🥔🌪️ EVERYBODY LOVES A SPIRAL SPUD! 🌪️🥔

Let's be honest... no Family Fun Night is complete without a hot, crispy Spiral Spud in your hand!

Golden potato, cut into a giant spiral, cooked to crispy perfection and served on a stick – it's one of those festival treats that kids absolutely love and adults secretly love even more! 😋

Whether you're enjoying the music, watching the entertainment, dancing with the kids, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, a Spiral Spud is the perfect snack to keep you going.

The hardest decision? Trying not to go back for a second one! 😂

So when you join us at the Port Stephens Winter Festival Family Fun Night, be sure to keep an eye out for the Spiral Spuds crew and treat yourself to one of the most popular festival foods around.
