Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
