Subway Jacket Potato UK 2026: Spudway Prices, Calories & Fillings
If you’ve walked past a Subway lately and spotted jacket potatoes on the menu board, you’re not imagining things. Subway’s Spudway range takes the humble baked spud, loads it with the chain’s usual fillings, and turns it into a proper hot lunch. Prices start at £7.78, and even the most expensive potato on the menu comes in under a tenner.
This guide covers the whole line-up: every Special and Classic filling with its price and calories, the cheapest options, the ones that’ll keep you full until dinner, and the £15.49 meal deal. If you want the bigger picture first, our full Subway UK menu rounds up everything else on the menu. I’ve eaten my way through most of the range over the past few months, and there’s a clear split between the sensible classics and the Specials, which treat a potato more like a building project.
WHAT IS SPUDWAY?
Spudway is simply Subway’s name for its jacket potato range. The idea is dead simple: a big British potato, baked until the skin goes crisp and the middle turns fluffy, split open and filled with salted butter, a double portion of cheese, and then whatever you’d normally put in a sub. Tuna mayo, meatball marinara, chicken tikka, beans — if it fits in a 6-inch, it can go on a spud.
Subway trialled the range in a handful of stores first, and after it took off, it was rolled out to restaurants across the UK and Ireland. In 2026 it’s a permanent fixture rather than a limited-time experiment, and you can read the details in Subway’s official Spudway announcement. Every potato starts the same way, and from there you either pick one of the set recipes below or build your own from the counter.
SPUDWAY SPECIALS: PRICES AND CALORIES
The Specials are the headline acts: set recipes with a bit more going on than the standard cheese-and-filling combo. There are seven of them, priced at either £9.08 or £9.73.
| Filling | Price | Calories | What’s Inside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotisserie-Style Chicken with Guac | £9.08 | 786 kcal | Butter, double cheese, rotisserie chicken, guacamole, salad, crispy onions and lite mayo |
| Honey Mustard BBQ | £9.73 | 597 kcal | Rotisserie chicken and bacon with salad, honey mustard and BBQ sauces |
| Tex Mexan | £9.08 | 620 kcal | Chicken breast, salsa, sweetcorn, peppers, chipotle southwest sauce and nachos |
| Furious Chicken | £9.08 | 718 kcal | Rotisserie chicken, waffle fries, salad, jalapeños, garlic & herb and chipotle southwest |
| Big Breakwich | £9.73 | 738 kcal | Sausage patty, poached egg, hash browns, bacon, cheese and ketchup |
| Mexicana Beef Crunch | £9.08 | 673 kcal | Taco beef, guacamole, salad, jalapeños, chipotle southwest and a nacho topping |
| Garlic Cheese Steak | £9.73 | 687 kcal | Philly steak, garlic oil, salad, crispy onions, garlic & herb sauce and melted cheese |
The Big Breakwich is basically a full English that fell onto a potato, and it’s glorious for it. The Furious Chicken goes the other way — waffle fries on top of a baked potato is carb-on-carb chaos, but the jalapeños and chipotle sauce cut through it nicely. If you like a bit of heat, the Tex Mexan and Mexicana Beef Crunch are the two to look at; the nacho crunch on both genuinely works.
CLASSIC FILLINGS: PRICES AND CALORIES
The Classics are the fillings you’d expect if you’ve eaten at Subway before — the standard sub line-up, minus the bread. There are sixteen of them, and most cost £8.82.
| Filling | Price | Calories | What’s Inside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baked Beans & Cheese | £8.43 | 522 kcal | Baked beans over the standard butter and double cheese base |
| Tuna Mayo & Cheese | £8.82 | 558 kcal | Tuna mayo with cheese and salad |
| Taco Beef & Cheese | £8.82 | 524 kcal | Seasoned taco beef with melted cheese |
| Classic B.M.T. | £8.82 | 561 kcal | Pepperoni, salami and ham with cheese and salad |
| Spicy Italian & Cheese | £8.82 | 656 kcal | Pepperoni and salami with cheese, salad and your choice of sauce |
| Ham & Cheese | £7.78 | 481 kcal | Ham with double cheese and salad |
| Turkey Breast & Cheese | £7.78 | 469 kcal | Turkey breast with cheese and salad |
| Ham, Turkey & Cheese | £8.82 | 485 kcal | Ham and turkey together with cheese and salad |
| Chicken Breast & Cheese | £8.82 | 498 kcal | Chicken breast with cheese and salad |
| Rotisserie Chicken & Cheese | £8.82 | 484 kcal | Rotisserie-style chicken with cheese and salad |
| Chicken Tikka & Cheese | £8.82 | 502 kcal | Chicken tikka pieces with cheese and salad |
| Meatball Marinara & Cheese | £8.82 | 606 kcal | Meatballs in marinara sauce with melted cheese |
| Philly Steak & Cheese | £9.47 | 499 kcal | Philly steak with melted cheese and salad |
| Veggie Delite | £7.78 | 413 kcal | All the salad bar veg with a sauce of your choice |
| Plant Patty & Vegan Cheese (VE) | £9.08 | 474 kcal | Plant patty with vegan cheese — the fully vegan option |
| Guacamole & Cheese | £8.17 | 605 kcal | Guacamole with cheese and salad |
For my money, Tuna Mayo & Cheese is the one that tastes most like a jacket potato should — it’s been the default spud filling in this country for decades, and Subway’s version doesn’t mess with it. Beans & cheese runs it close, and it costs a bit less too.
THE CHEAPEST SUBWAY JACKET POTATOES
Watching the budget? Three fillings share the lowest price on the menu: Ham & Cheese, Turkey Breast & Cheese and Veggie Delite, all at £7.78. Next up is Guacamole & Cheese at £8.17, then Baked Beans & Cheese at £8.43. Every other Classic sits at £8.82, apart from Philly Steak & Cheese (£9.47) and the Plant Patty & Vegan Cheese (£9.08).
Handily, the cheapest options are also among the lightest. The Veggie Delite is the lowest-calorie spud on the whole menu at 413 kcal, and the turkey and ham options both come in under 500 kcal, so the budget picks don’t feel like a compromise.
THE MOST FILLING OPTIONS
Some days you want lunch to do the job of lunch and dinner. That’s where the Specials earn their money. The Big Breakwich (£9.73) packs a sausage patty, a poached egg, hash browns and bacon onto one potato — order it at noon and you won’t be thinking about food again for a long while. The Rotisserie-Style Chicken with Guac is the calorie champion at 786 kcal, with double cheese, chicken and guacamole all piled in, and the Furious Chicken (718 kcal) adds waffle fries to the potato, which tells you everything about its intentions.
Among the Classics, Meatball Marinara & Cheese (606 kcal) and Spicy Italian & Cheese (656 kcal) are the hefty ones, and both eat like a full meal rather than a snack.
JACKET POTATO CALORIES VS A 6-INCH SUB
A plain baked potato on its own is fairly modest, but nobody orders it plain at Subway — the butter and double cheese go in before your filling even lands. That’s why even the lightest spud, the Veggie Delite at 413 kcal, sits roughly where a lighter 6-inch sub would, and the mid-range Classics (roughly 470 to 560 kcal) are comparable to a standard 6-inch with cheese and sauce.
Where the potatoes pull ahead is at the top end. The Big Breakwich at 738 kcal and the Rotisserie-Style Chicken with Guac at 786 kcal are well into footlong territory. A good rule of thumb: pick a Classic if you want sub-level calories in potato form, and pick a Special if you want the spud to be the whole event.
THE JACKET POTATO MEAL DEAL
Any jacket potato can be turned into a meal deal for a set price of £15.49, which gets you the potato, a drink, a cookie and a snack. The price is the same whichever filling you pick, so the maths works best on the Specials — pair it with a £9.73 Big Breakwich and you’re paying £5.76 for the drink, cookie and snack together. On a £7.78 Classic, the extras effectively cost you £7.71, which is harder to justify unless you’d genuinely have bought all three anyway.

VEGAN AND VEGGIE JACKET POTATOES
There’s a proper vegan option on the menu, which isn’t always the case with jacket potatoes — the butter-and-cheese base usually rules them out before you start. The Plant Patty & Vegan Cheese spud costs £9.08 and has 474 kcal, built on the plant patty with vegan cheese instead of the standard dairy base. The Veggie Delite (£7.78) is there for vegetarians, and because every spud can be built your way, you can keep any filling dairy-free by asking for no butter or cheese. Our guide to Subway vegan options covers the rest of the plant-based menu.
HOW TO ORDER A SUBWAY JACKET POTATO
Ordering works the same way as ordering a sub — you just swap the bread for a spud. A few things worth knowing before you get to the front of the queue:

FINAL THOUGHTS
Spudway is that rare fast-food launch that actually earns its place on the menu. Whether you go for a £7.78 Classic or the full Big Breakwich production, you get a proper hot lunch that isn’t yet another sandwich. Start with the Classics if you’re spud-curious; the Specials will still be there when you’re ready to commit.
As always, prices can vary a little from store to store, and delivery apps often charge more than the in-store menu, so it’s worth checking your local prices if you’re counting the pennies.
