Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Shortheath
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your staff
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
