Wetherspoons Jacket Potato Menu with Prices and Calories

The Wetherspoons jacket potato menu runs to six fillings, and every one of them costs the same: £8.95 with a soft drink, or £10.57 if you swap in an alcoholic drink. That flat pricing is unusual on a pub menu, and it changes how you order. You aren’t weighing cheese against tuna on price. You’re picking the one you actually want. What does change is the calorie count. A jacket potato with roasted vegetables comes in at 383 kcal. Swap to tuna mayo and you’re at 592 kcal for identical money.

That’s a 209-calorie gap between the lightest and heaviest option on the same menu at the same price, which matters if you’re tracking intake or just deciding what sits better before an afternoon. This page covers the full menu with 2026 prices, calorie counts for every filling, allergen information, what you can add on, and an honest look at where this section sits on value against the rest of the Wetherspoon food menu.

Wetherspoons Jacket Potato Menu Prices

Item	Calories	Price (Soft Drink)	Price (Alcoholic Drink)
Jacket Potato with Tuna Mayo	592 kcal	£8.95	£10.57
Jacket Potato with Coleslaw	559 kcal	£8.95	£10.57
Jacket Potato with Cheese	512 kcal	£8.95	£10.57
Jacket Potato with Baked Beans	482 kcal	£8.95	£10.57
Jacket Potato with Chilli Bean Non-Carne	442 kcal	£8.95	£10.57
Jacket Potato with Roasted Vegetables	383 kcal	£8.95	£10.57

Every price above includes a drink. That’s the structure Wetherspoon uses across most of its main food sections, so if you’re comparing this against the Wetherspoons pub classic menu or the Wetherspoons curries menu, you’re comparing like for like rather than food-only prices.

Prices shift by location. Pubs in central London, airport sites and a handful of tourist-heavy locations sit above the national figure, sometimes by a pound or more. Smaller towns and suburban pubs can come in under it. The national menu is the baseline, not a guarantee, so check the Wetherspoon app for your specific pub if the exact figure matters.

Why Every Jacket Potato Costs the Same

The potato is the meal. Wetherspoon bakes one large potato per serving and portions the filling on top, so the kitchen cost barely moves between a scoop of coleslaw and a scoop of tuna mayo. Pricing six near-identical dishes at six different points would create menu complexity for a difference of pennies. Flat pricing also speeds up service. Wetherspoon runs a high-volume, order-at-the-bar or order-in-app model where the aim is food out within roughly ten minutes. Fewer price points means fewer decisions at the till and fewer errors on the ticket.

The only thing that shifts your total is the drink. Soft drink keeps you at £8.95. Any alcoholic drink from the included range takes you to £10.57, a £1.62 step up. Given that a pint bought on its own at Wetherspoon typically runs £5.50 to £7.10, that £1.62 is one of the better-value drink upgrades anywhere on the menu. Extra fillings, sides and sauces are charged separately on top of either price.

What You Actually Get With a Jacket Potato

A single large baked potato, split and buttered, with your chosen filling on top. It arrives as a plated main rather than a snack portion, but it is lighter than most people expect from a pub main, this is not the plate size you get from the Wetherspoons fresh from the grill menu. That lightness is the point for some people and the drawback for others.

If you want a hot, sit-down meal with a drink for under a tenner and you’re not ravenous, this is the best-value section on the menu. If you’ve come in properly hungry, budget for a side. The jacket potato menu is served during main meal hours rather than the breakfast window. If you’re in before midday, the Wetherspoons breakfast menu is what’s available instead.

Nutritional Information for Wetherspoons Jacket Potatoes

The baked potato itself is the constant across all six options, and it does most of the nutritional work. A large baked potato with the skin on brings fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and a slow-release carbohydrate base. Because it’s baked rather than fried, none of that comes with added cooking fat.

The filling is what moves the numbers:

Calorie range: 383–592 kcal
Lowest calorie option: Roasted vegetables (383 kcal)
Highest calorie option: Tuna mayo (592 kcal)
Highest fibre options: Baked beans and chilli bean non-carne
Highest protein options: Tuna mayo and cheese
Lowest fat options: Baked beans and roasted vegetables

Put that in context against the rest of the food menu. The roasted vegetable jacket potato at 383 kcal is lower than almost every main Wetherspoon serves. Beef burgers on the Wetherspoons burgers menu start around 677 kcal and gourmet options run past 1,700 kcal. A bowl of chips on its own is 964 kcal, more than double the roasted vegetable potato, and that’s a side.

If you want the lowest-calorie proper hot main anywhere on the Wetherspoon food menu, it’s the roasted vegetable jacket potato. Nothing else in the main sections comes close at that price point. A practical note on the mayonnaise-based fillings: tuna mayo and coleslaw are the two highest-calorie options here, and the mayonnaise is why. Both are still under 600 kcal, which is modest by pub standards, but they’re the ones to skip if you’re specifically trying to keep the meal light.

Allergens in the Jacket Potato Menu

Different fillings carry different allergens. Four appear across this section:

Eggs: in the mayonnaise base used for tuna mayo and coleslaw
Mustard: in the coleslaw dressing
Sulphites: present in several prepared fillings
Milk: in the cheese filling, and in the butter served with the potato

Fish is also present in the tuna mayo option and should be treated as a fifth allergen for anyone with a fish allergy. The cleanest options from an allergen perspective are baked beans and roasted vegetables, though the butter served with the potato still introduces milk unless you ask for it to be left off. Allergen recipes are reviewed periodically and can differ by supplier.

If you have a genuine reaction risk, use the allergen filter in the Wetherspoon app or speak to staff at the bar before ordering rather than relying on any third-party listing, including this one. None of the six fillings is prepared in a dedicated gluten-free environment. The potatoes are baked in shared ovens and fillings are portioned on shared surfaces, so cross-contamination is possible even though the potato itself contains no gluten.

Customizing Your Jacket Potato Order

You aren’t locked into a single filling. Combining two, coleslaw and tuna mayo is the most common request, is usually accommodated, charged as an add-on rather than included in the £8.95. Sides worth considering, and what they do to the meal:

Coleslaw (399 kcal): as an extra rather than the main filling
Mediterranean side salad (198 kcal): more substantial than the standard side salad
Bowl of chips (964 kcal): turns a light main into a heavy one. Fine, but you’ve now got a 1,300-calorie meal.
Chicken gravy (50 kcal): unconventional on a jacket potato, but it’s on the list
Side salad (91 kcal): keeps the whole meal under 500 kcal with most fillings. The sensible add-on if you want more food without undoing the calorie advantage.

The full range is on the Wetherspoons sides and extras menu.

One detail that surprises people: Wetherspoon bakes the potatoes rather than deep-frying or par-frying them. That’s a large part of why this section runs so much lower on calories than the rest of the hot food menu.

How the Jacket Potato Menu Compares on Value

At £8.95 with a drink, the jacket potato sits above the breakfast menu, a traditional breakfast is £5.41, and well below the grill section, where an 8oz sirloin with a side starts at £13.00. The comparison that actually matters is against other light mains with a drink included. Most of those sit between £10.34 and £11.44 on the salads and pasta section. The jacket potato undercuts all of them by £1.39 or more while offering a comparable calorie load.

Where it wins outright is the drink inclusion at the alcoholic price point. A pint on its own runs £5.50 to £7.10. At £10.57 for potato plus pint, the food is effectively costing under £5. Very few pub mains in the UK land there in 2026. Where it’s genuinely weaker: portion size and variety. Six fillings is a short list, and none of them is especially inventive. If you eat at Wetherspoon regularly, you’ll exhaust this section quickly. The Wetherspoons small plates menu offers more variety at a similar spend, though those are portioned as starters.

My Take: order the jacket potato when you want a cheap, hot, reasonably light meal and a drink. Order something else when you’re hungry.

Frequently Asked Questions

They’re among the healthier hot mains on the menu. The roasted vegetable option is 383 kcal and baked beans is 482 kcal, both well below the burger and grill sections. The potato provides fiber, potassium and vitamin C, and it’s baked rather than fried. Calorie content rises with cheese and mayonnaise-based fillings.

Yes. Five of the six fillings are meat-free: cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, roasted vegetables and chili bean non-carne. Only the tuna mayo filling contains fish. That makes the jacket potato section one of the most vegetarian-friendly parts of the entire Wetherspoon food menu.

The potato itself contains no gluten, but Wetherspoon does not prepare jacket potatoes in a dedicated gluten-free environment. Shared ovens and preparation surfaces mean cross-contamination is possible. If you have coeliac disease, speak to staff directly rather than relying on the menu listing alone.

Six fillings: tuna mayo, coleslaw, cheese, baked beans, chilli bean non-carne, and roasted vegetables. All six are priced identically at £8.95 with a soft drink or £10.57 with an alcoholic drink. Additional fillings can be combined for an extra charge.

A Wetherspoons jacket potato with cheese contains 512 kcal. It sits in the middle of the range, above baked beans at 482 kcal and roasted vegetables at 383 kcal, but below tuna mayo at 592 kcal and coleslaw at 559 kcal.

The roasted vegetable jacket potato is 383 kcal, making it the lowest-calorie option on the jacket potato menu and one of the lowest-calorie hot mains anywhere on the Wetherspoon food menu.

A jacket potato with tuna mayo contains 592 kcal, the highest on this menu. The mayonnaise base pushes it above the other fillings, though it also makes it the highest-protein option of the six.

Tuna mayo, at 592 kcal. Coleslaw follows at 559 kcal, then cheese at 512 kcal. The gap between the highest and lowest option is 209 calories, despite every filling costing the same £8.95.

No. Wetherspoon bakes the potatoes rather than frying them, which is why this section runs lower on calories than most of the hot food menu. Fillings and sides are prepared separately and can add significantly to the total.

At £8.95 including a soft drink, it’s one of the cheapest hot mains Wetherspoon serves. With an alcoholic drink at £10.57, the food works out under £5 given pint prices of £5.50 to £7.10. The trade-off is portion size, it’s a lighter meal than most pub mains.

A large baked potato, split and buttered, with your chosen filling and a drink included in the price. Sides and extra fillings are charged separately. There is no chips or salad included by default.

Wetherspoon aims to serve food within roughly ten minutes of the order being placed. Menu items follow a standardized preparation process across all pubs, and jacket potatoes are baked in advance and finished to order, which makes them one of the faster items to arrive.

Wind Up

Six fillings, one price, and a 209-calorie spread between the lightest and heaviest. The Wetherspoons jacket potato menu is the value pick for anyone who wants a hot pub main with a drink for under £9, and the roasted vegetable option at 383 kcal is the lowest-calorie proper meal on the food menu. The catch is portion size. This is a lighter main than the pub-classic or grill sections, so add a side salad if you want it to fill you properly without undoing the calorie advantage.
