Fish and chip van hire in Framfield, fried fresh
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Framfield. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and fish and chip days at care homes, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a rural place like Framfield, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Framfield: venues, parking and local tips
Framfield is about 1 mile east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. We cover Framfield as standard, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Framfield to Brighton (15 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Framfield Church of England Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. If you had Hempstead Meadow in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Framfield, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.
We take the van to events all over TN22. Streets in the area include The Street, Preston Grove and Framelle Mount, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve events in Etchingwood (1 mile north-east), Uckfield (1 mile west), Blackboys (1 mile east), Potter's Green (2 miles north) and Buxted (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (14 miles south-east), Seaford (13 miles south), Lewes (8 miles south-west), Hailsham (9 miles south-east), Crowborough (6 miles north) and Newhaven (12 miles south).
A little further out are Uckfield Community Hospital (1.2 miles west) and Tickerage Castle (0.8 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Selwyns Wood.
- Local schools include Uckfield College (1.4 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Hare & Hounds pub (less than half a mile south-west)
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins near the queue
- Count children separately
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.
What affects the price in Framfield
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
Send us the date, the address or TN22 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Framfield. Around midsummer it stays light in Framfield until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Events in Framfield and across East Sussex
- Classic food your guests already know

Common questions in Framfield
Which station is closest to Framfield?
Uckfield station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Is Framfield close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
