Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 guests instead.
Where the van can park in Ifieldwood
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
