When you, your family or your guests need to be fed properly - but without the formality, having to stick to a fixed time or interrupting the rest of your day - The Little Cricket is here to help. The options are out there but, sometimes, they won’t fit in well with your plans. We understand that what you might want to eat will often come down to something as simple as what you fancy at the time. What you need is a simple, no-nonsense solution. We will be there to provide it.
Your search for a street food catering experience stops here.
Pick up evening meals to take home after a long day when you don’t have enough energy left to cook for the family. Call us if hosting an event to take advantage of our practical menu choices. Having to feed everyone shouldn’t take priority over the reason why you brought them together.
We cater for events and occasions in Crawley and the surrounding Sussex area.
Enjoy your familiar favourites, settle down with a special or visit us if we have an exciting theme night planned. When it comes to catering, street food should be kept simple. It all comes down to good planning and good food, so, whether you are looking for a freshly prepared burger with locally sourced ingredients or a tasty pork curry, our street food suits many different tastes and our menu regularly changes based on what we have planned.
And don’t forget Taco Tuesdays or the special events we hold, which often involve hog roasts!
Food doesn’t always need to be formal. Street food works well for events or gatherings, and for those midweek nights or weekends when you don’t have time to cook or need more freedom to focus on other things. If you are considering street food catering for an event, the chances are that you already have something more informal in mind. Guests do not need to be seated and served, nor to eat at the same time, when you don’t want everything else to stop for the meal.
We want your event to be about you and what you have planned.
With street food, people can move around and mingle freely, have fun and take part in whatever you have organised. Once the hunger pangs hit, they can then come to our van to be served.
Street food catering really is that simple.
This service is suitable for:
By not being tied down to a table, attendees can mix at a pace to suit the event. This can create a fun, social and vibrant atmosphere. People get to enjoy themselves and can eat when they are ready.
Street food catering gives people from Crawley and Sussex the choice of enjoying their familiar favourites, such as burgers using patties from The Sussex Peasant and buns from Chalk Hills Bakery. Our wider selection of street food also includes hot dogs and topped jacket potatoes.
The great thing about street food, however, is its variety.
Our specials give you even more choice, with a pork curry being one example available from the van or supplied at events. If you want a break from your midweek routine and leave the cooking with us, come along on Taco Tuesdays. This is a themed event held on a regular basis so, if you happen to see us in town, please walk up and ask us when the next Taco Tuesday is planned.
Alternatively, call us now on 07592 305 988.
And keep an eye out for our other special events, including hog roast nights.
The Little Cricket is always on the lookout for exciting menu additions that fit in well with street food catering. We want walk-up customers and event guests to enjoy the different varieties of freshly prepared food we can offer, served to order direct from our van.
If booking us for an event, please ask about different food requirements when discussing your menu choices.
If you would like to book street food catering for a planned event, call The Little Cricket.
And, if there is a particular food we have mentioned here that you would prefer us to serve, ask during your call and we will let you know if this is possible based on how far in advance you are booking. We will let you know how much space to allocate so we can park up safely, and how much room is needed for guests to queue without interrupting other activities at your event.
Our van has a five-star hygiene rating and will be appropriately presented. All staff assigned to your event will have a Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety Certificate.
We deal with queues efficiently, plan how much freshly prepared food to bring with us based on the number of guests you have asked us to cater for, and deliver an informal but polite service. We remain on-site for the agreed service period, and The Little Cricket even deals with cleaning up the space you have allocated to us after service has finished.
