The popular eatery on Uckfield's High Street has been gutted after a huge blaze

An investigation is currently underway after a huge fire broke out at Maximum Diner on Uckfield's High Street earlier this week. The owners of the business have taken to social media to share the news that they were broken into, which unfortunately resulted in a fire at the premises.

They have stated that the popular restaurant will be closed for a while, until they can rebuild and make the premises safe.
