DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
