DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Lunchtime staff treats in Caring are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
