Corporate fish and chip catering for Green Park events
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Green Park, fried fresh
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater a monthly Fish Friday and staff appreciation days.
Near Green Park, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve

Staff lunches in Green Park: access and travel

Historic houses near Green Park include Mapledurham House (4.6 miles north-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. For colleagues arriving by train, the closest railway station is Reading Green Park station, roughly 0.5 miles west of the centre.
For staff events in RG2, RG30 and RG7, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Local streets include Sunapee Road, Flagstaff Road and Longwater Avenue; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Green Park, we also cover Great Lea Common (1 mile south-east), Whitley (1 mile east), Whitley Wood (1 mile south-east), Coley Park (1 mile north) and Three Mile Cross (2 miles south-east).

How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an end-of-day event in Green Park, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
