Quick info
About Pig & Potato
Jacket potatoes drive the menu at Pig & Potato, a takeaway and restaurant unit in the Aldridge Shopping Centre in Walsall. Butter goes through the potato before any topping lands, and the fillings stretch from familiar choices to a spud dog and an upside down cottage pie. Pork and stuffing baps sit alongside the spuds, with a larger bap available. The family runs the counter with an open cooking area, so orders are placed in person and there is no reservation system to work around. Food is packed for those eating off site, while tables outside suit anyone wanting to sit and eat in the open air. Trading runs Monday to Saturday during the daytime, with Sundays closed, which puts it within reach of shoppers and people working nearby.

Customer Review Summary
The jacket potatoes are what reviewers return for, described as huge, fluffy, and generous with toppings, with several singling out the butter mashed through before the fillings go on and one noting the skin tasted as good as the inside. Close behind sits the pork, in the pork and stuffing bap packed with tender seasoned meat, in a BBQ pulled pork spud with cheese, crispy onions, hot honey and garlic butter, and in a pork and gravy version topped with crackling. Others mention the spud dog, chilli con carne with cheese, an upside down cottage pie, chicken curry, and homemade bread pudding. Staff come up repeatedly as chatty and helpful in talking through the extras, and more than one comments on how clean the unit and cooking area looked. The only real quibble came from a diner who felt the large bap was barely bigger than the standard one, though a later update reported going back, ordering it again, and finding it genuinely larger.

“Visited the Pig and Potato in Aldridge on recommendation today, we were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and chatted to us as we decided what to order. I had the BBQ pulled pork with cheese, crispy onions, hot honey and garlic butter, the potato was cooked to perfection and the toppings were delicious. The price point is reasonable for the large portion you get, the service was quick and the cooking area was spotlessly clean. I would recommend the Pig and Potato to anyone who loves jacket spuds. I’ll be back to sample the rest of the menu.”
