Testimonials

September 2019 - Steyning

We recently used Crocus Paella for our festival style wedding. From start to finish it was amazing. We had the pleasure of talking to Jenny in the office, she was really personable & her communication was excellent. They catered for vegan, gluten free, no dairy, nut allergies & crohn's, to name just a few of our dietary requirements & information on this was really thorough. George lead a team on site, cooking up a storm. Every time I looked over, they were always smiling & interacting with our guests. We had so many compliments on the paella/tapas & the portion sizes were huge, great value & perfect to line our stomach's for the night ahead. The new Mrs & Mrs Burton-Flint cannot recommend Crocus Paella enough. 10/10!!


September 2019 - Maidenhead

Just great Paella, we had three types for our big bash. The chicken and seafood, chicken and chorizo, and vegan. We only got great feedback from everyone who tried them. Friendly, efficient and quality food at a reasonable price. Thank you to the Crocus team.

Crocus Paella are just amazing! Not only have we already had them coming to our studio to feed our team a few times, but on Friday they cater for our Summer Party at Preston Park and it was a success. Everyone loved it! We had to add a few extra portions on the day and there was not a problem. They are very professional and just a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely keep in touch for future events and Friday lunches at the studio. Keep making yummy Paellas!!.

The team at Crocus Paella are highly professional and offer a first class service. From the very initial communication I felt confident that I'd made the right booking of food vendor. I instantly knew that our guests were in for an excellent experience (and that's what it is with the cooking all done fresh on site). Those huge dishes full of delicious paella really is a sight to behold. I would highly recommend anyone to book Crocus Paella - your guests will thank you that you did

We had two types of paella at our event. The Vegan and the Chicken, both were amazing. All of our guest commented on how delicious the food was. I found the staff to be very friendly, approachable and hard working. At the end of serving, the remaining paella was boxed into portions for us and was as delicious to eat the next day. I would definitely recommend to others and would re-book if I had another event.

I can't recommend Crocus Catering highly enough. Friendly people, efficient service, wonderful food. If that wasn't enough we were also handed a complimentary bottle of Rioja wine to boot!

I thoroughly recommend Crocus Paella - the food was delicious and portions very generous. The team were a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end and really contributed to the success of our Festival party. Guests are still talking about the food - and I am very grateful to Crocus for their excellent catering. Thank you again!

Thank you so much! We absolutely loved the pallas.
Everyone was so impressed with the 2 paellas (chicken and sea food) at our outdoor party with about 70 people!! We've had a number of guests commenting on how great the food was as well as all of the staff. I would definitely recommend Crocus Paella again - the staff were sweet, punctual, professional and completely efficient. They arrived with their own lighting and gazebo and they have also packed up any leftovers afterwards. Great value for money as the quote included the boxes and wooden cutlery. Thank you guys. We would strongly recommend you anytime and we hope to use you again one day.

All the best

Crocus Paella attended our event last Sunday and made the most beautiful vegan paella which went down a hit with our visitors.
Thank you so much. Beautiful food & lovely people.

We booked Crocus Paella for our wedding and it was just perfect. Everyone absolutely loved the food, the staff were super nice and it was very uncomplicated to work with them as they basically took care of everything themselves - they came, fed 200 people and left as if they'd never been there.
Can definitely recommend them!!!

Fantastic Food, Highly Recommend.
Crocus Paella catered for our wedding. They were so friendly, helpful and flexible in the arrangements for the run up to the day. On the day they were punctual, cooked FANTASTIC food (everyone wished they had space for more), the portions were really generous and they even boxed up the left-overs at the end. I would highly recommend Crocus Paella to anyone who was considering them for an event.

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!

Crocus Paella did an excellent job at feeding 250 people on our staff investment day! Everyone loved their paella and cake, and the portions were very generous too. The lovely team was extremely self sufficient and organised, they arrived nice and early and when it came to serving food we had no queues. This is the second time we are using them and no doubt we will be using them again!

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 stressfree for us.

Hi Nick, I wanted to extend my thanks to yourself for everything today.

The guys who turned up were friendly and professional and did your company proud.

They nailed the timings and we managed to serve the whole company between 12:15-12:30.

In addition, the food was great – a number of my colleagues managed to take a second portion for dinner.

Kind Regards,

 I would definitely recommend Crocus paella to cater for an event. We hired them for my sons christening and were very happy with the service they provided. The paella was freshly cooked on site, was delicious and plentiful (seconds were offered) and the price we paid was very competitive. They were also very friendly and reliable.

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,
