Christmas party fish and chips in Kingwood Common
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
