Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
