Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
