Corporate fish and chip catering in Wargrave, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for team away days and open days.
For businesses around Wargrave, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Consider a pre-order list
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities about access
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Wargrave for staff days and team lunches
Wargrave is about 4 miles north-east of Woodley, in Wokingham. We cover Wargrave as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Wargrave is one of 35 towns and villages in Wokingham we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Wargrave to Reading (6 miles away).
For staff and visitors coming by train, the closest railway station is Wargrave station, roughly 0.7 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Harleyford Manor (4.2 miles north-east) and Greenlands (4.3 miles north). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Wargrave, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
