Farmer and celebrity chef Jimmy Doherty, who has appeared on a number of BBC and Channel 4 television programmes, was on hand at the temporary outlet to meet visitors ahead of the crop’s peak season.
John Garton, chief executive of Genuine Jersey, has been co-ordinating the PR and marketing for Jersey Royals and said that the bistro had been a great success.
‘It went incredibly well, we got a lot of interest.
‘People were genuinely interested and liked the flavour, so much so that we had to order in more potatoes for the Sunday pop-up bistro,’ he said.
Mr Garton added that Mr Doherty had been a great ambassador for the Jersey Royal and had a good understanding of how the crop was grown.
