About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Community events around Tyburn
Tyburn is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Events in Tyburn are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
PTAs at schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of the Annunciation, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Tyburn questions
Could you trade in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Tyburn?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
