Running an event in Send Marsh
Send Marsh is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. From the centre of Send Marsh to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Send Marsh is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St William of York, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Events in parks such as White Rose Lane need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Within about 6 miles is the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
Here we cover the GU23 postcode area. Streets in the area include Send Marsh Road, Tuckey Grove and Stringhams Copse, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Common questions in Send Marsh
Do you come out to small places like Send Marsh?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Send Marsh?
Clandon station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Send Marsh stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
