Takeaway run or book a van?

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.

- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Common questions in Stubbington
How far is Stubbington from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Stubbington?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
