These are delicious, authentic chips with wholesome characters and
fiesty flavours, borne out of our potatoes enjoying a well-grounded upbringing.
Not only are our chips handcooked but also gluten free, vegetarian friendly,
completely free of any unsavoury GMO's and 20% lower in fat than standard crisps.

Lovingly Made

We could ramble on about our potato selection policy, our high tech slicers and cookers, our meticulous hand cooked frying and our sweeping selection of hand picked natural ingredients but we wouldn't want to bore you.

Suffice to say our spuds are lovingly looked after from the moment they arrive at our front door to the moment we pack them off to the big wide world, securely clad in their witty and eye-catching packaging.

Darling Spuds come to you from the creators of Salty Dog, Judy and Dave Willis. Salty Dog was conceived as a quirky range of feisty flavoured crisps named in honour of their enthusiastic junior partner, a little terrier puppy called Ruby.

Darling Spuds is the result of Judy's determination to create a more wholesome, all natural snack to satisfy the growing demand for healthier food.

Aside from their slightly obsessive interest in snacks, Judy and Dave enjoy a simple, country life.
They are renovating a narrow boat
called Merlin on the Grand Union
canal in leafy Buckinghamshire and
enjoy flying kites or walking Ruby
in the Chiltern Hills.

We all been delighted by the unusual and tasty crisps from 'Darling Spuds'. We (or me!) particularly enjoy the sun ripped tomato flavour as well as sour cream with the spicy taste of chilli. Well done and keep-up frying excellent hand crafted crisps!

Sea Salt & Modena Balsamic Vinegar... Abi says they are really nice, she liked the fact that they are thick cut and the flavour was just right, not too salty or vinergary. Crushed Natural Sea Salt.. I tested these and liked them because they too had just the right amount of salt. West Country Cheddar, leek & Pink Peppercorns. Kimberley tasted these and thought they were delicately flavoured and very moreish. Fire Roasted Jalapeno Peppers. We all tried these. WOW THEY BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF. Jonathan the pyromaniac loved them, can imagine they would be great with dips too.

I've been a great fan of Salty Dog Crisps for some time now, but with my ongoing (and relatively unsuccessful) diet and attempts at being health conscious, I was very excited to hear that the great inventors of Salty Dog where bringing out a healthier alternative by giving birth to their little Darling Spuds! I love that they are still bursting with flavour but are a much lighter crisp. I particularly love the West Country cheddar, leek and pink peppercorn and the tangy twist of balsamic vinegar in the Modena Balsamic Vinegar ones. Once again the team at Salty Towers have got it just right, with great graphics and inventive cartoons and stories. I now feel that I can still enjoy great crisps and not feel too guilty about it!

Darling Spuds stars in
BBC's The Apprentice

Darling Spuds has just appeared in the hit BBC show The Apprentice. We were one of two small British crisp brands that the trainees were asked to sell in Germany. We are delighted that Apollo, our team, won the crisp challenge and we had great fun on the day that we spent filming. We think they made the right choice creating English flavours and the Stilton and Paprika was a particularly inspired choice! Thanks to team Apollo and The Apprentice our sales in Germany are flying!

Good Housekeeping makes Darling Spuds the winner

Good Housekeeping

In Good Housekeeping's Food News section Darling Spuds was judged to be the best gourmet salted crisp. Their verdict was: "Our tasters loved their rugged, natural appearance. There's a good bite and just the right amount of salt."


Darling Spuds look to launch brand new flavour

In our never-ending quest to bring you the most interesting and lip smacking new flavours we have spent the early part of 2010 scratching our heads about which taste avenue to explore next.

Through a barrage of brainstorms, a ton of tastings and journeys to the far flung corners of the world we think we have come up with a flavour that is hugely exciting and will put you in mind of your favourite Mediterranean holidays.

We're not quite ready to push the button on it yet but watch this space!

Crisp packet fan boasts 9,000 empty bags in her collection

It seems collecting empty crisp packets is quite a popular hobby. Hannah Conduct has come forward to reveal a whopping 9,000 empty bags in her collection, which she has gathered over the past 30 years.

The marketing manager, who insists she is 'not a big crisp eater', said her pastime began during one of her regular family holidays on a canal boat.

'We were sitting at a pub on the canals one day and I was eating pork scratching-flavoured crisps. My dad said I should keep the packet.

'I never did but, for some reason, I started collecting crisp packets after that. It's the kind of thing children do' said the 35-year-old from Acton, West London.

'It doesn't rule my life,' said Ms Conduct. 'They are up in the attic in folders. It's a total history of packaging and design. There's a strange beauty to seeing the design evolution.'

PS. Darling Spuds is pleased to note that in the picture of the lovely Hannah one of our packs is given prime position!
