The potatoes come in a choice of sizes: small, medium and large. Last time I was there I ordered a medium – and it was huge! Perfect when you’re really hungry…
Last time I went I opted for a medium sized potato with veggie haggis. Word for the wise – unless you are really hungry, opt for the small size. The medium potato was so huge, I dread to think what size the large potatoes are like!
In any case, you can’t really go wrong with a baked potato. I would have never considered putting veggie haggis on a potato before but after trying this beauty, I am well and truly converted! I struggled through to eat the whole thing (skin and all) and I am delighted to report that it kept me satisfied for the rest of the day. A fantastic place to fill up on good, simple food which is excellent value for money.
