'I ate viral TikTok star Spudman's jacket potato adored by Sara Cox - but was it worth the 3-hour queue?'


Benjamin John Newman, 39, has become a viral sensation known as Spudman, with people travelling across the world to visit his humble food van, nestled in the small town of Tamworth

Ben's humble food van, tucked away in the heart of Tamworth attracts people from all corners of the globe - with fans of his scrumptious potatoes even having travelled from as far afield as Malaysia and Australia! His menu includes familiar toppings like cheese, beans, and tuna mayo; but he also cooks up special treats such as homemade chilli con carne, chicken curry, pulled pork, and minced beef. A delicious menu showcased the wealth of options on offer (Image: Jonathan Hipkiss/The Mirror)After a half-hour queue, Niamh finally got to chat with Ben himself and heard from his own mouth just how hectic his days have been lately.
