Fantastic - would definitely recommend.

We used Vamos Paella for a recent corporate party. Everything ran very smoothly from beginning to end with communication and menu choices. The food was delicious and catered for all dietary requirements. Guests were very happy (and very full!). Would definitely ask Vamos Paella to cater again, and would 100% recommend.

We booked Vamos Paella for our summer wedding and were totally overwhelmed with how incredible the food was.
The service from start to finish, including booking, sample tasting, communication and service on the big day was exemplary, and Melissa and her team were incredibly professional and helpful with all aspects of our big day. We received no end of compliments on how much everybody enjoyed the experience, and the sight and smell of the fantastic paellas cooking on our sunny August afternoon is one I know everyone will remember for a long time.
We would thoroughly recommend this company, including the Front of House staff who were also available to hire along with the catering, and we're already trying to find other excuses to book and enjoy their wonderful food again. We will forever be dreaming of the little chorizo sausages for many anniversaries to come...!!! Thank you Vamos Paella for an outstanding service.

Adapted perfectly to our needs

We used Vamos Paella for our wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice. Melissa and her staff were absolutely amazing! Food was fantastic and we've had so many positive comments from our guests. The menu was altered really well to fit our specific event plan, adding a lovely afternoon tea to start, and various dietary needs (lots of vegans, veggies, and allergies!). Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend Melissa and her lovely team. Felt in safe hands from the start and lunch for 100 people was cooked and served with a bit of theatre but without fuss. It all looked beautiful and tasted wonderful. People still comment on how great it was. A very good experience all round.

Delicious food and great service!

Vamos Paella not only provided the most delicious selection of paellas but also an extremely efficient and friendly service. From the minute Amy and Adrian arrived I felt reassured that everything would go to plan. Our guests loved the food and we were delighted with the organisation.

Awesome!

I couldn't recommend Vamos Paella more highly.

We were let down at the last minute by a caterer for our wedding but the moment I phoned Vamos Paella I knew that everything would be OK! Melissa was completely calm despite my panic and they were able to organise attending at 3 days notice.

The food was excellent and our guests really enjoyed it. They arrived on time, delivered everything they promised and were super friendly. Thank you so much Melissa & co!

Our experience with Vamos Paella was fantastic! Melissa could not have been more helpful and on the ball. The food on our wedding day was spectacular and we got loads of compliments from people who were thrilled so have something so different and genuinely delicious. Not to mention really good value! No hesitations - would 100% recommend.

Vamos Paella provided the most delicious food and brilliant service at our wedding in Hampshire. Melissa couldn't have been better, from the moment we met her during the tasting we knew she'd be completely organised and responsive. As the wedding was fairly DIY (in a garden!) she totally understood we needed help ensuring we had all the necessary equipment, cutlery and crockery and was great giving pointers and remembering things we would have forgotten! The food itself was absolutely amazing with lots of guests saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had!! There was great choice and the fact that guests could have seconds went down very well. The team on the day couldn't have been better, they were all so friendly and organised, turning around the marquee from ceremony to dinner to evening without any faults. We really couldn't be happier and would recommend Vamos Paella to everyone! Thank you!!

cannot say how amazing your team were today providing three different types of paella with salads at our Sunday lunch the day after our wedding. They were so professional, friendly and the food was absolutely OUTSTANDING. Thank you so so so much for all of your work. It has been seemless throughout. Your team were so friendly and made sure everyone was happy. Everyone commented on the food and I think you will have a fair few customers from today!

Thank you thank you thank you! I only wish we'd had you for the Saturday aswell!

Vamos Paella catered for my stepdaughters wedding for 120 people, and it went without a hitch. The staff were very efficient and friendly, very smiley, seemed relaxed and nothing was too much trouble even 12 hours after starting! The food was delicious and plentiful, and it was a very unique and interactive way to cook it in front of the guests who were all very complimentary. would thoroughly recommend Vamos Paella for any event.

Vamos Paella recently catered for our wedding at Grittenham Barn. The experience was exceptional from start to finish, with Melissa taking so much care and time to listen and understand our requirements. We really wanted our guests to feel very relaxed all day and full of delicious food and they were just that. The waiting staff were all very professional and their attention to detail was perfection. Our chefs, Kevin, Ana and Bea cooked the most delicious paellas and many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. Hugest thank you to Melissa and her team for making our special day so wonderful. From, Melissa and Daniel.

Vamos Paella catered for our daughters 21st party recently. We were thrilled with the service they provided. Melissa in the office was extremely efficient and friendly and was able to accommodate all our requests. The chefs on the night, Meriel and Oz, cooked us three delicious paella which received great reviews from all our guests! They set about cooking and clearing up without any fuss and allowed me concentrate on getting the party. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you very much!

Melissa was a pleasure to deal with

Melissa was a pleasure to deal with, very helpful and responsive to my questions. Vamos Paella provided a bespoke menu of tapas and paella, accompanied by breads and salads, all of which my 70 guests thoroughly enjoyed. Melissa's staff Marcin the chef helped by Meriel and Hannah on the bar, provided seamless, unobtrusive service and helped the party go extremely smoothly.

Melissa and her team were absolutely amazing. They gave us a very bespoke service for our garden party of 25-40 guests. The food was unbelievable and our chefs on the day (Marcin and Gary) were charming and very professional. Seeing the paellas cooked on large pans before our eyes was a great spectacle and I think it says a lot that we ate enough food for 40 people even though there were only about 26 of us that turned up! Cannot recommend these guys more highly.

Brilliant!!

Brilliant!!! Easy planning, always prompt responses, delicious food (as certified by 100 wedding guests!) great service on the day. Meilissa & her team were very efficient & caring! Once they arrived, they kept everything quietly moving along, they kept me well topped up with prosecco & canapes & checked in that we were happy with everything. They even did a very kind emergency red wine & rum run to the supermarket part way through the day. I would very strongly recommend vamos paella to any friend!

We have just used Vamos Paella for a garden party for 40 people.
We chose their seafood paella and their rice with black squid ink and squid. Both of them were stunning and bursting with flavour. We also had a selection of tapas which were equally amazing and beautifully presented. The chefs were delightful, charming, helpful and professional as was Melissa whom we dealt with from start to finish. Having travelled extensively in Spain and love Tapas and Paella we could not recommend Vamos Paella more highly.
They offer a superb service, and whilst generous with their portions, this does not impact on the high quality of their food. We have since received numerous compliments from our guests.

Outstanding Paella and service

We contacted Melissa to cater for our evening house party in North London for 60 people. From start to finish we experienced exceptional service. We had planned to use our garden, someone had other ideas it’s started raining at 2pm and didn’t stop! - we were a bit stressed, but once our Chef Oz turned up and started cooking the paella from the Comida Menu that we had chosen, we knew it was all going to be ok. Two wonderful ladies, accompanied Oz, Meriel & Ruta who took control of setting up the bar, and then serving food & drink. The clearing up and washed glasses just happened! It made the party effortless for us, we had such a great time - thank you.

Exceptional

I cannot recommend Vamos Paella highly enough. All the food was exceptional, the portions were huge and the service was second to none. Everyone commented on the food - it was incredible. Melissa and her staff went above and beyond to make sure our party for 120 people went without a hitch.
