Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
