Power failure on the market today, so I've had to pack away and go home.
Can't believe I've got to have the day off in this spectacular weather. 🤣🤣🤣
See you all next week.

Ridiculously windy forecast. Almost 50mph winds for most of the day, so I'll be closed today.

Sorry folks.

Festively plump?

Cottage cheese / cottage cheese with chives are 94% fat free.
Chilli con carne is 93% fat free.
Baked beans are virtually fat free.
Tuna is virtually fat free. (not tuna mayo)

Pick a winner for your dinner, have a spud, they're very good.

Back to the grind Thursday 8th January

Hopefully see you all then.
Happy new year.

Saturday 29th November.

The stall is closed today, a combination of it p**s-isting it down all day and a desire to not get drenched.
Back Wednesday.

Jacket potatoes are having a moment in Sheffield, but instead of feeling defeated by the recent opening of a viral baked potato chain, a long standing Moor market trader is grateful for “a shed load of free advertising.”

My mind is truly blown by all the support on social media.
Genuinely shocked.
Thank you all, it's really appreciated.
I'll do my utmost to keep the sarcasm and 💩 jokes coming.
I'm actually lost for words, which as anyone that's been served by me knows, normally I can't shut up.

Thank you all. It's been a pleasure serving most of you, and great fun taking the p**s out of those that it wasn't a pleasure 🤣

Loads of support on Spud Bros posts, which has gotta be a bit of a downer for them, such is life.
This article in The Sheffield Star, reading the comments brought a tear to my eyes, turns out it was just the onions.
Have a great Sunday. See you all soon, much love.
