Hot or cold?

A sign that reads 

"Pleas note:

A local restaurant posted an image on their Instagram and outside their door earlier stating:

"Due to the heatwave, we have made the decision to close the kitchen for hot food from 2pm today.
Salads, sandwiches, paninis and jacket potatoes will still be available to order"


I've never had a cold jacket potato, is that a thing? Or is there a bug in their message!?
