This part of Slough takes in SL2. That could mean a staff event at a home on Temple Way, Common Wood and Badgers Wood or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
