What affects the price in Peasemore

Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
