Fresh fish and chips in Tyburn
About our film set catering in Tyburn
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include crew lunches at base and location filming, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Tyburn, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Shooting in Tyburn: unit bases and access
Tyburn is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. For shoots in Tyburn, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is London Paddington station, roughly 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Handel Hendrix House (0.8 miles east) and Apsley House (0.8 miles south-east). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
This part of Greater London takes in W1H, W1U and W1K. Your shoot could be at a house on Sussex Square, Oxford Square and Bayswater Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. You will find Tyburn on the A4209, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring the van to shoots in Connaught Village (1 mile north-west), Hyde Park Estate (1 mile north-west), Paddington (1 mile north-west), City of Westminster (1 mile east) and Paddington Green (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles north-east), Whitechapel (4 miles east) and Hampstead (3 miles north).

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- Classic food your crew already know
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Hot food handed straight over

Questions from Tyburn
What’s the nearest station to Tyburn?
London Paddington station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Tyburn?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Where the van can park in Tyburn
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Level, firm ground at base
As a London location, Tyburn is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
For event organisers in Tyburn
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
