BURGER VAN HIRE IN CRAWLEY & SUSSEX FROM THE LITTLE CRICKET | HIGH-END CATERING FOR YOUR EVENT
Think about your own experiences of buying a burger away from the famous fast-food chains.
There is every chance you will be visualising a van parked up at a funfair, in a lay-by, set up on a retail park or sitting on the street while walking to a football ground. The impression won’t be a great one, so you may already be wondering why you are considering burger van hire at all. After all, it makes sense that you would want something a little more upmarket in terms of how food is presented and served when you are trying to find a catering service for an event.
The Little Cricket is not your everyday burger van.
Yes, you can hire us.
Yes, we can oversee the catering.
But when we attend events in Crawley, or in the surrounding Sussex area, we know that you will want to make the right impression. After all, how your guests perceive the catering at your event reflects back on you as an organiser. When you choose The Little Cricket for burger van hire, it is important that we can serve freshly-prepared food from a varied menu, offer great service and, most of all, add to the event’s atmosphere without any of the cheap associations.
And this is exactly what we will do when you hire our services.
Burger van catering has come a long way in recent years and we understand the associations that people sometimes have with a more traditional burger van. This is why The Little Cricket has developed a brand that brings this style of catering back into the modern age.
We back this with traditional, good old-fashioned client service.
IMAGE & FOOD QUALITY
If you are planning a corporate event or want simple catering for a milestone celebration, there will be worries about guest perceptions. Is burger van hire appropriate? Will guests consider it fast food? How are products sourced and made? Is the food freshly prepared and served? Will the quality be acceptable? Above all, will the presentation match the standard of the event?
Let’s start with the presentation.
We work from a clean, fully-equipped and modern van with a five-star hygiene rating. All staff working at your event will have a Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety Certificate, and our van will be immaculately turned out on the day. Instead of supplying fast food, we source our burgers from The Sussex Peasant and our buns from Chalk Hills Bakery. These are bought fresh on the day, and our food is always cooked fresh to order so we can uphold our quality standards.
This is burger van catering with a difference.
The Little Cricket delivers a food experience so clients from the Crawley and Sussex areas get a feel for who we are as soon as the booking is made. And, on the day itself, guests will smell our food being freshly cooked, love the activity we create, and will want to become a part of it.
We balance the informality of burger van catering with the professionalism events deserve.
MENU CHOICES
Naturally, the food served needs to have a little variation. Most of us enjoy eating a burger from time to time but if your guests fancy something different on the day, you will want to know that we can give them choices, adapt to the occasion and be able to cater to adults and children.
Just because you are using a burger hire service, you won’t necessarily need to eat one.
But for those who do, The Little Cricket can serve beef, chicken and chilli burgers to order, has several different hot dogs on the menu, and offers a range of extras to make both even tastier. If you would prefer a jacket potato, topped with beans, bacon, cheese or chilli, just ask for one at the counter. And for your own Little Crickets, we have a varied children’s menu to enjoy too.
For events starting early, breakfast boxes and sticks are available, as is a delicious selection of muffins, and we always stock a wide selection of hot drinks, chilled drinks and refreshments.
As you can see, burger van catering has stepped off the street into the modern age.
READY TO SERVE WHEN YOUR GUESTS ARRIVE
Let us know how many people are attending your event and we will make sure we have enough product, enough staff and enough foresight to have everything we need in place on the day. The Little Cricket will arrive at a time to suit your schedule, set up and be ready to start making fresh food to order as soon as the first guests arrive. All we ask is you allocate us space for our van and enough room for people to queue comfortably. We can remain at events in Crawley and Sussex for as long as you need us to and cope well with queues. Based on how the event is organised, you can cover the bill or we can take payments from your guests when they order.
Burger van catering should add to the enjoyment of the event from the first moment to the last but we are always aware things could change quickly, especially with the weather. Hire a burger van with confidence knowing our service area is covered by a canopy to keep people dry.
And after the last guest has eaten, we will even take care of the clean-up.
The Little Cricket understands that your event is important, but you are equally important to us. We want guests to remember the occasion as a resounding success and to think of you as the person who put the event together so well. With our burger van hire service, we take full control of the catering side of the gathering so you have one less thing to tick off on your to-do list.
You can also use The Little Cricket for hog roasts and street food catering.
