Where it all began

 

Where It All Began

John’s Jackets started out on The Patio at Bolton Market Place, serving up delicious, freshly baked jacket potatoes to hungry shoppers. But John quickly realised that what customers really wanted wasn’t just great food—they wanted a comfortable place to sit, relax, and enjoy their meal. So, he made the move inside and opened up his unit in The Vaults, a beautifully restored part of the old market with a unique and historic charm. Now, with a cozy indoor space, John’s Jackets continues to serve up top-quality spuds with all the best toppings, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere! What more could you possibly want?

Meet the man behind it all

John Rostron, the guy behind John's Jackets,

"I started this business because my entire career has been all about great food and even better service." A huge fan of jacket potatoes himself, he wanted to create a spot where people could enjoy delicious, perfectly baked spuds with all the best toppings—served with a smile. With an extensive background in hospitality, John knows that great food is only half the experience; the other half is making sure every customer feels welcome, valued, and leaves happy. At John's Jackets, it’s not just about potatoes—it’s about creating a friendly, feel-good atmosphere where everyone gets top-notch service and a tasty meal, every single time.
