The menu offers more than 30 fresh and tasty hot and cold toppings, and customers can choose from one of the 8 set menu items, or create their own baked spud masterpiece. Spudbar also offers fresh salads and a selection of home style soups, and Nachos, living up to its “feeds well” promise.

“Spudbar is all about being tasty, filling and nutritious”, says Owen. “There is no oil used in the cooking, the potatoes are dry baked and the sour cream is light. Even our lentil dahl and chilli beans have less than 3gm of fat per serve.”

Spudbar launched their first New Zealand store at The Palms Shopping Centre in November 2008. Since then it has taken off and has a strong following from loyal customers that love the amazing flavours and variety, while knowing it is so healthy. “We pride ourselves on being one of the few fast food options where you can get your entire recommended daily intake of veggies in one meal”, said Gareth Owen, Spudbar NZ Director.
