Tinseltown has been trading since 1996 and in that time has gone from a small family business to a growing brand with sites in Farringdon, Hampstead, Leicester, Gants Hill and a milkshake bar in Hollywood.

We started off as a single milkshake bar and American Diner with the emphasis on delicious desserts and amazing milkshakes. With that mastered we focussed on making our food every bit as good. But where to start?

Back to Basics

Tinseltown’s response was simple: go back to basics and improve the quality. With consistently high quality we can grow the brand to become a national chain.

In 2009 Tinseltown invested in a Central Kitchen to get complete control of their food production from start to finish.

The reason was that Tinseltown had been relying on 3rd party suppliers of Halal products which had occasionally led to an inconsistency in the quality of our food. If your supplier changes their products, and not always for the better, then it's back to square one to find a better suplier. Multiply this problem for each branch and it could be that a meal in one Tinseltown may not taste the same as the same meal in another branch. We needed quality and a consistency of that quality across all our branches.

Now with our own Central Unit set up to solely supply Tinseltown we are in full control of our products and we know exactly what goes into them.

Direct to Source

With our substantial volume we are able to go direct to source and get the best quality ingredients yet still be priced competitively.

What makes us unique is that we care passionately about our food; not just how we cook it but how we go about sourcing the meats and other ingredients that make our food so great. We have a team of specialist meat buyers with over 25 years experience in the meat trade. So now we get the best quality products direct from source ensuring we get quality time and time again.

We don’t buy cheap meats and flavour them with salt and garlic to hide the taste, which is a trick some less reputable places use. We buy the best meats because we know that people care about what they eat and we feel the true flavour of great meat should be allowed to speak for itself. Customers want to be confident about what is in their product and as we manufacture it ourselves we are able to give that reassurance with confidence.

Come on down and taste the difference.
