Visually, these were textbook hand-cooked crisp — pale gold with a slight sheen and the occasional bubbled crisp giving them that artisanal flair. Nothing fancy, but a solid, no-nonsense look that promised something classic.
Flavour-wise, they did what it said on the tin: ready salted, and not much more. The salt level was polite rather than punchy — perfect if you’re in the mood for a light crisp, but a bit underwhelming if you’re after that salty slap.
Texture was decent, a good firm crunch with none of the crumbly nonsense. Clean finish, minimal fuss — crisps for when you want crisps.
Variety is the name of the game
What you get with a hand-cooked crisp and there was definitely a bit of that.
My first taste had bitter, burnt undertones, whereas other tasters / uninvited grabbing hands seemed far happier.
A natural touch is often good, but maybe a bit of quality control needed there.
Verdict
There’s a quiet confidence to these — no wild flavours, no gimmicks, just a well-made, ready salted crisp that does its job without fuss.
While they could have pushed the salt a little harder, the solid crunch and clean finish make up for it.
They’re not showstoppers, but they’re reliable, grown-up crisps — the kind you’d happily put out at a picnic or alongside a sandwich without overthinking it. Not thrilling, but thoroughly dependable.
