We absolutely loved the chicken paella and the veggie option. Our guests loved it and whatever was left over Antonio kindly boxed up for our guests to take home. We'd have no hesitation in recommending or rebooking Antonio. More...

Antonio’s paella tasted fantastic. He is extremely professional, punctual and efficient. Set up his cooking station and cleared away without any fuss, tidied up all the plates and cutlery (which he supplied). Would highly recommend Antonio for his first class catering services and delicious food. More...

Antonio cooked for 80 people at my mum's 80th birthday party in a maquee at home last weekend. Not only was it great food, it was easy planning and added a wow factor to the evening. Thank you. x

Antonio made a fantastic paella for 130 people at our daughters’ joint birthday party in Suffolk. He’s a real pro. Efficient, no fuss. He clearly loves what he does, loves making people happy and he’s a lovely guy to have around. Full of positive energy! It’s significant that our SPANISH friends were first in the queue for seconds! Will definitely ask Antonio for our next paella. More...

Just fantastic, highly recommended. We had PBA for a post wedding Sunday lunch. We returned from clearing our wedding venue to find everything set up for our paella. Truly a family affair, we had the lovely Maria, Antonio’s mother to cook us her authentic paella, the best we and our guests had ever tasted.

We hired Antonio to cook paella for 40 employees on our site. There is nothing that Antonio promised that he did not deliver. Having such a genuine personality combined with his great organisational skills, he made this lunch extraordinary. As a very international company, it was important for us to have gluten free, halal, vegan options, which he provided with ease. Thank you for the delicious lunch and superb service.We would recommend Paella by Antonio anytime. More...

We asked Antonio to cater for around 110 people for a special party and he did us proud! He arrived in good time to set up and cook, and in spite of bad weather, produced his special paella at the right time and in the right place! The food was really delicious, and several guests were tempted to go back for more, even though the initial helpings were generous.After everyone had eaten, Antonio cleared away quietly and discreetly, having given all of our guests a meal to remember. I have had many people say that the food was really excellent that evening. I would not hesitate to recommend Antonio to others. More...

We booked Antonio for our wedding this weekend just gone (8th June 2019). We had plenty of contact with him in the run up to the wedding and he was accommodating of all our special wishes and dietary needs. Antonio and his team trekked up to North Yorkshire for our farm wedding and it threw it down all day. their team kept smiling despite the weather and produced the most delicious Paella and tapas! We had a few self-declared paella experts in attendance and everyone was so impressed with how delicious and fresh it was. I can’t recommend Antonio enough, he was fantastic. thank you ❤️ More...

Superb food and superb service. Being a spaniard living in Colchester, my wife pressed me into celebrating our wedding anniversary by throwing a paella party - only that I fail to be the average paella-savvy español. I then thought of hiring some catering and stumble upon Antonio on the web. He was professional, economic and, most importantly, we had the best paella in years (even by Spanish standards!).

We had the pleasure of Antonio preparing three spectacular paellas for our Dia Del Muerte party on Friday night. EVERYONE loved the feast and was in awe of the fact that it was all done in the garden of our home in a super elegant way. Totally delicious but also fun. Antonio was an absolute professional chef and extremely friendly and helpful - he couldn't have been more accommodating or cheerful while cooking away for 40 people. Everyone was super complementary about the food and I was thrilled with how Antonio got on with it without needing anything at all on the night and cleaned up and left the area absolutely pristine. The entire set up was perfect. We were so happy with Antonio and the food - we'll definitely be using Paella by Antonio again very soon. Cannot recommend him enough!! Gracias! More...

Last weekend, Antonio catered for my Spanish style 40th birthday bash and my friends have literally not stopped raving about his paella since. Not only was the paella itself delicious (chicken and chorizo AND vegetarian) but the portions were enormous and quantities plentiful. From the moment I first made phone contact with Antonio, he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he is not only courteous, professional and an amazing chef, but a really lovely lovely guy too. Could not recommend him any higher. No need to look around other companies out there... Antonio is your man! Thank you for everything Antonio! More...

We booked Antonio to cater our wedding back in June down in Hurley, Berkshire. Antonio did a great job in advising us ahead of the day on the best package for us and kept up communications in the lead up to the day. He served delicious tapas, paella and an evening buffet that was just yummy with substantial portion sizes! One thing I would say, it wasn't made clear when we booked or in the lead-up that Antonio wouldn't have any serving staff and only mentioned it the night or so before our wedding, leaving it too late to source wait staff. Our bar staff and guests did have to step in to clear plates, but at the end of the day, we both wanted a family style meal so didn't really mind. Thank you Antonio, you played a special part in our big day! More...

I was really impressed with Antonio and what he had to offer! I was organising a catered meal for my friend’s hen weekend and this was perfect! Antonio was relaxed but professional. He was happy to chat over the phone to discuss the details and to make a plan which made it really straightforward. He was really accommodating for those guests who had food allergies and ensured there were options for them too. The tapas and paella were delicious and it was a really fun and sociable way to have dinner. The service and food were both really good value. I’m very pleased I booked Antonio-it was perfect for our event! Thank you! More...

Paella by Antonio catered for my 40th birthday party this weekend and they didn't just not disappoint - they became the talking point of the party. It was honestly one of the best paellas myself or any of the guests have eaten. And we were a tough crowd to please with several Spaniards among us and me having lived in Spain for many years. Carlos was skilled, professional and incredibly friendly. And his food was nothing short of absolutely delicious. Just brilliant. More...
