Subway to trial jacket potatoes
Subway has announced it is trialling a brand-new range of hot jacket potatoes in 170 of its restaurants from 19th February. This move follows the 'jacket potato renaissance' across social media.
Customers can choose from a variety of fillings, including classic options like Heinz Beanz and Cheese or Tuna Mayonnaise, along with popular Subway choices such as Chicken Tikka, Taco Beef, or Rotisserie Style Chicken and Bacon. Every Sub can be transformed into a spud, giving customers the freedom to get creative!
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".
Spudway will be available until 15th April while stocks last, and if the trial proves successful there's potential for Spudway to be rolled out nationwide later this year.

Heinz to launch 3 new flavours – and the public gets to decide
Heinz is set to introduce 3 new flavours of Heinz Beanz… but the flavours are still a mystery! Heinz is inviting creative Brits to submit their ideas and help shape the new tastes.
The lucky winners will see their creation on the shelves, as well as be gifted £5,000 and a lifetime supply of baked beans.
To get involved, visit the beanzofyourdreamz website and pick three chosen ingredients to create your flavour. You'll need to give your creation a name and explain why they are the 'Beanz of your dreamz'.
You can enter the competition from 18th February, and it will run for an entire month, so you have plenty of time to wait for your stroke of genius.
Alessandra de Dreuille, Director of Meals at Heinz said: "Heinz Beanz have been a kitchen staple for nearly 125 years, but we've never asked the public to decide what flavour comes next – until now. We know that Brits are already getting creative with their Beanz, so it's a no brainer for us to get them involved in deciding what the next flavours should be".
