Subway Makes Jacket Potatoes Permanent Across All 2,132 UK Stores

Subway says a successful trial proved demand for the baked potatoes.

Overview

  • Branded Spudway, the baked potatoes are now available nationwide with options such as cheese and beans, tuna mayo, Meatball Marinara and chicken tikka.
  • Subway says the February–April trial in about 170 stores lifted same‑store sales and guest traffic, prompting the full rollout.
  • The chain highlights full customisation using existing protein, salad and sauce counters, with potatoes baked in‑store and offered solo or in meal deals.
  • Media reports indicate prices vary by location, with cited ranges roughly in the mid‑to‑high single pounds, and some outlets listing examples around £7–£9.
  • Reaction online is mixed over value, though franchisees report the item has drawn new visitors and broadened choices for regulars.
