DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
