Common questions in Stoke Charity
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Stoke Charity?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 3 miles away.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Stoke Charity
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In Stoke Charity, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
