What else we do in Longford
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
