Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
