Should I sort the food myself?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
