Our story · A family business

Good food runs in the family.

We’re Andy and Debbie, a husband-and-wife team of 20 years, working alongside our brilliant family, eldest daughter Dina and husband Johnny (chef), our youngest daughter Natasha and her husband Joshua (chef) and our wonderful Kerry (chef), bringing family and friends together around generous food and an easygoing, attentive service.

Buen Apetito team serving food to wedding guests

A generous table is a kind of welcome.

We know how important your wedding is, and we know how to look after people. Before returning to the UK, our family spent eight years in Ibiza, taking care of many hundreds of VIPs, where timing, care and warm hospitality mattered every day.

We started Buen Apetito in 2008, cooking paella for festival crowds. Wedding and party catering became our focus in 2012. Today Andy and Debbie run the business with our brilliant family team: our eldest daughter Dina and her husband Johnny, alongside our youngest daughter Natasha and her husband Joshua, supported by our lovely waiting staff and front-of-house team.

We love the live-cooked moments and so do all the guests: paella, curries and one pots prepared in big pans, with guests drawn in by the aromas, the theatre and the chance to come back for more.

Plentiful food

We focus on generous portions, food served hot, and a meal your guests can enjoy together.

Careful, friendly service

Our front-of-house team adapts around speeches, photographs and the rhythm of your day.

A welcome for everyone

Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements are handled with care, so everyone can feel included.

“The team were warm, professional, and so easy to work with. Not only was the food genuinely outstanding, but there was so much of it!”
