Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
