Subway makes big menu change adding much-loved British dish as it tries to beat Greggs and Pret

SUBWAY has made a big menu change, adding a much-loved British dish.

The sandwich chain has launched their new Spudway jacket potato, a full-customisable tattie on its own or as part of a meal deal.

Selected restaurants are offering the new menu option from February 19 to April 15, or while stocks last.

The Spudway comes with a variety of toppings, or can be customised with any topping from the normal Subway menu.

Options for the jacket potato include British staples like Cheese & Heinz Beans and Tuna Mayonnaise.

Chicken Tikka, Rotisserie Style Chicken & Bacon and new Taco Beef are also on the menu.

Or you can choose your own tried-and-tested favourite Subway filling – think, Marinara Sauce, Veggie Delite or Steak and Cheese.

The new Spudway potato can be bought on its own, or as part of a meal deal – which includes a spud, drink, plus crisps or cookie.

The price of the new meal is to be confirmed, but is likely to be similar to a Sub sandwich.

Solo Subs start from £3.99, and for £1.60 you can turn it into a meal with the option of a drink and a treat or a snack.

Subway, famed for its foot-long Sub sandwiches, said it launched the Spudway due to the popularity of jacket potatoes on social media.

Deniz Safa, Director of Innovation & Culinary at Subway, said: “We’re always looking to bring our fans delicious and customisable options that suit every taste and every budget.

“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!

“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.”

Subway is trialling the new Spudway jacket potato in 170 selected restaurants, with potential for a nationwide rollout later this year.

The latest launch comes weeks after Subway announced a shake-up to its menu including footlong nachos, spicy taco beef subs, and much more.

Highlights include the Mexicana beef crunch sub, stacked with Doritos, cheese, jalapeños, and chipotle sauce, plus the show-stealing footlong nachos — tortilla chips topped with cheese, salsa, and optional guacamole.

Prices start at just £2.99 on the new Saver Subs menu, making it easier to dig into Subway’s spiciest offering yet.

Last year saw Subway add another British favourite to its menu, with the launch of its first ever toastie.

For the first time ever, a Ham & Cheese Toastie joined the Saver Subs menu line up, filled with ham, melted American-style cheese and Subway’s much-loved Chipotle Southwest Sauce.

FAST FOOD MENU CHANGES THIS MONTH

Subway isn’t the only chain shaking up its menu in February.

Chains such as McDonald’s and KFC have revealed big changes in recent weeks.

McDonald’s

Fast-food giant McDonald’s added the Philly Cheese Stack, Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie and a Mars McFlurry to the menu.

The Philly Cheese Stack features two beef patties with a cheese sauce, cheese slices, grilled and crispy onions and pickles served in a toasted bun. 

It’s the first time customers have been able to get their hands on the seasonal burger since last September.

The burger costs £5.29 on its own, or £6.99 for a medium meal.

KFC

KFC has rolled out a new and improved version of its Double Down burger, last seen on the menu nearly half a decade ago.

KFC has brought back the dish, but with a twist.

The burger, which features two breaded chicken breasts instead of a sandwich bun was last seen on the menus in 2019.

The snack now also features a hash brown wedged between the chicken buns along with cheese and KFC Supercharger sauce.

The burger made its comeback on February 10 and costs £7.49 as a single item, or £9.49 if you want to add fries and a drink.

Greggs

Greggs has added a new chicken burger and wrap to menus as part of its hot made-to-order range.

The BBQ crispy chicken burger costs £4, while the wrap has southern fried chicken goujons and costs £3.80.

Both items are part of the Hot Sandwich Deal, which includes any hot sandwich, wedges, or side salad and a drink for £4.95.
