Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Count families who are joining in
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
