If Salt & Vinegar Squares are the brash frontman of the Walkers Squares trio, Cheese & Onion Squares are the curious rhythm guitarist: less explosive, more mysterious, but still very much part of the band. They’re not shouting for attention, but they leave an impression.
Texture and crunch
As ever with Squares, you get the signature crunch — crisp, rigid, and gratifyingly loud. The shape helps: folded and puffed like tiny square pillows, they snap under pressure and collapse in the mouth with a dry, satisfying bite. A crunch-lover’s crisp, no question.
Flavour profile
Cheese & Onion is a mainstay of British crispdom, but here it takes on a slightly intensified life. The onion hits you up front — sweet, tangy, and slightly sulphuric — followed by a cheesy wave that’s more creamy than sharp. It’s not aiming for authenticity; this is snack food cheese, and it knows it.
Some might find the onion overwhelming, especially in a confined space (trains, waiting rooms, small cars beware). But for fans of the flavour, it’s bold and unapologetic — and that’s the appeal.
These crisps stick with you. Not just flavour-wise, but emotionally. They’re a bit of a throwback. You don’t just taste the Cheese & Onion — you remember pack lunches, tuck shops, and probably some form of mild misbehaviour.
Packet and portion
A 25g multipack bag feels like just enough. They’re intense, so you don’t need a huge pile — but you might still find yourself rooting through the cupboard for another packet before you’ve even finished licking your fingers.
