Crocus Paella Full Description
At Crocus Paella, we use only the finest Spanish ingredients and locally sourced produce to create very special and delicious paellas, which we cook from scratch in our authentic giant pans bringing the full Spanish experience to your wedding. We serve the paella to your guests, piping hot, straight from the pan. All our Paellas are gluten, dairy and nut free and what makes all types of our paellas special is we use one of the world's most intense and valuable varieties of saffron, Krokos Kozanis. And we combine a passion for food with a love of Spain, offering a truly unique and flexible service. We have been awarded with the the Healthy Choice Award, by Brighton & Hove City Council, which certifies that our business supports its customers by offering healthy food choices, based on healthy cooking methods and ingredients. Our recipes and experience come from our family background, who own a traditional restaurant in a small village near Alicante in Spain. We have learnt from the very best and we would love to bring a taste of Spain to your event!

We can't speak highly enough of them

The Crocus Paella team are helpful, courteous, communicative and most importantly provide some quality and tasty food. They helped us provide the exact service we wanted at our wedding (dinner for 140 people) and we can't speak highly enough of them and how they acted throughout the whole process. We would recommend them for any party/ wedding/ function that you are hosting.

Absolutely wonderful paella!

Absolutely wonderful paella! We used Crocus for our son's engagement party, everybody loved the paella - we had seafood and chicken and I think it shored everyone up for a night of dancing. Crocus are such lovely people - we were glad we chose them.

THE BIGGEST thank you for catering for our wedding

We owe you THE BIGGEST thank you for catering for our wedding! The food was incredible, our guests loved it and the portion size was excellent! The salads and bread really complemented the paella. It really felt like you were a part of the wedding, it was such fun to have you cooking the paella during the afternoon so the guests could see it being made, it made it all the more special! Not only was the food amazing, but you were also so flexible on the day with timings as well and we really appreciated that. We are also so grateful for all the help you gave us on the lead up to the wedding. You were so efficient, made everything so clear to us and gave us many ideas as well. You really did make it all very easy and stress free for us. Thank you for everything you did to make the wedding a success, we simply could not recommend you highly enough! We will send you some photos when we get them! Verity and Mike

*how* can you not give 5 stars?

When you have 120 guests all saying you had the best-catered wedding they've ever been to *how* can you not give 5 stars ***** With HUGE delicious portions that left no one disappointed, I was beyond impressed beyond all expectation. The staff, oh my gosh - from Jenny who helped us through the seamless booking process to the team of Paella master chefs on the day who greeted each and every person with a big smile and an even bigger plate of paella 😍 10/10 will book again whenever & where ever I am able. I can't thank you all enough for being apart of the perfect day x

Everyone commented on how good the Paella tasted!

Hello Guys, We both wanted to say a massive thank you for your stunning food at the wedding, everyone, I mean everyone commented on how good the Paella tasted. In the blur on the day we didn't even notice your professional tent and kitchen area getting set up, we hadn't told the guests what the food was going to be so everyone was very excited to see the big metal paella pans getting set up. Thank you once again extremely impressed with the service and the quality of the food. Cheers, Fraser and Karen

You made the occasion a very special one indeed!

Dear Nick, Yana and team! We wish to convey our huge appreciation for the wonderful Paellas created and served up at Hugo's Party yesterday! We truly appreciated the huge effort your team made to drive up from Brighton in the snow then stand around for a couple of chilly hours to ensemble the feast! We hope the fire pit helped a little! Please pass on our praise and gratitude! Crocus Paella certainly made the occasion a very special one indeed! Thank you! Ingrid & Hugo x
