Subway to start selling jacket spuds at 170 locations across the UK

It follows the 'jacket potato renaissance' on social media

Subway has announced it is trialling a brand new range of hot, fluffy jacket potatoes in 170 of its restaurants as of February 19.

With a brand new ‘Spudway’ selection on the menu, customers will be able to pick from fillings like the classic Heinz Beanz and Cheese and Tuna Mayonnaise, or Subway fan-favourites such as Chicken Tikka, Taco Beef, or Rotisserie Style Chicken and Bacon. 

But the options won’t be limited to just these flavours, as any Sub can be turned into a spud, so people will be able to get creative and add whatever toppings they fancy.

The jacket potatoes can be enjoyed on their own, or as part of a new meal deal which will include a spud and drink, plus a packet of crisps or a cookie.

The price of the deal hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, but Subway says individual spuds will start from £4.29 (although this will vary by store).

Spudway will be available until April 15 while stocks last, and if the trial proves successful there’s potential for Spudway to be rolled out nationwide later this year. 

Speaking about the launch, Deniz Safa, director of innovation and 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!"
