It was a bleak winter’s day in St Andrews back in 2004, when Nick Willoughby began yet another shift at his local pub. Tired of working for the minimum wage and serving sub-standard food to disgruntled customers, he decided it was time to have a go himself. All he needed to do was apply three basic principles: use quality ingredients, charge a fair price, and make sure the product tasted great. In an instant, Crème de la Crêpe was born!
Nick threw in the towel at the bar and hotfooted it to France where he learned from the masters how to make authentic crêpes. Armed with his newfound swizzle stick action and with a brand-spanking new crêpe machine in tow, he returned to Scotland and began trading in Market Street, St Andrews, where Crème de la Crêpe proved a massive success, and even inspired a song!
Before long, Nick revolutionised the crêpe concept by creating ‘Crêpettes’, delicious bite-sized crêpe canapés, and, along with his trusty support team, entered into the events catering scene. This took Crème de la Crêpe to all the major student events, including the famous St Andrews fashion show, and even down south to the American Embassy in London!
In February 2007, with the concept tried and test, ‘Team Crêpe’ felt it was time to take on the Big Smoke.
With a stand at Borough Market, a super-cool clothing range and a unique event catering concept, Crème de la Crêpe would remain there,growing all the time until Autumn 2008 when they appeared regularly at Covent Garden’s Night Market.
In October 2008, Crème de la Crêpe added smoothies and salads to their repertoire and made the move from market stall into their first ever shop. Located in the world famous Covent Garden Market, this is where you will find them today.
Located in the heart of London’s Covent Garden Market, our Restaurant is the perfect venue for a private party.
Our great location and delicious menu can be exclusively yours, with catered packages available from just £10 per person. Your guests will enjoy 10 delicious Crêpe Canapés each, a full complement of waiting staff and the use of our refrigeration for your drinks.
Suitable for up to 50 guests, Crème de la Crêpe is a unique choice of venue for entertaining friends, family and work mates alike. A choice of booking times are available including mornings and evenings so please contact us for more details: events@cremedelacrepe.co.uk
Hosting an event no matter how large or small, is a stressful business. Crème de la Crêpe is dedicated to ensuring that the one thing you won’t have to worry about is providing your guests with an unforgettable culinary experience. We are able to provide a seamless catering service whatever the nature of your event with the equipment, the expertise and the staff to cater for all your needs.
Since Crème de la Crêpe launched in 2004, we knew we had a great product and always intended to sell our crêpe batter to the mass market; however we struggled with the logistics. Nine years on we now not only have a delicious buttermilk crêpe mix, but we also have our mill able to produce on a large scale and an infrastructure in place to deliver it nationwide.
The Crème de la Crêpe mix is 100% British and in our opinion the best on the market. We currently produce in 3.5kg bags with a shelf life of 12 months and offer free delivery in the UK for orders over 1000kg. For prices and a free sample, please email: batter@cremedelacrepe.co.uk
Nick
Founder
He put on two stone when he first started Crème de la Crêpe. He has only just lost it now, but he still really loves crêpes.
Andrew
Director
Andrew has been helping Nick try and shed the initial weight gain for many years and seems to be making some progress. Being a true Scot he has a particular fondness for haggis filled crêpes. For all things crêpe related, he’s your man!
Alba
Manager
A long suffering member of Team Crêpe. The Spanish powerhouse keeps the boys on their toes and holds the record for the number of Dirty Harrys eaten in one session…¡HOLA!
Jamie
Director
Jamie is very good at eating crêpes but, unfortunately, terrible at making them!
This however gives him plenty of time to provide the rest of the team with invaluable business advice enabling them to carry on doing what they’re best at…making awesome crêpes!
