DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Waddesdon is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
