Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Long Wittenham
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
