Common questions in Stoke Hammond
Do you come out to small places like Stoke Hammond?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Stoke Hammond?
Bletchley station, about 2.8 miles north of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
