Our Customer Comments
Absolutely amazing meal for us and 25-30 friends. Took all the hassle out of the evening and everyone said the food was fantastic. Mel and Jorge were lovely and the paella was bang on time and piping hot.
Can’t wait to have another bash to book them again.
Chris & Helen
Absolutely love Autentico!! Paella’s are amazing..We had a dinner party and Melani and Jorge catered for us, we literally did nothing, Paella arrived exactly the time we requested, they are very professional, you get follow up messages, Melani even checks Google maps to ensure traffic doesn’t cause a late delivery. We were extremely impressed with the food and the service, would 100% recommend and will definitely use again !!

I decided to have paella for my birthday garden party yesterday for 20 family members.
I found Auténtico online and gave them a call, speaking to the very helpful Mel.
She took great care in helping me decide on the right paella for my party.
Jorge delivered the paella on time and piping hot!
Typical comments from my family were ‘best I’ve tasted’ and I have to concur with that view.
These lovely people deserve to succeed as they offer great food with excellent all round service
Highly recommended!
Roy
Autentico provided the catering for our garden party of about 40 guests. Mel and Jorge were great, so helpful and professional. Mel helped plan the menu and Jorge explained each dish on arrival. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish a delight! All the guests were raving about it. The tortilla, paella and custard tarts were a particular highlight. Highly recommend!

Excellent Paellas. Delivered on time with clear and effective instructions on how to use and store leftovers. We had a seafood and a chicken paella, and also the cheesecake. The flavours were superb as attested by our guests who knew a great paella when they tasted one.
A perfect choice for a small gathering (or large). Highly recommended.

Thank you Mel and Jorge for a wonderful meal, delivered as a surprise for my friends 40th. We had an amazing feast of the Iberian meat and cheese platter, garlic king pawns, the Valencia Paella 🥘 , salad and Tarte de Santiago. All were beautiful and the Paella stayed hot for over an hour while we tucked into the Pinchos and Prawns. Value for money and portion sizes are excellent (we all had a takeaway for the next day). The aromas were beautiful, the food is so fresh, it may be the closest we get to a holiday this year! Prior to the delivery I had to switch dates due to the weather and Mel was very accommodating. I highly recommend Authentico and can’t wait to order again!! Thank you 🥘❤️🍷🍽

Such a lovely experience ordering from Autentico!
Impressive presentation, lovely to deal with, very tasty and the highest quality food and fab value for money! I will be back and so will my friends! Perfect for a home celebration!
Jess Yeo
I used Autentico for two events. The food was amazing at both. I ordered paella’s for the large party of over 80 guests and these all tasted fantastic. I wanted a vegan paella and this was also gorgeous. Melani and Jorget were incredibly accommodating, fitting around all my timings and special requests. All my guests commented on how amazing the food looked but that it tasted even better. We will definitely be using Autentico again. Thank you for making my 50th birthday so special and memorable
