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?

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. ”
