Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor & Hope, a popular seaside pub in Whitby, wanted to move away from frozen fries to enhance their 'catch of the day' special. They needed a compact, reliable tool that could handle the lunchtime rush without needing a dedicated power socket in their already busy kitchen.
"We're known for our fresh fish, so serving it with frozen chips just felt wrong. The Tellier chipper is a brilliant bit of kit – it’s sturdy, fast, and the chips are perfectly uniform. Our customers noticed the difference straight away."
Robert Green – Head Chef
Since introducing the house-made chips, the pub reports a 30% increase in sales of its fish and chips, with customer reviews frequently praising the 'proper, hand-cut chips'.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place the cutter on a completely flat and stable work surface before use.
- Ensure the suction-cup feet or base is secure to prevent any movement.
- Choose your desired blade (9mm or 12mm) and slide it securely into the frame.
- Check that the corresponding pusher block is correctly fitted to the handle mechanism.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, clean the unit immediately after use to stop potato starch from drying on.
- The blades are extremely sharp; remove and wash them carefully by hand with warm, soapy water.
- Wipe the stainless steel body and handle down with a food-safe sanitiser and a damp cloth.
- Store in a dry place to protect the blades and mechanism from moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the two chip sizes this cutter produces?
A: The Tellier DN996 comes with two blade and pusher sets, allowing you to make 9mm square 'frites' and chunkier 12mm square chips.
Q: How easy is it to swap between the blades?
A: It’s very simple. The blade and pusher blocks are designed to be swapped out quickly by hand, without the need for any special tools.
Q: Is this chipper suitable for sweet potatoes?
A: While designed for regular potatoes, it can handle softer, firm vegetables. Sweet potatoes are much denser, so it will require significantly more effort to cut them.
Q: Can the unit be fixed to a workbench?
A: It is designed as a freestanding countertop unit. Its sturdy, wide base provides excellent stability during operation without needing to be permanently mounted.
Q: What's the best way to clean it?
A: We strongly recommend hand-washing. The blades should be handled carefully and washed in warm, soapy water. The main body can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and sanitiser.
Q: Is this considered a heavy duty potato cutter?
A: Yes, its full stainless steel construction and robust mechanism are designed to withstand the demands of daily use in a commercial kitchen environment.
Q: What type of potatoes give the best results?
A: For classic chips, high-starch potatoes like Maris Piper, King Edward, or Russet varieties work brilliantly, giving you a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
Q: Does it require any electricity?
A: No, this is a fully manual piece of equipment. It's ready to use anywhere, anytime, without needing a power socket.

Having two interchangeable blades (9mm and 12mm) isn't just about offering a 'small' or 'large' chip. It's about giving you complete creative control over your menu. Think of it like a chef having two different knives for two different jobs. The 9mm blade is your go-to for creating elegant, crispy 'frites' that pair beautifully with a steak or mussels. The 12mm blade, on the other hand, produces those quintessentially British, chunky chips that are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside – the perfect partner for battered fish. This simple system lets you tailor your potato offering with precision, all from one compact machine.
