Fresh chips in Utrecht

Utrecht is a city of students, terraces and late nights, and you can tell from the demand for chips. Friet van Beus supplies fresh chips in Utrecht to owners who want more than a bag from the freezer: chips cut from our own potatoes on our farm in Zeewolde, arriving with you vacuum packed.

A student city that eats late

With a large university and a university of applied sciences in town, Utrecht is always young and always on the move. For many, a portion of chips is the fixed end to a night in the pub, and on Saturday afternoons the terraces along the Oudegracht are packed. The old wharf cellars by the water give the city centre a dining scene you will not find in quite the same form anywhere else.

Utrecht is also a city of events and festivals, and thanks to its central position a great many travellers and visitors pass through every day. For a chip shop or restaurant that means busy peaks, often unpredictable and often late in the evening.

Fresh chips for a discerning crowd

Young guests pay attention to what they eat. They want to know where it comes from and can taste the difference between a uniform frozen stick and a fresh chip. In Utrecht you can make the most of that: chips from a family business that grows its own potatoes, with no additives, suit a city that likes to eat local and honest food.

The difference also lies in how you fry. Fresh chips need two stages: first a blanch at a lower temperature, then a short final fry just before serving. How to organise that in a busy kitchen is explained under frying chips twice. We are also happy to advise on your frying fat and the way you work.

Delivery and planning for Utrecht venues

As a chip supplier in Utrecht we work with two fixed cutting times: Tuesday and Friday morning. After that we deliver the chips ourselves. A Friday delivery fills your fridge for the weekend, while Tuesday covers the weekdays. That way your stock follows the rhythm of the city rather than the other way round.

If you are looking for a chip wholesaler in Utrecht for larger numbers, or chipping potatoes in Utrecht to cut yourself, we also supply whole potatoes. Washed or scraped, and always from our own crop. From September to July that is Agria, and for a few weeks in August Frieslander. You can read about the difference under Agria or Frieslander.
