Hi,
Yes it is methylated spirit (purple) if you live in the UK, a rough guide is to allow yourself around 1/2 litre methylated spirits for cooking per person per week. hope this was useful

Yes, methylated spirit is the fuel of choice for the spirit burning stoves. This gives a clean and efficient flame. Meths goes under many guises around the globe, but Trangia helpfully publish a list of local names for the fuel on their website. http://www.trangia.se/core/files/2222.Names%20of%20fuels%20in%20different%20countries.pdf

Hi, sorry about delay, only just found your question. Yes, Meths are the recommended fuel, although try out the meths that you lay your hand on before you leave for holiday, ideally both indoors and outdoors. See my review for more info. Hope that's useful.
