Party fish and chip van in Send Marsh, fried fresh
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for children’s parties and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Send Marsh, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Questions from Send Marsh
Can the van park in White Rose Lane?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
