Fresh from its Re:fresh triumph, The Jersey Royal Company has landed another honour - serving the US president.

The hand-picked seaside spuds will be served up to Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle and Queen Elizabeth at the state banquet in his honour tonight.

The early Pearl Jersey Royal potatoes will feature as part of the meal attended by more than 170 VIPs.

The accolade follows The Jersey Royal Company (The Little Big Voice)’s triumph in the Prophet Pr3 Marketing Campaign of the Year.
