In November last year Reading confirmed they would not be renewing their contract with Blue Collar Street Food, the independent street-food company.
The Reading-based company serves residents in the town’s Market Place Square, as well as catering outside the Select Car Leasing Stadium before the club decided to not renew the contract.
The decision proved divisive at the time with Royals supporters, with this discontent only growing stronger following the return of fans to grounds.

Many have used social media to vent their frustration at the current refreshment options at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
Madeline Adams wrote: "The atmosphere outside the stadium used to be brilliant - good beer, a variety of unusual and tasty food, and we even met some of the players in the games room.
"Bring back @bluecollarfood and you’ll have loads of goodwill from the fans."

Tom Light tweeted: "Won’t spend a penny inside the stadium this season - just drinks from the Jazz or outside.
"Happily spent the best part of a tenner a game on the brilliant @bluecollarfood, but I’d rather starve on a Tuesday night now."
Fan account readingfclens added: "Bring back @bluecollarfood - absolutely woeful food at the Stadium now.
"Wouldn’t even feed it to my dog. Can’t believe the club has made such an awful decision to get rid of a local business."
In a statement, the club said that they would be 'assessing the matchday catering options' in the coming weeks.
