Planning a party in Uckfield
Uckfield is about 9 miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex.

Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 14 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that Uckfield has its own station, Uckfield station.

- Have a back-up for special diets

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm allergies by email
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Uckfield is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
