When Coughlans bakery needed a name for its new pumpkin-spiced yum yum/donut hybrid, they asked their customers for help.

Following a poll, ‘Dave’ was declared the winner with Yum Nut pipped at the post.

Dave is now available in all shops. Coughlans said: “Our new pumpkin spiced donut as voted by you will be called Dave. We think it’s the most delicious donut we’ve ever made.”

You can now also buy Festive Dave with a cinnamon flavour.
