SpudBros launch drive-thru at Depot Mayfield Manchester

The viral Preston-born duo, known for their loaded jacket potatoes and playful online humour, have teamed up with Autotrader to create the ‘Autotater’ drive-thru.

Set to open for one day only at Depot Mayfield in Manchester on February 12, the collaboration will offer visitors instant car valuations alongside a free jacket potato served by SpudBros founders Jacob and Harley Nelson.

Erin Baker, editorial director at Autotrader, said: “We know no one loves admin, which is why we want to make it easier and quicker for people to find out the true value of their car, in under 10 seconds.

“There’s something fun about that moment of surprise when you finally see what your car is really worth.

“Once you have that information, you can decide what to do next – whether that’s selling, upgrading, or simply showing off to your mates.”

The drive-thru will feature a limited menu including the Autotater, a special loaded spud, and Curry In A Hurry, SpudBros’ signature garlic chicken curry potato.

Jacob and Harley Nelson, founders of SpudBros, said: “This is a big one for us.

“We’ve fed people across the country and even internationally, and Manchester is one of our most requested visits, so this is a really exciting opportunity.

“We love doing things that get people talking, and we also love cars, so teaming up with fellow Northern brand Autotrader lets us serve up something new.”
