Our Story

The Hot Potato Tram didn’t just drop out of thin air (although you’d be forgiven for thinking we’re heaven sent). We’ve been a Preston Superstar since 1955 and continue to give the people what they want. Want to know more about the history of our tram? Take a look at Our Story here.

Events

That’s right – our tiny spud tram even goes on the road! If you’re looking for good hearty food, at a reasonable price served from the snazziest tram this side of the Pennines, then look no further! Take a gander at our Events page to see the different packages we offer.

Looking to scratch that parched pea itch with a goodybag? Wanting our retro tram to rock up at your event? Just want to natter to Tony about how great spuds are? Whatever the reason, we’re just a phone call away and happy to answer any questions you may have. You can find our contact information here. You don’t get to be a Lancashire Legend without gaining a few fans. We’re lucky enough to have some super supporters and die-hard parch pea fans that have helped to build us to what we are today. Here we let our fans be heard! Welcome to Tram Fan Corner. The great debate – which filling is best? I believe it was Salvador Dali that said,

“Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it.”

And he held that belief right up until he took a mouthful of our cheese-loaded jacket spud. Nowt more perfect than that, eh Salvi? Fantastic food and service. Tony is great and answers any questions you have straight away. Very reasonably priced and something different for any party you may have.
