Fish and chip van for events in Romney Street
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
