Christmas parties in Northease: local tips
Northease is about 3 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. In and around Northease, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We serve all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 6 miles away.
If a church like St Peter's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

FAQs for Northease
Which station is closest to Northease?
The closest is Southease station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far is Northease from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
