Years of
Experience
When the to-do list is getting longer and time is running low, what you plan to feed guests at an event will be one less thing to worry about. The Little Cricket takes the catering out of your hands and places the responsibility on us.
We offer a high-end burger, hog roast and street food catering experience.
And, being based in Crawley, we cover the whole of Sussex.
The Little Cricket understands the concerns event organisers have so if you are worried there won’t be enough food, it won’t be ready on time, or people might have to queue for ages and miss the highlights of your event, we want to put your mind at ease.
We arrive at your venue, set up where you would prefer us to, and will be ready to serve freshly-prepared food to your attendees as soon as they arrive, continuing for as long as you need us to.
Try not to think of The Little Cricket as a food truck.
Our burger van hire service is adaptable, as are our menus, and both add an element of class to your gathering.
Our menus have plenty of food choices for everybody
We can accommodate specific dietary requirements
All produce is sourced locally to uphold quality
Presentation will be appropriate for your occasion
You can cover the bill or we can take money on the day
And, prior to your event, there will always be somebody available to talk to you.
Should the weather change, or if other arrangements need to be made for the set-up to work in a way that is more convenient for your guests, we can discuss these things at the right time so everything runs well on the day.
The Little Cricket is an independent and owner-managed burger van, hog roast and street food catering business with 10 years of experience, and we have learned the value of sourcing the freshest ingredients from well-renowned suppliers in our own area.
We are proud to support local farms and suppliers in Sussex wherever we can and this helps to create a circular economy so business stays in our own community. Every burger is produced by The Sussex Peasant and packed with flavour. This is also where we source our fresh eggs.
The same is true of the bun, baked daily by Chalk Hills Bakery so we can serve the freshest product.
A great burger always deserves a great bun.
Whether you are choosing The Little Cricket for burger van hire, or for hog roast hire or street food catering at an event in Crawley or Sussex, we can take the stress out of the planning by bringing our service directly to you and your guests.
We cater to events of every size, working around your own schedule while making our catering service part of your day, not an add-on. We have a five-star food hygiene rating and all staff working at your event will have a Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety Certificate.
The Little Cricket has public liability insurance in place.
We handle the set-up, the preparation, the cooking, the serving and, of course, the clean-up. The host or the organiser is left free to focus on their guests while we see to it that everybody is fed and well looked after.
With burger van, hog roast and street food catering suited to events of every kind, The Little Cricket can provide services to complement the occasion. We realise that how we present ourselves and operate will reflect on you as the event organiser.
This is why we do everything we can to ensure we don't let you down.

Every event is different, so every organiser will have an individual set of needs for us to meet.
We don’t want to just cater to the event. We want to understand it.
The Little Cricket wants to satisfy your guests and leave a lasting impression so, when people look back on your event, we want them to remember you as the person who made it happen.
You may be interested to know that The Little Cricket is a sponsor of Crawley Town F.C. and, if we are not catering to events, can often be found outside the ground selling food on matchdays.
We have our own football team, The Little Cricket F.C., and also play in the Football Mundial 6-a-side format.
