Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
