I think you should get your son to occasionally put his hand in shot to pinch a couple of chips. and you can pretend not to notice. just a bit of fun. Take care both.

    Gary, I suppose todays generation of TikTokers and Instagrammers don't realise jacket potatoes have been a staple of our diet for generations! But if it reintroduces this cuisine to youngsters, that's a good thing. £5-£6 for such a huge portion is tasty, inflation-busting food! I am glad you included the humble spud in one of your reviews. Only 30k away from the magical 100k!

    (91) LOVE jacket (AKA "baked" potatoes in USA) spuds. Make a big pot of a thick stew, curry, savoury mince, ANYTHING really and serve it on a sizeable spud. I stab my spuds and give them a soak in heavily-salted water for about two hours. Then dry them off, oil them up, sprinkle with salt and bake straight on the oven rack. (I do cheat by a 3-minute head start in a microwave) Lovely upload Gary, thanks for the tag-along!!!

    You know, this makes me appreciate our resident jacket potato based food truck here in Brisbane Australia, London Spuds. They serve roast potatoes with a range of toppings in the one product, for example, they have the 'Elizabeth Taylor', which comes with the spud, pure butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon bits and garlic infused oil. Or, simply because I love Doctor Who, the 'Doctor Who' which comes with butter, piping hot baked beans, cheese, sour cream and spring onion. Basically, each jacket potato comes loaded with multiple toppings and there's several variations that you can buy, it's a bit pricey at $19.50AUD (10.27 UK Pounds), but it's a massive feed, so worth it if the truck is nearby - they are in a different location every week.
    My take on Spudman from what I've seen is that I'd be a bit disappointed, it might be cheap, but it lacks a range of toppings for the each potato you can get, also, how can you not have a jacket potato without butter and sour cream? They go hand in hand!

    I am so glad you finally made it to see Spudman. After that roller-coaster of a ride in Ireland, to the appalling menu at Taco Belle, you certainly have experienced the highs and lows of eating food around the UK and beyond. I always believe that if a food vendor focus on one particular food item, in the case the humble jacket potato, does it extremely well, it is worth the money one pays for it. I was eagerly awaiting your review having watched two of other favorite vloggers visit this lovely town, and was not disappointed. It was certainly value for the money and looked quite tasty as well. Keep up the great work Gary, and I look forward to your further culinary adventures. Kindest regards, Anna-Marie from Pennsylvania USA!

    a cheap fast food restaurant
    where you can eat for 6 or 7

    satisfied. Worth the visit

    Interesting video particularly for me. My stepfather had a couple of jacket potato units and used to do big events and had regular contracts with racecourses. He had the only jacket potato unit inside the ground at Manchester United until health and safety ended that due to the gas bottles used to fuel the two pickwick ovens. I worked with him as a student some 36 years ago when I could. A week at Glastonbury was fun when he used to shout "hash for cash" (jokingly!) to the bleary eyed in the early hours. It's what he called " let the dog see the rabbit" and they bought. He only started the business after retiring as a head teacher in his late 50s but told me that he wished he'd have done it sooner as there is a good business to be made in the common spud. Those spuds from The Spud Man looked great and nice to see he made his own curry / chilli which we never did. The menu though is just about the same as ours all those years ago. Must be all time classics so why change? Thanks for the review Gary.

    I love baked (jacket) potatoes! At home, I scoop out the flesh, mash it and add butter, salt & pepper. I put butter in the skins, fold them up and eat them. Crispy skin is the bomb! Eating out, I will sometimes get "the works" - butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits and green onions if offered. I normally scoop out the flesh and leave the skins - restaurant baked are not always great.
    What a creative, easy, fun menu. It goes right back to the expression "a small menu done extremely well is better than an extensive menu done badly." Kudos to the creator of such a clever concept!😊❤

    The only way anyone should dispute your ratings, is if they are standing next to you eating it with you and even then, opinions are subjective. One experience of the same food in the same place will be different to someone else's as the quality , the taste, the service can be different one day to the next, so people, be fair to Gary! Those portions for that price is excellent. Only a matter of days Gary for that 100k! I hope you do a video when you get that plaque! We are all so proud of you and your cameraman/son.

    Hi Gary, the wife and I went up to try the hype a while back and we weren't disappointed. We went to visit some friends and we all went up to try the spuds. My wife and both had one with butter and cheese, then I had one with chilli con carne and my wife I think, if I don't remember wrong, with Tuna mayo and sweetcorn. It was very well executed jacket potatoes, the fillings was really good and the portion size enormous. So we didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. The value is just amazing for what it is, as it it's quite a simple concept. But we gave it a 7.5 out of 10, due to the value and quality. Another fantastic review in the bag, mate and getting closer and closer to 100K subs and that silver button. Have a wonderful rest of your day and will email you tomorrow, found a new gem in London! 😊

    Me and the wife have been glued to this for the last 16 minutes because we love jacket potatoes. Chilli and cheese is my fav and either beans or chicken curry are hers. I like a crispy and salty skin and there has to be plenty of juice or you end up eating dry potato towards the end. There is a stand in Leamington Spa half way up the Parade who has been there for decades. The service is like you are meeting an old friend and the spuds are up there. Never been disappointed.

    I love potato skin. Crispy by preference,but with lashings of butter.
    Well done, you. Well done Spudman!
    I've seen his potatoes before. As a chef, I can't see anything wrong!
    Perfect!

      I’m with you, Stephen. I love crispy skin. He certainly knows how to cook a jacket potato and well done to him. He could’ve put the prices up the more popular he became but he didn’t.

    The skin, crisper the better with lashings of butter! YUMMY! I'm going to have a chili con carne and cheese tonight! Thanks Gary!

    Definitely crispy skin but I'm very strange and like the potatoes firm and not fluffy.
