DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Adisham until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
