Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A clear way in for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
