Another fab review from last week's wedding at Hayling Island consisting of starters, paella, wedding cake dessert, teas and coffees & evening buffet! Makes us so thankful that we do what we do. Thank you so much Emma and Jay.
"From first communication up until the day itself, Andy was fantastic! From his first reply to our initial enquiry, we knew that Buen Apetito would be the ideal caterers for us. We hadn't actually met Andy prior to my husband and I saying 'I do' but And...y's communication with us was so brilliant that we didn't need to. He was always available to answer questions and kept in constant contact.
Andy and his team were just so fantastic from start to finish on our wedding day. They helped set up our welcome drinks and kept everyone topped up during the meal itself. They were so friendly and generous with all of our guests.
And the food! The food was incredible and we've had so many compliments about it. We had a few fussy eaters who had never eaten paella before but they were the ones going up for seconds! And everyone was raving about the nachos in the evening as well!
Andy and his team went above and beyond our expectations and really made our day special!
Thank you so much!"

A busy night prepping away! It is an honour to be asked to cater for and serve 700 of the Royal Navy at HMS Drake tomorrow evening! It's going to be a busy one!

Our latest review from a wedding at Canterbury a few weeks ago for another very lovely couple that trusted our many reviews/testimonials and didn't have a tasting beforehand, this is merely to confirm that brides and grooms can be reassured that reviews and testimonials speak volumes, should you not want to have a tasting beforehand, but, of course, the choice is always yours! 😁 ...... Tilly & Matt, it was an absolute pleasure!
"WOW. Is all I can say about the service and foo...d. From the start of enquiring all the way to the day of our wedding Andy, Debbie and team were there every step of the way. Nothing was too much for them and our guests are still saying how amazing the food was. We researched a lot into catering especially as we knew that Paella and tapas was the one thing we desperately wanted and so glad we booked the BEST in the business. Thank you so much Andy, Debbie and team you made our day perfect."
Thanks guys, your day was lovely, the venue was amazing and you were both so lovely too.

Another beautiful wedding yesterday, this time at the lovely Hayling Island, Portsmouth. 4 courses (table service) served by my wonderful team and such an amazing day for paella too!
90 guests served and then half came back for seconds! Always do too much, for this very reason!
What I loved about this wedding was that the lovely bride and groom booked us solely on our testimonials and weren't worried about having a tasting, the bride even joked with myself and a few guests wh...en they asked where she had found such great caterers, her reply was 'I only actually met Andy for the first time after I said 'I do'!
I love testimonials, they mean so much! This one will follow soon!

Just a few photos whilst setting up for today’s wedding.

Just received our latest review for a wedding we managed to get to, up in North Devon on 3rd March, in spite of the snow from the 'Beast from the East', courses were served despite limited supplies/cancelled deliveries, stranded staff and terrible conditions to get there.. .... but we will never let our wonderful brides and grooms down!
Thankyou so much for this amazing review x ......
Before the wedding Andy was so helpful, always answering questions quickly and being so hel...pful with everything. A DIY wedding is difficult and he came to the venue to meet us at the venue to help work out everything that needed to be done for the day, helping us with things we hadn't even thought about!
Unfortunately the weekend of our wedding the "beast from the east" had arrived and the whole country was under snow and having significant problems and Andy and his team were in one of the the worst hit places. I cannot thank him enough for how helpful and calming he was on the very stressful day before the wedding. Even though I am sure he travelling in dangerous conditions with only a small team we were so grateful that they were able to make it on the day.
The food was amazing, paella and evening BBQ and we had so many compliments from everyone. With all the problems we have no idea how he managed to pull it off but we could not be more grateful! I know we were so lucky to have such reliable and determined caterers for our day especially as we came soo close to cancelling everything. Cannot recommend Buen Apetito enough!!

What an amazing review for the wedding of 'Beth and James' two weekends ago. We love our job and feel privileged to be a part of a couples future, every single time! Well done BUEN APETITO team.......
We used Buen Apetito for my daughters wedding. From the initial enquiry 12 months before to the actual wedding day contact with Andy and Debbie was first class. They visited the venue when passing (bearing in mind this was 100 odd miles from where they live) to check the facilit...ies and outside areas. We had an evening where they came and cooked delicious paella, the food was fab and their company great.
Andy and Debbie came the day before to set up, it was just like they were part of our party who were helping us decorate the venue, they are exceptionally easy to get along with and so helpful. On the day of the wedding they sorted out the DJ, singer and even turned on many many tea lights and strings of lights before we arrived for the wedding breakfast. Their staff are as superb as them, they were friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble making the day effortless, leaving us to enjoy and party! The food was FABULOUS, from the canapés to 3 different paella’s and delicious burgers in the evening. The comments from family and friends reinforced we had made a perfect choice in Buen Apetito. We couldn’t fault any of it. We couldn’t have wished for better caterers and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them...10/10 and more from us all. Andy and Debbie...Thank You... Sarah, Beth and James
Thank you so much for such a detailed review. We are all extremely grateful. Andy, Debbie & Team x

We had Buen Apetito for our wedding a few weeks ago. From start to finish they were just incredible! Nothing was too much trouble, they travelled to our home so that we could sample some lovely desserts and go through everything before the big day.

They arrived early on the morning of the wedding, set out all the tables with beautiful dishes to eat three different types of paella from. They also catered for the fussy children at our wedding who wanted burgers instead.

The food was amazing!! Chicken and chorizo, seafood and vegetarian paellas, all which were gluten free too.. 2 cheesecakes and a double chocolate cake for dessert which were also gluten free and SO delicious!

We then had burgers in the evening, which received so many compliments from our guests. The day ran so smoothly!

The staff were so professional and friendly.. the lady who runs the venue was so impressed that she has put them on her recommendation list!

Great job guys!

Thank you so much!

WOW. Is all I can say about the service and food. From the start of enquiring all the way to the day of our wedding Andy, Debbie and team were there every step of the way. Nothing was too much for them and our guests are still saying how amazing the food was. We researched a lot into catering especially as we knew that Paella and tapas was the one thing we desperately wanted and so glad we booked the BEST in the business. Thank you so much Andy, Debbie and team you made our day perfect.

Thanks to Andy and his team we had an amazing day. Many thank you cards and letters received from our guests without exception complement the food, Friendly service, and helpful nature of all Andy's team. Nothing was too much trouble. Every aspect of us trying to host our day was covered and sorted almost before we needed to ask. We wish you all a great future. Too recommend you in the future would be a pleasure. Regards Rod and Lynne Child.

Thanks Andy and Debbie for a fab Party Service!! The food was amazing!!

My Husband and I hired Buen Apetito to cater for our wedding at The Art Pavilion in Mile End Park, London this August 2017, and have absolutely no regrets. The food was delicious and every single guest went for second and third helpings of the paella - we received so many comments on how good the food was at the wedding so we definitely knew we had made the right choice in choosing Buen Apetito.



From the very first email, Andy was friendly, helpful and professional which made the choice easy for us to go with this caterer, having researched local London caterers for months we were losing hope! Andy came to the rescue! We told him our budget and he worked with us without trying to push the price up as most London caterers will try to do. We were really impressed that he could provide a three course buffet with evening meal, crockery and glassware despite his location of Devon when we are in central London. He even organised a taste testing for us at my Father-in-Law's house in Devon - cooking so much food we ate paella for the rest of the weekend!



On the day Andy and his team were swift, efficient and accommodating - which was especially appreciated by me as a stressed-out Bride in organisational chaos! Thank you Andy for helping us to make our day so special. We would recommend Buen Apetito unreservedly.

Highly recommended. Buen Apetito provided the food at our wedding this year and everyone loved it, lovely friendly people and outstanding food, we had so many comments on how amazing the paella was - Thanks so much guys, the food was excellent and your friendly and relaxed yet super efficient service was perfect for our wedding.

Great, found you again. Tasted your amazing Paella last year at Devon Dub Fest and was really hoping you'd be there again. An early treat at the Saltash Regatta and still as good as I remembered.

Great value for money, very tasty, large portions of healthy paella. Consistently good

Great people to work with for our daughters wedding in our garden. All the food - canapés, paella and burgers - were excellent with several people, including a chef, saying the burgers were the best they had ever had. Thank you to all of you for being so helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again.

From first communication up until the day itself, Andy was fantastic! From his first reply to our initial enquiry, we knew that Buen Apetito would be the ideal caterers for us. We hadn't actually met Andy prior to my husband and I saying 'I do' but Andy's communication with so brilliant that we didn't need to.

Andy and his team went above and beyond our expectations and really made our day special!



Thank you so much!

Fantastic couple, catered for our wedding anniversary on 4th November wonderful food, very professional, friendly and I will be recommending Beun Apetito to all my friends. Thank you

Delicious Paella. Highly recommend joining the queue if you see these lovely guys at an event - you won't be disappointed. Tasty food, friendly staff- what more could you ask for!

Check it out and spread the word for support ;)

Buen Apetito provided the catering for our wedding breakfast on 29th July 2017 – we chose the plated service, and it was fabulous!!

The service we received from Andy & Debbie at Buen Apetito was absolutely brilliant. From the very start it was always a personal, friendly and professional service. They were always there to answer any questions in the lead up to the wedding, and were very flexible and easy going. They allowed us to provide our own desserts and were happy to serve these for us, as it was important to us for some of our close family to make our desserts.

On the day, the service was flawless and the food absolutely delicious! I spoke with Andy when he and his team arrived the day before the wedding, to agree all the final details – nothing was too much to ask and they even upgraded our tablecloths free of charge (to their own expense and hassle as they had to return to collect them the next day!) as those we had requested weren’t available. On the day, everything ran smoothly – they ran our bar for us, served our scones (in place of canapes) & prosecco, and of course served their wonderful paella. The team of staff were all very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran well – the food was served quickly and efficiently, drinks were kept topped up, tables cleared etc. The smell of the food cooking had everyone’s mouths watering and when it arrived it didn’t disappoint! Everyone loved it, and there was plenty of food – many people went up for seconds, thirds and even fourths!!

The price they offered was unbeatable by any of the other caterers we enquired with, but nothing was compromised. We are so grateful to Buen Apetito for being part of our wedding day, and for serving such wonderful food that I think everyone will remember!!

Book Buen Appetito!



Of all the professional services we booked, or researched, for our wedding, Andy and Debbie at Buon Appetito were by far the easiest, most professional, flexible and accommodating.



When they say nothing is too much trouble, it really isn't but unlike others it doesn't all come at additional cost. We had a budget, Buen Appetito respected that and worked within it. They came out and cooked for us in advance of the booking. Debbie prepared sample canapes and Andy cooked paella for seven of us. This was not the easiest seven either. A father-in-law who was a little reticent and not a lover of "foreign" food, a 15 year old whose favourite dish is paella, a 7 year old who at the time only really liked sausages, a fiancee who can be a little fussy and a fiance that likes to think he can point out where master chefs go wrong were all amongst the group. Seven empty plates told its own story!



We chose our favourite canapes (not an easy choice because so many tasted, and looked fantastic) and opted for a paella marisco (seafood) and a paella valenciana (chicken and chorizo) along with a vegetarian paella and our favourite desserts, again a difficult choice due to all the delicious options.



We barely knew that Andy and Debbie were around as they set up their prep area on Friday since they just got on with their own thing amongst the chaos surrounding them. The are totally self sufficient and put absolutely no demands on us for anything.



On the day they were all set up and ready to cook on the dance floor in front of our guests. The three huge paella pans on display and smartly presented staff. Despite our best efforts at keeping to a time schedule the photographs over ran. Andy happily delayed cooking by 30 minutes to ensure that the food was cooked to perfection for when we sat down.



Service was swift and efficient, (nothing worse than being the last table to be served having waited an age) and there was enough for everyone to go back for seconds,even thirds in some cases and it was all delicious. There was nothing left over bar one small portion of vegetable and all our guests commented on how fantastic everything was. The evening buffet was equally sumptuous although we perhaps didn't need quite as much as we ordered due to the paella having been such a hit.



All in all, Buen Appetito were the consumate professionals but also the loveliest, most helpful people to deal with.



We would have no hesitation in recommending Andy and Debbie to anyone. Buen Appetito!!

Andy, Debbie and the whole team were amazing throughout the planning, preparation and on our wedding day. Not only did they serve INCREDIBLE paella, but nothing was too much trouble from serving drinks to changing the room around for the evening. Start to finish Buen Apetito were great - they really made the day even more special. Everyone loved the food - we can't recommend them highly enough! Thanks again for everything you did for us!

Andy, Debbie and the team really made our wedding day, they went above and beyond and catered perfectly to our odd requests. The food was truly amaIng and went down a storm with our guests, they helped us keep to our timings and didn't bat an eyelid when things changed last minute. Andy's communication was fab, always quick to reply and he was really reassuring to talk too. I cannot possibly put into words quite how fabulous Andy and his team are! I would thourouly recommend them to everyone!

Start to finish Buen Apetito were great - they really made the day even more special. Everyone loved the food - we can't recommend them highly enough! Thanks again for everything you did for us!
