Popular Leeds supermarket chain Abu Bakr launches new wedding catering service
The family-run business is expanding its Food 2 Go service
A Leeds-based supermarket chain has launched a new wedding catering service, offering South Asian food for weddings and celebrations across Yorkshire.
Abu Bakr Supermarket has expanded its Food 2 Go brand into catering, with packages available for weddings, walimas, engagements, mehndis, nikahs and large family gatherings.
The family-run business, which has stores across Leeds and Batley, said the new service had been launched after customers asked if they could enjoy Food 2 Go dishes at their special occasions.
Food 2 Go is already known for its freshly prepared meals, desserts and takeaway options served from Abu Bakr stores.
The new catering service will offer a range of traditional South Asian dishes alongside more contemporary options, with menus tailored to individual celebrations and guest numbers.
Packages can include starters, curries, rice dishes, grills, desserts and drinks, with vegetarian and vegan options also available.
Abu Bakr said halal meat would be used and menus would be prepared using quality ingredients.
The catering service will be available for events across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and the wider Yorkshire region.
Customers will be able to choose between collection, delivery and full event catering, depending on their requirements.
The company's catering team will also work with couples and families to create bespoke menus for their celebrations.
Managing director Hamza Hussain said: "Food is at the heart of every celebration in our community, especially weddings, and we've had so many customers asking if we could cater for their special day.
"Food 2 Go has become a brand people know and trust for fresh, quality food, so launching a dedicated wedding catering service felt like the natural next step.
"Whether it's a nikah, mehndi, walima or a wedding reception with hundreds of guests, we want to help families celebrate with delicious food and excellent service."
The launch comes as Abu Bakr continues to expand its Food 2 Go offer, which has become a growing part of the supermarket's business.
The retailer said the new service would allow customers to take the Food 2 Go experience beyond its stores and into their biggest celebrations.
It is now taking bookings for weddings and other events across Yorkshire.
