About our corporate fish and chip catering in Trash Green
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for charity days and leaving dos.
Rural businesses around Trash Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

For event organisers in Trash Green
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Trash Green?
The closest is Theale station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Trash Green.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
