Tuesday, 27 May 2025 07:29

Str8 Jackets in Knaresborough is facing closure.

A unique jacket potato takeaway in Knaresborough is facing closure, its owner has revealed.

Str8 Jackets opened on Knaresborough’s High Street in December, offering jacket potatoes complete with a range of toppings, sandwiches and salads.

However the business is due to close this week due to a decrease in footfall.

In an appeal on social media, Owner Emma Eastwood said:

“I'm fighting to keep going. I can only do this with your support - and we have had immense support - is there anything else we can give?

“Obviously [we have] our amazing spuds and sandwiches, we have salads… Is there anything else, please let us know?

“We don't want to go. There will be a shop phone for you to place and pay for your orders and if we can, we will bring them out to you.”

Str8 Jackets offers a range of toppings including its bestselling warm pulled pork and honey chilli chicken.

Customers can also choose coleslaw, cheese, chilli, beans, tuna mayo or coronation chicken.

The takeaway has a 5-star food hygiene rating and is open daily from 11am until 4:30pm.

Customers can visit Str8 Jackets on Knaresborough's High Street or order over the phone by calling 07496687621.
