Common questions in Stoke
How far is Stoke from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Stoke?
The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to Stoke?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Stoke and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In December, it’s dark in Stoke by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
