The SpudBros Tram

Introduction

I have wanted to do this on Vocal for months but haven't had a clue how to do this. I thought about doing a poem, and maybe I will get an idea as I write this, but first of all, I will share their Facebook page and then will tell you my impression of what they are, what they do, and what they are going to do:

SpudBros At Deepdale, Home Of Preston North End

My Impressions Of SpudBros

The first time I came across the SpudBros Tram was in the Flag Market at Preston in front of The Harris Museum.

These were the queues for their excellent jacket potatoes and parched peas. My first thought was that you are going to be queuing for longer than your lunch break, but each time I go back, the queues are enormous, and they do get through them very quickly.

Although they started in Preston and now sponsor Preston North End, they are now spreading throughout the country and into Europe. I don't know when they will hit Canada and the USA, but they are growing in popularity, and now each time I get to Preston, I make time to go and have a chat with them.

This is them on the BBC:

Conclusion

If you haven't heard of them yet, you will do. They are dynamic, fun, hard-working and serve great food.

I am going to Preston tomorrow and hopefully will catch up with them and maybe add a selfie to this piece.

Thank you so much for reading, and check out their Facebook pages for some great images and videos.

And proof that I have been and eaten their excellent food:
