A chip van near Charter Alley
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
