Martin joined forces with Albert Bartlett to launch Spudulike in October last year after speaking fondly of the love he had for them as a child.

Since then the shop has been delighting customers with inventive fillings for their humble baked spuds like butter chicken, chickpea daal or Scottish smoked salmon.

He said: “I’m really excited to visit the SpudULike team at Braehead Shopping Centre this week to see them in action.

"It’s a great opportunity to mingle with staff and customers and to really get a feel for the place - a venture I’m so proud to be a part of."

"James’ trip to SpudULike at Braehead Shopping Centre will be a great event and we’d encourage anyone who is shopping between 12 pm and 1 pm this Friday to pop in and say hello.

"And of course, grab a delicious baked potato while you’re in – when it comes to our spuds we don’t mess around.”
