Vegan or Vegetarian Catering for your Wedding, Event or Retreat

Nafia from UpRaw Food, preparing food

Whether it’s your wedding, a special event, or you’re hosting a retreat, UpRaw Food would love to collaborate with you to ensure that the food provided is a memorable part of the day for you and your guests.

Service Areas: Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Bristol

Vibrant Delicious Plant-based Food to make your special event even more special

Unlike many caterers, UpRaw Food specialise in providing Vegan and Vegetarian options but are also prepared to work with you if you want a menu that includes some animal products. UpRaw Food passionately believes that our dishes are nutritious, appetising, and a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

Nafia will work with you to create a menu precisely tailored to your tastes, needs, and budget. Meals can be as light or as hearty as you prefer, but they are always delicious.

If you want to reduce the stress of running your event, please contact us, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be in experienced and safe hands.

  • “It’s always such a pleasure to work with Nafia, her energy and passion for cooking is incredible. My retreat guests are always asking for her recipes. She is always happy to work around dietary requirements and fit the dishes to my requests, food is tasty, nourishing and healthy. Thank you Nafia”

  • “Nafia is an absolute genius in the kitchen. She creates beautiful food that's delicious, nutritious and incredibly allergy friendly. I'm still astounded she managed to get my 'meat and two veg' husband eating and enjoying rainbow-hued vegan food without blinking an eyelid. She also catered for his severe nut allergy without making it an issue at all. I just wish Nafia did food to go!”

    Hannah — Gloucester

  • “After having spent 4 days on a Retreat with Nafia, I really started to feel the benefits of her Up-Raw Food. Not only was her food Gluten and Sugar free, but contained flavours and textures I've never encountered before. She is clearly a chef not just an enthusiast, her cooking tastes and looks amazing and using various machinery and wizardry will soon have you completely perplexed as to how she does it. Simply delicious top restaurant food”

    Ed — Cirencester

  • “Nafia’s been supplying us with incredible cakes for the last 10 years and they’re always a highlight of every weekend on our courses”

About Nafia Harding, Founder of UpRaw Food

Hiya, I’m Nafia Harding and I established UpRaw Food in 2013. I provide Vegan and Vegetarian food for weddings, events, and yoga retreats. I’ve delivered them successfully, both here in the UK and abroad.

I love working with my clients to develop menus they ‘own’ but I am also very spontaneous! I will of course stick within the menu agreed, but there will nearly always be an added twist, whether it’s a colourful addition or an extra texture to bring out the best in every dish.
