left with no fuss - all contributing to the smooth running of the day. Big thanks. If we had to find fault it would be that the ostrich kebabs were slightly over done! Overall an excellent experience and thank you very much for contributing to a successful day. We would not hesitate to recommend you to others.”
Richard - Birse Engineers, Hog Roast Buffet : Windsor - 28 August 2008
“George I would just like to thank you and your catering staff for the exceptional pig you laid on for us last night. The service and friendliness of your staff on the night was fantastic including the quality of pig and side dishes you provided. We’ve had compliments pouring in from the people who attended last night and it makes hosting these events a lot easier when the feedback is this good. We are considering holding a similar event in the near future and will definitely be requiring your services once again. Many thanks Richard Crichton ”

“Dear George, A belated message of thanks to say how much we enjoyed and appreciated the whole Nyama experience! Not only did it provide food for the hungry hordes, it also provided a focal point, a talking point and as the evening wore on, some much appreciated heat at that end of the garden! Martin, who was our chef, was an absolute delight and soon made friends with many of our friends and this made the whole party very integrated. I have some lovely photographs if you ever need them. Thanks again for all your help in setting this up – we have already passed on your details to several of our friends who were there so I can only hope that we will be on the receiving end of your excellent hog roast another time! Very best wishes, Alasdair ”

The boys were all charming and so polite and helpful, in spite of being stuck on the M25 and the rain! So many people have said how tasty everything was and Ostrich was a first for many.

Even our parent company in the States have heard how brilliant the food was!”
Bronwyn, Hog Roast : Marlow - 28 June 2008
“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!”
Johann, Lamb Spit Roast buffet : Aylesbury - 27 June 2008
“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!”
Clare, Hog Roast : Wokingham - 28 June 2008
“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”
Alan, Lamb Spit Roast buffet : Caversham, Reading - 28 June 2008
“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??”
Sinead, Hog Roast : Newbury, Berkshire - 28 June 2008

Gerald, Lamb Spit Roast buffet : London, SW - 21 June 2008
“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.

Michele Byford, Mega Hog Roast and BBQ : Caversham , Reading - 29 September 2007

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 ”
Kay Walmsley, Lamb on the Spit buffet : Electric Barch, Paddington, London - 22 September 2007
“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. ”
Aaron, Royal Academy of Music, Hog Roast and Veggie Paella : London - 7 September 2007
“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! ”

Gemma and Byron, Wedding Hog Roast buffet : Reading, Berkshire - 25 August 2007
“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!!”

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. ”

“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 ”

“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!!”

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!!

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.

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”

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!).

Yetta, Hog Roast Buffet : Dunstable, Bedfordshire - 17 June 2007
“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 ”
Cindy, KPMG, Company BBQ : Tower Hamlets, London - 6 June 2007

Janet Stanborough, Lamb on the Spit : Egham, Surrey - 26 May 2007
“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 ”

“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.”

Phillipa Marsh, Hog Roast : Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey – 10th September ‘06
“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.”
Phillipa Esson, Lamb Spit Roast : East Sheen, London, SW – 9th September ‘06
“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!”
Jeremy Hyde, Whole Lamb Braai : Steeton, West Yorkshire – 2nd September ‘06
“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.”
Helen Mckeever, Honeypot Charity event, Hog Roast : West Sussex – 1st September ‘06
“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”

Thanks and hope we can work together again.”
Lysel Holt, Lamb Spit Roast : Kenilworth, Warwickshire – 20th August ‘06
“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”

Christopher and Clare, Lamb Spit Roast : Shirley, Surrey – 19th August ‘06

“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.”
Johan Hannah, The adventure company, Hog Roast : 15 July '05
