Jacket potatoes are back on lunchtime menus across the UK — cheap to make, endlessly customisable, and easy to serve as a vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free option with no extra effort. But a great tatty shop isn't just about the toppings. The bowl it's served in, the lid that keeps it secure, the napkin that catches the mess, and the cutlery that actually holds up under a fully loaded fork all matter just as much to the customer experience.
Here's the full kit list — five essentials that cover presentation, transport, and cleanup for any café, takeaway, or catering van serving jacket potatoes.

Recycled Novafold Napkins — 6000 Pack
However tidy the eating experience, a jacket potato with butter, beans, and cheese is always going to need a proper napkin. These recycled Novafold napkins are 1-ply, kraft-brown, and made from 100% recycled paper — built to absorb rather than fall apart on contact.

Why Napkins Matter More Than You'd Think
A thin, low-absorbency napkin is a common complaint in takeaway reviews. Stocking a napkin that actually does its job protects your reputation as much as your customers' clothes.
