How far ahead should we book?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
