Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices

What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
