Each potato ordering fan will be given a raffle ticket and the draw to be held at 3pm on Friday.

Those in the queue are reporting up to a two-hour wait to be served amid an entertaining atmosphere with music and dancing taking place.

A young girl, who had already been in the queue for over two hours, said: “The atmosphere here is very lively.”

“I am hoping to get the classic garlic butter, chicken, cheese, beans, tram sauce and crispy onions, meanwhile my friend is getting just cheese and butter.”

Another added that they are “very excited” to get a Spudbros potato and meet the brothers, Harley and Jacob for the first time.
