Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
