Spudski

Why Choose Spudski?

At Spudski, we don’t think a potato should ever be an afterthought. We treat it as the main event, using a secret spice and herb rub to create a seasoned, crispy skin that sets our jacket potatoes apart from any other supplier. Whether you are looking for a classic British favourite or want to try something bold and new, we bring a level of care and flavour that you simply won't find elsewhere.

What makes us different? It’s the Polish soul we bring to everything we cook. Alongside the traditional toppings you love, we offer handmade Polish specialities—like our slow-cooked Bigos (hunter’s stew) or our golden, hand-grated potato pancakes. We aren't just a lunch van; we provide a full-day service, from loaded breakfast baps in the morning to hearty, comforting dinners.

Food for everyone. We believe great food should be inclusive. That is why we put just as much effort into our Vegan, Vegetarian, and Halal options as we do into our meat dishes. When you book Spudski, you aren't just getting a meal; you are getting a unique fusion of two cultures, cooked with passion and served with pride. If you want food that your guests will actually talk about, Spudski is the choice for you.

The story of Spudski is a journey of returning to my first passion. I originally trained and worked as a chef during my university years and immediately after graduating, gaining five years of vital experience in various professional restaurant kitchens. Life eventually led me into a ten-year career within the employability sector, but after being made redundant twice in a single year in 2024, I decided it was time to return to my roots. I took that challenge as the perfect opportunity to combine my culinary background with my desire to run my own business, and Spudski was born.

I started Spudski because I believe that even the most familiar dishes deserve a chef’s touch. I wanted to take the iconic British jacket potato and elevate it with the bold, handmade Polish flavours I grew up with. For me, the potato isn't just a side dish; it’s a canvas for quality ingredients and traditional family recipes.

Coming back to catering after a decade in a professional office environment means I bring a unique perspective to my work. I have the technical skills of a restaurant chef, but I also understand the importance of clear communication, reliability, and professional service. Whether I am preparing our secret-rubbed potatoes or slow-cooking a traditional Bigos, I do it with the same care and discipline I’ve carried throughout my entire career. I’ve traded the office for the oven, and I’ve never been happier.

While Spudski officially launched in 2024, our foundation is built on years of professional culinary experience. Having spent five years working as a chef in various restaurant kitchens, I developed a deep understanding of food safety, high-volume service, and the technical skills required to deliver consistent, high-quality meals. This professional background ensures that even though Spudski is a fresh name on the scene, our kitchen operates with the discipline and expertise of a seasoned establishment.

As we are in our first year of operation, we believe our biggest milestones are still ahead of us. However, our proudest achievement to date is the feedback from our customers. Since opening, we have focused entirely on perfecting our recipes and ensuring every guest leaves our hatch happy and well-fed.

We measure our success through the empty plates and the smiles of people discovering our "Polish Twist" for the first time. We are currently building our reputation one event at a time, treating every booking as an opportunity to prove that honest, handmade food—made with professional care—is exactly what people are looking for.

We cater to a wide range of clients who are looking for something more than just "standard" event food. Because we offer everything from hearty breakfast baps to gourmet jacket potatoes and traditional Polish specialities, we are a popular choice for corporate organisers looking to provide a filling, high-quality lunch that accommodates all dietary needs, including Vegan and Halal.

Our setup is also a perfect fit for private celebrations and weddings where the hosts want a unique "Polish Twist" that stands out and gets guests talking. Whether it’s a late-night snack of crispy potato pancakes or a full dinner service, we adapt to the vibe of the day. We are equally at home on film sets and large-scale sites for early morning breakfast runs, as well as at public festivals where people appreciate honest, handmade food that is baked to perfection and served with pride.
