Weddings in Framfield: venues, ceremonies and travel
Framfield is about 1 mile east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Framfield is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Framfield is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 15 miles away.
After a ceremony at a church like St Thomas à Becket Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. Guests coming by rail will want to know that Uckfield station, about 1.6 miles west, is the nearest station. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Framfield, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check vehicle access with the venue.
Anywhere in TN22, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a wedding at a home on The Street, Preston Grove and Framelle Mount, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to weddings 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). Further out, we also take the van to 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).

About our wedding fish and chip van in Framfield
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For evening food for day and evening guests and second-day and after-party food, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
Rural weddings around Framfield have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in Framfield is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Count suppliers working late
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
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
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Framfield

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Framfield questions
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St Thomas à Becket Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Framfield.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
