From the moment you open the bag you’re greeted by a confident prawn cocktail aroma, tangy tomato sauce notes and a subtle touch of brandy. A lot of prawn crisps are really just ketchup-meets-paprika, but that touch does lend some credibility to the ‘posh’ differentiator.
The crisps are thick and ridged, the kind that deliver real crunch rather than crumble under pressure.
On the first bite you get the sweet‑savoury cocktail flavour in full swing. The prawn essence is light but present, the tomato tang gives it freshness, the seasoning generous without becoming overwhelming. Beneath it all you can still taste the quality potato with skins left on, which gives the crisp texture integrity.
In the aftertaste the cocktail tang lingers, the salt is firm but not brash, and the potato flavour retreats graciously rather than vanishing. These crisps feel like a grown‑up take on a retro flavour; fun but refined, nostalgic while still premium.
If you want a crisp that blends nostalgia and sophistication, this hits the mark. Fun, moreish and polished enough to feel like a treat.
