Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
