About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 party.
