Walkers Roast Chicken crisps are a staple of the British snack market, known for their distinctive yellow sun logo and classic flavour profile. The brand emphasizes the use of 100% British potatoes, sourced from local farms across the UK. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Leicester, England, which houses the world's largest crisp factory.

Originally founded in Leicester in 1948 by Henry Walker, the brand was created to pivot a butcher business toward snack production during post-war meat rationing. In 1989, Walkers was acquired by the American multinational PepsiCo. Since then, it has been integrated into the global Lay's brand family, maintaining the Walkers name in the UK and Ireland while sharing the iconic logo design used by Lay's worldwide.
