DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
