For #NationalPotatoDay we are sharing a story from a familiar face to most of you, #SpudMan, aka Ben.

“Quite a few people with kidney problems come up to the trailer. I think they appreciate me showing a positive perspective on living with the illness and raising awareness.”

I caved in and eventually got a selfie with Spud Man at day 2 of the Suffolk Show.

Though no joke when I say this, his jacket potatoes were honestly the best jacket potatoes I have ever eaten in my life. I highly recommend! ❤️🥔 #SuffolkShow #SpudMan #SpudArmy

Potatas Bravas with a vegan roasted pepper coulis that I’ve ruined here with a bit of shredded Colby Jack and a lump of herbed chevre and burrata. Thanks for watching! 😎👍

The Spudman has won his fight against the council for threatening to move his plot to somewhere unfavourable, and won an apology!

He has been working that van since he was 18 years old.

At night visions of potatoes haunt him […]

I tried Spudman jacket potatoes to see if they're worth a 2hr queue The Tamworth potato van is followed by two million people on TikTok

The Tamworth Spudman vs Local Government, he'll be a question in Parliament soon, you watch.

#Tamworth council bureaucrats are really going to come a cropper for going up against the #spudman and the spud army. He owns his pitch but they have scrapped that to make a flower bed and he will have to rent a new pitch from them. Stupid.

Spudman is being booted off his pitch and being replaced with a flower bed after 23 years. There's more on the other socials (TikTok and Facebook). #SpudMan
