Brown Bag Crisps are brought to you by Phil and Viv, a husband and wife team, from our family-run company in Surrey.

Our crisps have taken many sleepless nights to perfect. It all started in our kitchen, where Phil could be found until the small hours cooking and seasoning potato crisps until he found the perfect recipes.

We have now moved out of the kitchen but the Brown Bag ethos remains the same….to make delicious hand-cooked crisps where the taste and crunch are never compromised.

As we roll out our new packaging you will see this logo on the back (although it applies to all our bags, new or old).

Either send them to us (it’s free just write “Freepost Brownbagcrisps” on the package) and we will recycle them for you, or by taking them to one of the many drop-off points around the UK.

Visit https://www.recyclenow.com/recycling-locator for details. Many UK supermarkets, including M&S, Sainsburys, Coop and Tesco now have flexible plastic recycling points near their entrance or exits, with more being added each day.

Our Awards

You will never find these award-winning crisps in the supermarkets, a promise Phil and Viv made in 2010 and one which will never be broken. Brown Bag Crisps is an independent company which supports independent retailers.
