When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
