Regional Crisps from Yorkshire and Lancashire
Founded in 2005 by part-time farmer Ashley Turner, Yorkshire Crisps produce their award-winning crisps over in Wales Bar, a small village nestled between Sheffield and Rotherham. The small team with a true passion for Yorkshire create their delicious range of crisps using the finest range of local ingredients.
The hand-cooked crisps are made using carefully selected potatoes from local farms on the chalky soils of the Yorkshire Wolds and packed into locally sourced materials.

A firm favourite at Booths, Lancashire Crisps have been farming their potatoes from the rich black soils of Rufford, Lancashire and turning them into the delicious crisps stocked on our shelves. Once farmed, the potatoes are then hand-cooked and flavoured with tastes of the region such as Dewlay Cheese in their Creamy Lancashire Cheese and Onion flavour.
John Fiddler started the brand after wanting a better trade for his potatoes compared to his farmer neighbours. His grandfather began making crisps by hand many years before and John and his family enjoyed them so much, it inspired him to give it a go himself.
