Weddings in Stonegate: venues, ceremonies and travel
Stonegate is about 9 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. From the centre of Stonegate to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Stonegate is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 26 miles away.
Historic houses near Stonegate include Wadhurst Castle (3 miles north-west) and Bateman's (3 miles south). Grand venues like these normally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. It’s worth telling train travellers that the closest railway station is Stonegate station, roughly 1 mile south-west of the centre. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 3 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access with the venue.
Here we cover the TN5 postcode area, so your wedding can be anywhere in it. Whether your wedding is on Station Road, Forge Field and Lymden Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
