Booked for Engagement

Spencer cooked an excellent paella. We had many positive comments from our guests. The portions were good and there was enough for a few second helpings. The cost per person was reasonable in comparison to some, with no reduction in quality. I would definitely use Spanglish again.

Booked for Birthday party

Richie’s comms prior to the event were excellent. Arrived promptly, quietly got on with cooking, dish served on time, excellent portion sizes and most importantly, was absolutely delicious.

Booked for Birthday party

Our decision to chose Richie to cater my 50th birthday party was the best decision we made! He was super helpful, organised, flexible and calm despite the appalling weather forecast. The paella was absolutely perfect and catered to all dietary requirements. Our guests commented on the quality of the food and the generous portions and also what a nice guy Richie was! Many have asked where we found him. Thanks Richie. 😊

Richie was great from booking to the event! He was so helpful with allergies and just everything was great! The food was incredible and everyone had an empty plate at the end! Thank you so much and I will definitely be recommending Richie to others and will 100% use Richie again! Thank you for a great meal and experience!

Booked for Birthday party

I booked Crocus for my daughter’s 21st birthday party and they were totally brilliant from start to finish and would recommend them highly. Communication during the planning period was clear and helpful and they went to a lot of trouble to ensure that we had sufficient space and facilities for tent (just power and water). On the night itself they were prompt, extremely friendly and efficient, set up a beautifully festooned tent with a happy birthday light box and most importantly produced the most delicious paella. The guests loved it and best of all they boxed up the leftovers which were devoured at 2am and then enjoyed post clear up - would definitely use them again next time I have the energy to host a party!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
