Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
