Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 crew instead.
