Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
