DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
