DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. Hot food can be more welcome. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
