African and Caribbean Caterers in Liverpool (2026)

Nothing carries an occasion quite like the food of home, the jollof cooked the way your family cooks it, the stew that tastes the way it should, the dishes that tell everyone in the room where you are from. For a christening, an owambe or the harder gatherings like a funeral, having someone cook that food properly is a comfort in itself. What we loved finding across Liverpool was how much of it comes from community associations run by people who cook for their own, and who fold catering into the events they host with real care. That is the heart of it, and it is worth seeking out.

1. Cultural Catering Company The highest rated on our list, a 5.0 on Google, and the nearest dedicated African and Caribbean caterer to the city. It sits in St Helens town centre, just outside Liverpool, which is why we have included it, and it is the one to call when you want a caterer whose whole business is the food rather than the venue. If you are catering a party or a family occasion and want African and Caribbean dishes done properly, this is the closest specialist to hand. You will find it at 2A North Rd, St Helens WA10 2TL.

2. African Caribbean Centre Liverpool A 4.6 on Google and a real anchor for the community in Toxteth. It is a community centre first, a place people hire for owambe, christenings, funerals and gatherings, and it caters those events in-house, so you can book the room and the food together. Reviewers value it as a warm, well-run space at the heart of Liverpool's African and Caribbean life, the sort of place families come back to for one occasion after another. You can reach the team through africancaribbeancentre.co.uk. You will find it at 1 Amberley St, Liverpool L8 1YJ.

3. Merseyside Sudanese Community Association A 4.2 on Google, and a registered charity serving the Sudanese diaspora across Merseyside since 2017. Based in Toxteth around Princes Park, it runs events and community gatherings and caters for them, bringing North African and Sudanese cooking to the occasions it hosts. If your event has a Sudanese connection, or you simply want that cooking at it, this is the association to speak to. You can find them at merseysidesudanese.org or on Instagram at @MerseysideSudanese. You will find it at Beaconsfield St, Liverpool L8 2UU.

4. Nigerian Community Association A 4.0 on Google, and a long-standing association at the centre of Nigerian life in Toxteth. It runs events and catering from Windsor House on Upper Parliament Street, and it is a natural first call for an owambe, a christening or a community gathering where you want Nigerian food cooked by people who know it. As with the other associations, the room and the catering come together, which takes a good deal of the planning off your hands. You will find it at Windsor House, 64 Upper Parliament St, Liverpool L8 7LF.

5. Gracefal Catering Newly established, so no Google rating yet, but worth knowing about. Run by owner Grace and incorporated as Grace Fal Catering Ltd in January 2025, it is a Nigerian caterer based in Everton, and it is the kind of small, owner-led business that is easy to root for as it finds its feet. We have listed it without a rating because it is early days, and we would expect the reviews to follow. You will find it at 120 Hartnup St, Liverpool L5 1UR.

How we picked this list We hold data on the African and Caribbean caterers and community associations we can verify in the city and ranked them by the rating real customers give them on Google, reading the reviews so the strengths we mention are the ones people actually value. Catering is a small category with few reviews, so rather than pad the list we kept it to an honest five, and we placed the newly established entry with no rating yet at the end. We kept it to Liverpool and its immediate edge, which is why the nearest dedicated caterer, over in St Helens, earns a place. Trading and hours change, so it is worth a quick call before you book.

Where to find African and Caribbean caterers in Liverpool Most of the catering sits in Toxteth, around Princes Park and Upper Parliament Street, where the African Caribbean Centre and the Nigerian and Sudanese associations cater for the events they host. The nearest dedicated caterer is the Cultural Catering Company in St Helens, and Gracefal Catering brings a newer Nigerian option over in Everton. Wherever you are planning your event, one is rarely far. And if you want the nearest to home, African Stores helps you find African and Caribbean caterers near you, so you can get your owambe, christening or gathering catered close by.
