Roadside unattended jam stall, Stoke by Nayland Do retail outlets get any smaller? Outside a house in the narrow lane of Scotland Street, Stoke by Nayland, were two chairs holding homemade jam and chutney. We put our £2 in the honesty box for a jar of chutney, and found it excellent. The labels from "Jam Today!" gave us an email address and phone number for ordering more.
