Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
