How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Autumn and winter parties in Northease get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in

Questions from Northease
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to Northease?
We do. Northease is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Northease.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

What to look for in a quote
- How allergens are handled
- VAT, if it applies
- Whether travel is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Show us where the van would go
Keep the queue away from the road.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
