Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
