Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 typically simpler.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The location’s agreement
- Room for the crew to queue
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
