Subway launch baked potato trial

But you’ll have to travel an hour to find one of the 170 Subways that are trialling the new menu item.

SPUDWAY™ – the new jacket potato offering from Subway – is available in select restaurants from 19th February.

The fluffy jacket potatoes will be offered with topping options including Cheese & Beans, Tuna Mayonnaise, Taco Beef, Chicken Tikka and Rotisserie Style Chicken & Bacon, and more.

All spuds are fully customisable with the huge variety of ingredients available in restaurants.

Over the past few years, the jacket potato, a warm and comforting classic, has undergone a renaissance and recently found fame on social media, with videos flooding feeds and racking up millions of views.

Among the viral videos include debates on the perfect combinations of toppings.

Deniz Safa, Director of Innovation & Culinary at Subway® EMEA, said: “We’re always looking to bring our fans delicious and customisable options that suit every taste and every budget. Made with British potatoes, salted butter and a double portion of cheese, plus any of our many toppings, Spudway™ is the perfect freshly-made, high-quality lunch choice.

“With jacket potatoes surging in popularity – thanks to their comforting, filling nature and great value – now is the ideal time for Subway® to trial this exciting addition to our menu. Given the recent buzz on social media and growing consumer demand, we’re eager to see how Spudway™ is received, and if our guests love it, this could be just the beginning!”
