Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
