Great Service with a Smile!

We ask Vic Graham’s customers about their fantastic potato delivery services

Vic Graham first started selling potatoes back in 1975 and has since become a trusted name within the industry. By building strong relationships with both the growers and the fryers and ensuring a reputation based on trust in providing the best frying potatoes, they have become the chosen supplier for numerous fish & ship shops, takeaways, restaurants, and pubs throughout the Northwest.

As a family run business, our team of staff are also part of the family. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the enthusiasm and work ethic of our team, many of which have been with us for years, even decades in some cases!

We are dedicated to looking after all our customers by offering superb quality products at a fair and competitive price.

Mark, Vic’s youngest son, joined the business full time in 2000, building up his experience first-hand he worked his way through every aspect of the business – from van lad to driver, running the office and managing the accounts through to the buying and selling, on a daily basis.

In July 2019 with Vic wanting to take steps into retirement after 45 years, the business changed to Vic Graham & Son Ltd. Mark now runs the business, driving it forward whilst maintaining the relationships and reputation already built.

The business has gone from a 1-man delivery service to a team dedicated to providing the best service. Four vehicles go out daily to various areas within the NW, each carrying up to 12 tonnes. The rounds are now purposely arranged so that if you are running short, a vehicle will always be close by.

Based in Bury, Greater Manchester, we are ideally located to cover all areas within the Northwest – Manchester, Leeds, Blackpool, Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Stockport, Ashton, Oldham and Rochdale are just some of the areas covered. All surrounding areas are easily reachable for us to accommodate your needs.

Don’t just take our word for it, here are a few of our customers thoughts on our service: John Hills – Hills Fish & Chips Middleton Manchester

“Here at Hills, we pride ourselves on using the best ingredients in our fish & chips. One of the main components are the potatoes we source. Thankfully Vic Graham are on-hand to look after us. They deliver to us on a regular basis and their service is fantastic. Their knowledge of what varieties are available is second to none and this helps us to provide

a consistently good product to our customers.”

“We have been using Vic Graham for our potatoes for many years. They always deliver us the best potato available, whatever time of year it is. Their drivers are very friendly, and the service is very good, from the warehouse to the drivers they have always been on point with us and go way beyond to keep us happy. Their knowledge of potato varieties and what suits us best is fantastic too.”

Sykes Fish & Chips Swinton

“We use Vic Graham for our chipping potatoes for a number of reasons. They have a great service; they deliver on a regularly basis and have lots of varieties to choose from. The lads who deliver are extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble. They always give us the best price too.”

Armstrong’s Fish & Chips Prestwich

“I’ve been a customer of Vic Graham’s now for over 30 years & never once have I thought of changing potato suppler. Why? Because having deliveries Mon, Wed, & Friday you need to know the potatoes are going to be of the highest standard possible at any time of year. I now count them as personal friends. Their hard work ethic and never in it to make a fast buck has built up Vic Graham’s to what it is now.”

Tracy from Taylor’s Fish & Chips Blackpool

We couldn’t be happier with the product & the friendly team who deliver. Nothing is too much trouble. They have a great choice of potatoes and also give us the best prices too.
