Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A chip van compared with other options
