Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
