About Crocus Paella
WHY CHOOSE US:
It's right in the name "Crocus Sativus", which means saffron. We use only the highest quality saffron, which makes our paellas extra special! But all our ingredients are high quality and locally sourced where possible or imported from Iberica Spanish Food, an award-winning importer of authentic and traditional Spanish products.
We have been awarded with the Healthy Choice Award, by Brighton & Hove City Council, which certifies that we offer healthy food choices, based on healthy cooking methods and ingredients.
All our paellas are gluten & nut free. If you or any of your guests have any particular allergies or special dietary requirements, we'll do our best to cater for them individually, so please let us know.
We serve our food in natural, high-quality biodegradable and compostable palm leaf plates and we provide wooden or corn starch forks instead of plastic, as well as quality napkins - all included in the price. If you require alternative crockery options, we can suggest a catering equipment hire company and we’ll be happy to serve in your selected plates or your even own plates.
We are proud members of NCASS, the Nationwide Caterers Association, following high standards and practices.
We are registered with our Local Authority Environmental Health Department and in all our inspections, we were awarded with a 5 star Hygiene Rating.
We have Public Liability Insurance and all our certificates can be provided upon request.
We take customer service very seriously. Our staff are trained in Food Hygiene and always serve with a big smile!

Awesome - took all the stress away from me
Very polite with awesome food that everyone really enjoyed. Very neat and tidy - wouldn’t even know they’d been in the garden! Loads of delicious fresh food, very tasty that all our guests really enjoyed - it certainly made our entertaining stress free.
Couldn’t recommend you enough, thank you. Karen & Mick
Sensational!
The Crocus Paella team were super professional. We had great communication leading up to our wedding. The whole event service was streamlined and efficient. Our guests loved the spectacle of the paella being cooked when they arrived at our venue and most importantly it was delicious. We were very touched by the wedding present we received from Crocus and it will be a wonderful reminder of the day when we cook paella at home.
Crocus Paella were fantastic!
This was a very late request for paella at a school event, celebrating languages. Crocus Paella were fantastic, communicated quickly and clearly. The chef Jose, was great with the students, happy to explain everything to students both in Spanish and English. The paella was delicious. I cannot fault this company. Thank you.
Lovely people & incredible food! Vegan options 5*
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!!

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend Crocus Paella. They have been brilliant. My client asked for a paella party and of course I did not want to disappoint. I came across Crocus Paella and from the off set they have been brilliant and a perfect supplier to work with so that I could give me client the perfect party. My client described the Paella as first class. I will definitely be using Crocus Paella again for any future events that I do.

Excellent wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them
Very good communication before the event with all the Crocus Paella team. José & Elli were delightful very friendly & all our guests loved them. Excellent paella & salads & the chiros was delicious! They made my birthday celebrations even more special. Thank you José & Elli x
Excellent service and quality of product
George introduced himself politely and calmly. His Team set up their gazebo efficiently and unobtrusively. Every guest I spoke to enjoyed the food very much, and the interaction between guest and Team member appeared to enhance the overall experience. Most importantly, everything was cleared away seamlessly. One observation: some overhanging shelter from the rain whilst waiting to be served would have been comforting. Thank you for the gift of paella ingredients and cooking dish.
Food worthy of the highest praise
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...
