Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

- Find out what documents the site needs
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
- Consider a pre-order list
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
