Waakyeleaf 

Edwina and her team are absolutely amazing! They were so accommodating and friendly, ensuring that we got the most out of this experience. Edwina made cooking so enjoyable whilst informative at the same time, and we managed to learn so many dishes in only one afternoon! A true definition of value for money and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you for helping us embrace our beautiful Ghanaian culture even more😊

I worked with Waakeye Leaf at a wedding last year and their service was top notch. Such a lovely bunch of people too. The wedding ceremony was delayed by a considerable amount of time (let's just say that the bride was fashionably late) and yet, they delivered the food in record time and even made provisions for the evening guests who had to join in with the day guests due to the late start of the ceremony (which of course had a knock on effect on everything else, brides beware!) this was not part of the initial agreement with them but they handled it so graciously. They went over and beyond to feed the guests and wipe down the kitchen afterwards and most of the guests commented on how nice and tasty the food was. I'd certainly work with them again as they provided such a fantastic service.

Do not make the same mistake we did and waste your time and money with this caterer.
The business delivered us an absolutely huge disappointment and anguish on our big day with our dignity shredded.

The food was served late and hours behind schedule.

The specialty Ghana style rice was burnt in some places where it was microwaved while some guests received there food cold!

The expensive evening BBQ option we paid for turned out to be pre-cooked food with the congealed fat still present in the tray,
dimly re heated over the mildest flame you will have ever seen in your life on a BBQ grill.

We could have used a cheaper waiting staff agency but the business owner -
Edwina - insisted that we rely on her waiting staff as she implicitly stated she knows and trusts them.

It was under that impression that we happily paid a premium over the other waiting staff agency to use Edwina's.

With the exception of the head waitress in charge,
the waiting staff employed were absolutely diabolical!

They dropped expensive canapes that were accounted and charged for,
walked around with one glass on a tray at a time to served a packed ceremony of 60 guests,
offered alcohol to clearly an Islamic lady (who was wearing a hijab) and one lady waitress even attempted to steal bottles of wine from us until she was confronted!

In addition guests had to ask 2-3 times the same waiters for a simple order to be served and not one of the waiters could explain what the food being served was!

(Luckily we had printed out menus on the table and our guests had enough common sense to distinguish what was what!).

After gladly accepting over several thousand pounds from us ,
the lady that owns this business never accepts any responsibility,
insists she has done the legal minimum,
shifts the blame on others and when I demanded some sort of refund to compensate us she even went as far as to say that she did not make any profit from this type of event catering and "does it for the love".

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

I mean honestly, how could I be expected to believe that given the amount we paid?


Any positives we once felt about Waakye Leaf are far too few to mention now.

Please do yourself a favour,
like we should have in hindsight.
If your venue management are reasonable,
sponsor somebody reliable you know who can cook well instead and pay for there public liability insurance.
You will save yourself thousands of pounds and much heartache on your wedding day this way.
