Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For event organisers in Wooburn Common
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
