We used Buen Apetito for our wedding in August 2023. We honestly could not recommend them enough. They did 3 days worth of catering for us (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), and every single dish we had was excellent. Even when catering for 125 people on the Saturday all the food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The Paella's around the pool on the Sunday went down a treat with all guests - one we would definitely recommend. Tasha and the front of house team were excellent as well - extremely attentive and made sure everyone had enough of everything. All the team were friendly, down to earth - I really can't recommend them enough!

Andy, Debbie and Marcus catered our wedding at Exeter Castle back in April 2023. We initially chose Buen Apetito because they made everything easy for us – transparent pricing, clear menu options, and an easygoing initial meeting that laid out what we could expect from them. Andy and Marcus were happy to tweak the menu to fit our preferences both before and after our tasting, and what a tasting it was – we got to try some of everything and were eating delicious leftovers for days!
On the day the Buen Apetito team were the perfect mix of friendly, professional and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and everything ran to time. Marcus catered for all dietary requirements seamlessly within the menu, and the food was delicious and plentiful. In fact plentiful is an understatement, there was So. Much. Food. Our guests left happy and full and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
We booked Buen Apetito for our outdoor wedding in June and they absolutely blew us all away! The paella and one pots not only tasted fantastic, but looked and smelt fantastic too and it was wonderful to see the food being cooked in front of us and created a great atmosphere. In the evening the team put out a Mezzo Board and a platter of desserts which was fantastically artistic and received a lot photograph attention! All the food was delicious - we could not have asked for better. The team were incredibly professional and friendly, and communication throughout was great. Would 110% recommend and would book them again in a flash!
OMG! We recently had a wedding booked at Country Ways nr Umberleigh and Buen Apetito was recommended to us. From start to finish, we had superb communication and a clear menu choice. The food tasting evening was absolutely fantastic with Marcus the head chef making us huge plates of food to eat, everything we had was very well cooked and top quality. On the day, we had plates of different canapes, starters, main, desert. We were all so full that we had to ask for a 30 min break between main and desert, nothing was too much trouble and all the staff couldn't have been nicer. We'd also requested an evening meal which was Marcus and his chef serving a massive paella, veggy curry and pulled pork. This was probably a step too far, nobody could move afterwards - so funny but so utterly delicious. If you want a decent plate of top class food for a special occasion, look no further. Can honestly recommend with all of my heart (and stomach). Thanks for making our special day even more special.
We couldn’t recommend Buen Apetito, Andy, Debbie and the team highly enough. If we could give 10 we would.
They made our wedding incredible.
The food was exemplary, all our guests raving about how good the food was. We had canapés, paella and evening food.
We arrived late from having photographs taken and were greeted with our very own board of canapés, so thoughtful.
Guests loved watching the paella being cooked in the big pans which provided a good source of entertainment and complemented our tipi reception excellently.
From start to finish Andy, Debbie and the team were so friendly, attentive, easy to communicate with. They left no stone unturned thinking of things we hadn’t even thought of.
Debbie cut our cake perfectly and served it on platters.
They were so flexible with our timings throughout the day which needed to be pushed back slightly.
If you’re getting married, choose Buen Apetito for your catering, you won’t regret it.

I don't have enough positive words to express how brilliant Buen Apetito were for our wedding earlier this month. Andy, Debbie and Marcus put on an absolutely amazing tasting a few weeks before our wedding - Marcus even created a special twist to create my favourite dessert (chocolate orange). The service by the team on the day itself was exemplary - so polite, attentive and thoughtful. The food was as amazing - we had messages in the days following telling us how much they had loved every bit of it. We even had some burgers and paella the next day as we were tidying up the venue to continue to reminisce about how good the day was! Thank you all so so much - we are so glad you were such a key part of our day.

Without Andy, Debbie and their team our wedding certainly wouldn’t have been the same. From initially meeting Andy and Debbie a at our menu tasting session, to saying goodbye at the end of the night on our wedding day (this bit is a little blurry!) Buen Apetito have been an absolute pleasure to communicate and work with.
The menu tasting was one of our favorite planning experiences and it was a really special evening for both of us and our families to spend the evening trying lots of extremely delicious food. It was also great to spend some time with Andy and Debbie and we all felt so reassured and excited to know they would be joining us on our big day.
Planning a wedding can feel stressful and overwhelming at times but Andy was always at the end of the phone to help with any questions, advice or just to give us some reassurance we had everything under control.
On our wedding day, the food was fantastic. Having Paella cooking in front of our guests added to the atmosphere and certainly made everyone hungry! So many of our friends and family said how delicious both the paella for our wedding breakfast and pulled pork buns in the evening were – many of them having seconds!
Buen Apetito were not just our caterers, but they also provided the cutlery and plates, poured and served our welcome drinks and delicious (even keeping a secret canape stash for Liam and I), served our wedding breakfast, adapted timings as and when needed, helped clear plates and glasses, served our evening food and became great friends for the weekend!
We cannot recommend Andy and the team enough. THANK YOU!

Andy and team were a dream to have cater for our small wedding reception. Extremely easy to talk to and discuss ideas about what we wanted.
Half our wedding party were either vegan or vegetarian so it was important they had something great to eat too. The team more than delivered and absolutely everyone raved about the food whether meat eater, veggy or vegan. I think the vegan Yorkshire puddings were the biggest hit of all! Only just surpassing the chocolate brownie dessert.
Could not recommend enough.
Thankyou soo much!
Andy and his team were absolutely fantastic for our wedding in august.
From initial conversations with Andy to the big day Andy was so helpful, very responsive to all emails and was very accommodating!
We asked for slightly different dishes from what they had in the menu and this was no problem for them at all.
All of our guests absolutely loved the dishes we had chosen the feedback from everyone was only positive.
We went for the one pot options with 3 separate dishes they catered for all dietary needs required and everyone has ample food with many guests going back for 2nd’s and 3rd’s!!
I would highly recommend Andy and his team for any event fantastic pricing and absolutely incredible foods!
Thanks again to Andy and all his team 5*

So pleased to have stumbled across Andy and Buen Apetito. Even happier that I picked up the phone and spoke to him.
Full of great ideas, keen to help and passionate about every aspect of the occasion. If you’ve not called them yet, just do it and get talking about your event.
So glad I picked up the phone to Andy & Buen Apetito. Andy is so passionate about what they do, full of fantastic ideas and made us feel central to everything they did. If you're thinking about having an event catered, call these guys and share your ideas. Highly recommend.
After searching through dozens of caterers, we came across Buen Apetito and are so glad that we found them! We wanted a more traditional, sit down three-course wedding breakfast and their prices were very reasonable. They were also able to bring their own equipment as our venue didn’t have any. Since the initial email, Andy has been amazing at communication and the tasting that we had last Christmas was delicious. The waiting staff did a fantastic job of serving canapés as well as everyone’s meals in a quick, efficient and friendly manner. Everyone was looking forward to the food on the day and it went down incredibly well - even the fussiest of guests cleared their plates. It was presented beautifully and the portions were a perfect size to be able to enjoy all three courses. Thank you Andy and the team for the incredible job you did! Tim and Rachel Locke
