DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Shootash
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
