- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
