With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
