Party fish and chip van for Send events
How our party fish and chip van works in Send
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and kids’ birthday parties, serving gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Around Send, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Send
Could you trade in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Send?
The closest is Clandon station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Send?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Send is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Send parties: what to know
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. We serve parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Send. Send is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover.
If the day starts at St William of York, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Historic houses near Send include Clandon Park (2.9 miles south) and Hatchlands Park (3.4 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Send is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Wherever your party is in GU23, we can bring the van to you. From Sandy Lane, Farm Lane and Sandfields or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Other places close to Send we cover include Send Marsh (1 mile east), Burntcommon (1 mile east), Sutton Green (1 mile south-west), Mayford (2 miles west) and Pyle Hill (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (3 miles south-west), Woking (3 miles north-west), Camberley (9 miles west), Epsom (12 miles east), Farnham (13 miles south-west) and Ewell (13 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Send and Ripley History Society Museum (1.8 miles east) and Woking Community Hospital (2.1 miles north-west). The countryside around Send includes Boldermere Lake and Papercourt Marshes.
- Nearby schools include St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School (1.5 miles north-west) and St John the Baptist School (1.5 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The New Inn (0.5 miles north-west)
A chip van compared with other options
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Send. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Why choose party fish and chip van in Send?
With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. And it’s fun.
Whatever the occasion in Send, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Family reunions
- Anniversary celebrations
- Street parties
- Leaving parties
If you had White Rose Lane in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

What else we do in Send
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Send drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
