About SPUD5

SPUD5 is a jacket potato restaurant and takeaway at Pod C1, serving from a counter in the Midsummer Place food court and boulevard seating area. Staff take and prepare orders on the spot, with no need to book ahead. The menu builds around loaded potatoes, including tuna and cheese, cheese and chilli, and curry spud, with butter and cheese offered as free toppings alongside the order. On Sundays, the Sunday Roast Spud brings cranberry, broccoli, carrots, peas, and gravy to a jacket potato base as an alternative to a traditional plated roast. Apple crumble with custard is available for those wanting dessert. The restaurant opens daily, and its takeaway option suits those wanting to eat off site rather than sit in the food court area.

Customer Review Summary

The jacket potato anchors the reviews at this Midsummer Boulevard stand, with the cheese and chilli version singled out for its flavourful, hot sauce and the classic tuna and cheese praised as generously portioned. Close behind is the Sunday Roast Spud, described with unlimited toppings like cranberry, broccoli, carrots, peas and gravy for a set cost, alongside an apple crumble with custard mentioned as a comfort pairing. Other named orders include the curry jacket, the cheese and cheese beans spud with free toppings, and a chilli corn carne spud with jalapeño and chipotle sauce. Reviewers repeatedly note generous portions for the price and quick counter service, with several describing staff as friendly, polite and unhurried, occasionally waiving extra charges for butter or cheese. One reviewer contrasts the stand favorably against a nearby competitor, Potato Hut, which they found still closed well past its stated opening time. Diners describe returning after first visits, with one recounting finishing a full roast spud portion despite doubts it could be eaten in one sitting.

    “Absolutely superb! Gentleman was really lovely, I requested extra butter and cheese and he didn’t even charge me for that! I got the classic tuna and cheese but it was undoubtedly the best I’ve ever had, might sound exaggerated but it’s really good. I really fancied a jacket potato and was going to go to Potato Hut which said it opened at 9.30am but it was 11.30 and still not opened so I thought I’d try Spud5. Will deffo be visiting this stand again now!”

    “First time I have ever eaten here, and I have to say that it was THE BEST jacket potato I've ever tasted! I had the Classic Beans, with extra cheese and butter in it! Honestly, this was so amazing, and I do love a jacket spud!! It was also very big, and it filled me up so much, but it was how tasty it was. I recommend this place to anyone! 10 out of 10!! 👌👌”

    “Found this place purely thru a video on the side of their hut. “deejay” runs it. Very nice guy. Told me about the Roast Spud on Sundays. Sooooo good. Plenty of food. Veggies. Amazing gravy. And the gorgeous butter. None of it was dry. Big portion. He didn’t know if I could eat it. I won! Deserves a 5 star for his service, enthusiasm and the roast idea too. It’s in the midsummer part where the other outlets are between the main MK and the Apple Store area. You will not be disappointed. Add all toppings like cranberry. Broccoli. Carrots. Sauces. Peas. Unlimited as part of the £10 cost. Very reasonable. See you again soon.”

    “A wonderful surprise! I came back here under recommendation from the owner, I’ve previously had a tuna and cheese Jacket potato, this time I was more adventurous and was very delighted with the result! I went for a Cheese and Chilli Jacket Potato this time which I was thoroughly impressed with. Very flavourful, its got some good heat to it but not overwhelmingly so, the sauce was the highlight. Cooked beautifully, arranged nicely and it went down a treat, very filling and good value for money. £2 for a can isn’t too bad, though I wish they bundle in with their potatoes. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely and lively thanks to midsummer place’s food court seating area. I don’t really do jacket potatoes but this Cheese and Chilli one but I can definitively say was the best Jacket Potato I’ve ever eaten. SPUD5 may have a small menu but what they do do they do the best.”
