Services
Having met whilst working in the food hospitality industry, Matthew and Ashley gained over 20 years worth experience working in hospitality across the UK, Michelin starred restaurants and Hotels before settling back in Matthews home county of Yorkshire! Both are fiercely passionate about good food & great service, so back in 2013 they set out on a mission to build a catering company that brings people together over food.
Across Yorkshire and the North of England we work with incredibly talented suppliers including food producers, florists, wedding planners & stylists to name a few, so if you're missing something for your day we can help point you in the right direction! Along with creating food we love, we are lucky enough to showcase it in some of the most stunning venues from historic homes, boutique hotels to a pop up marquees and tipi's.
By the time I was 10-years-old I knew I wanted to be a chef and got my first job four years later cleaning mussels on a Friday and Saturday night. After graduating from catering college I spent the next few years working my way up from commis chef to head chef in various restaurants across the North of England, working in some of the most highly recognised and acclaimed kitchens in the UK.

Baba Ganoush recently catered for our wedding and I can't begin to tell you how amazing they were! From initial meetings 18 months prior, to tasting days, to the main event .. we feel like we've been so well looked after throughout the entire process. The team have kept in touch throughout and were always available to chat to, ask questions or just keep our mind at ease. The food was absolutely incredible and we couldn't have asked for anything better. All our guests were so complimentary too. Baba Ganoush even went to the trouble of boxing up a couple of wedding meals for some family members who

We booked Babaganoush only 3 weeks before our wedding day due to issues with our previous caterer. We were very lucky they had just had a cancellation for our date due to the change in government guidance, and from the minute we contacted them we felt in safe hands. Gabby who we spoke with to plan our day was so very communicative and helpful. We had plans to have a hot 3 course dinner, but sadly covid had other ideas and with all of babaganoush’s chef’s self isolating the week of our wedding, the rest of the team really pulled together to make sure they could deliver some service to us regarding

We had the most amazing experience with the team at Baba Ganoush who recently catered our wedding. From start to finish the team were exceptional. They worked with us to create our menu, making excellent suggestions and were happy to make little tweaks to ensure it was exactly what we wanted. Their food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, couldn't fault it at all. It truly surpassed our expectations and everyone loved it. Our wedding was one of the many impacted by the pandemic but the team worked closely with us to help us adapt and change our plans to fit with the restrictions

We have had just the best experience with Baba Ganoush catering our wedding. Of course having a 2020 wedding inevitably meant many changes and a far scaled down version of the 120 guest wedding we originally planned for! We've had the lovely Maggie coordinating our wedding and we honestly can't thank her enough for everything she did for us. She went way above and beyond, and was great with communication throughout. When we called her asking to bring the wedding forwards with just 48 hours notice, the Baba team pulled out all the stops to make it happen. They catered us a delicious autumnal feast

The most delicious Wedding menu.
Baba Ganoush are truly amazing, from booking them for our wedding, deciding our menu, going for a tasting, changing our choices to the final menu on the wedding day, everything was so delicious and presented beautifully. Ashley and her team have been so helpful throughout, advising us on menu choices and what would work well, to timings of the wedding day.
The entire Baba team on our wedding day was fantastic, they all looked so professional and was super helpful, high praise to them.
Ashley kept back some of the canapés for me and my husband so that we didn

Having been fed by Baba Ganoush on various occasions, I literally cannot express how wonderful their food and staff are. Ashley and her husband are extremely knowledgeable, efficient but most importantly of all a pleasure to work with.
They do food ranging from casual sharing platers all the way to fine dining, and I think their secret is in how they season and spice the food. Who knew that chicken could be so delicious?
Don't be 'put off' by their name, they will cater for any palette and event.

I can't recommend Baba Ganoush enough. As a wedding planner and stylist I have worked with them a few times this year and their food and service has gone beyond expectations. They love creating bespoke menus for clients which my couples love. The team is friendly, approachable and always helpful. The food is amazing too, looks good and tastes amazing. I even had a wedding guest come up to me and say how good they thought the food was. Can't wait for more weddings with these guys in the future. x
