Mel – Cornwall’s New Potato Whisperer
So, who’s behind this potato paradise? None other than Mel, a seasoned pro in the world of hospitality who knows her way around good food like a pirate knows the seven seas. Mel has spent years perfecting the art of cooking up delicious meals, and she’s poured all that knowledge into the humble jacket potato. Trust us, it’s not just a potato – it’s a warm, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside experience.
Mel’s philosophy? Keep it simple, make it tasty, and always serve with a smile. And boy, does she deliver! Whether you’re after something rich, spicy, cheesy, or classic, she’s got a topping to turn your baked potato into a culinary masterpiece.
The Menu: All About the Potato Power!
Let’s get down to the good stuff – the toppings. The Classic Jacket Spud serves up jacket potatoes that are so fluffy, they could double as clouds. But what really makes them sing? The toppings, of course! Here’s what’s on the menu:
The Plain (Garlic Butter): We know, "plain" sounds… well, plain. But add a slather of garlic butter, and suddenly it’s not so plain anymore. This one’s all about appreciating the potato in its purest form. Simplicity, but with garlic – aka, the best combo ever.
Tuna: For those who want to keep things light but tasty, the tuna-topped spud is like the salad of the jacket potato world. Only it’s not a salad, and it’s way more satisfying.
Coronation Chicken: This one’s the royalty of the jacket potato kingdom. A creamy, curry-infused chicken mix that’ll make you feel like you’re eating something far fancier than a baked potato.
Chilli Con Carne: Want some spice in your life? This one’s got a bit of a kick, but don’t worry – it’s the kind of heat that’ll warm your soul, not set your mouth on fire.
Bacon: Because bacon makes everything better. No need for a fancy description here. It’s crispy, it’s salty, and it’s delicious. Need we say more?
Chicken Mayonnaise: Creamy, dreamy, and packed with protein, this topping gives you that comforting feel of a chicken sandwich, but better, because… potato.
Beans: Beans on toast? Nah. Beans on a jacket potato? Now we’re talking. It’s the classic combo that everyone loves – warm, saucy beans soaking into the potato. Comfort food at its finest.
Why Jacket Potatoes are Cornwall’s New Street Food Hero
Let’s be real, jacket potatoes are the superheroes of street food. They’re warm, they’re filling, and they don’t require you to juggle multiple items. Plus, they fit in perfectly with Cornwall’s laid-back, seaside vibe – casual yet deeply satisfying. Perfect for a day of strolling around Par Market, picking up a few treasures, and topping it all off with a potato-shaped reward.
Cornwall’s known for its street food, and now, with The Classic Jacket Spud in the mix, the humble potato is getting its well-deserved time in the spotlight. Whether you’re grabbing one to eat on the go or sitting down for a mid-market feast, you’re in for a treat.
Who’s It For? Everyone!
Mel’s menu is designed to please everyone – and we mean everyone. Whether you’re a vegetarian, a carnivore, or just a potato lover with no allegiances, there’s something here to make your day a little better.
Vegetarian? Go for the Plain or Beans – simple, hearty, and delicious. Meat-eater? You’ve got Bacon, Chicken Mayonnaise, or Chilli Con Carne to keep you happy. And for those of you who are undecided – just order one of each. We won’t judge.
Healthy, Hearty, and Oh-So-Affordable
Not only is a jacket potato the coziest, most filling meal you could ask for, but it’s also pretty healthy (we promise). Potatoes are packed with vitamins, fiber, and all the good stuff, plus they’ve got that slow-burn energy that’ll keep you going all day. Add a protein-packed topping like tuna or chicken mayo, and you’ve got yourself a meal that’s way more satisfying than anything else you’ll find on the go.
And the best part? You won’t need to break the bank. Mel’s pricing is as comforting as her food – a great deal for families, students, and anyone who’s looking for a hearty meal without the hefty price tag.
