Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
