I tried a jacket potato from Worthing's newest lunch business – and it was enormous!

Located in Coronation Buildings in Ham Road, East Worthing, King Spud launched on Friday, December 1.

It was previously Smash'd Burger Kitchen, and it still run by the same owner, Jordan Luxford.

I stopped by this week and spoke to manager Grant Allen, who said the business had got off to a good start, and they were focussing on getting the word out there that they were open for business.

Grant said Smash'd had been forced to close as rising operating, staff and ingredients costs had made it unsustainable.

He was the model for King Spud relied on fewer ingredients and fewer staff meaning they could offer a product at a more affordable price for cash-strapped customers.

Prices for a jacket potato start from £4 for a plain jacket, with the most expensive offering being a prawn filling for £8.

I was given a jacket potato with cheese and beans to try, and it was absolutely enormous.

The potato was cooked to perfection, and there was plenty of filling. It was a really hearty lunch, and at a cost of £6 I thought it was a really reasonable price.

In the new year, King Spud plans to do late openings on Wednesdays, with a view to offering a discount for families buying multiple potatoes.

King Spud is open six days a week, from 10.30am to 4pm.
