Subway has rolled out a major menu change in more than 170 UK stores but only for a limited time. The fast food restaurant chain is branching out from its standard offering of sandwiches and wraps to offer jacket potatoes for the first time.
The “Spudway” menu option allows customers in select UK restaurants to order a hot, fluffy jacket potato loaded with a variety of toppings. These include cheese and beans and tuna mayonnaise, alongside Subway fan-favourites like chicken tikka, rotisserie style chicken and bacon, and taco beef, with minced beef in Mexican taco spices with onions, red peppers, sweetcorn and black beans.
But Subway says all spuds are fully customisable with the variety of ingredients available in restaurants, so customers can pick and choose what they want as a topping, such as a Meatball Marinara jacket potato.
All the spuds are made fresh in-stores daily and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a meal deal, which includes a spud and a drink, plus crisps or a cookie.
The Spudway menu is being trialled in more than 170 Subway restaurants across the UK for a limited time from now until April 15, or while stocks last, with a potential nationwide rollout later this year.
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!”
