Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
