Brown Bag Crisps

Brown Bag Crisps is a premium British snack brand founded in 2010 by Phil and Viv Lambe. The brand's journey began in the founders' kitchen in Shepperton, Surrey, where they spent countless nights perfecting the recipe for hand-cooked potato crisps. The product is known for its distinct 'brown bag' aesthetic and its commitment to using high-quality, natural ingredients.

The manufacturing process remains rooted in the UK, utilizing locally sourced British potatoes and rapeseed oil. While the company initially produced everything in-house, they later transitioned to professional outsourcing within the UK to meet growing demand while maintaining their artisanal quality. The brand has achieved significant success in the independent retail sector, consciously avoiding major supermarket distribution to support local shops, delis, and premium outlets.

Ownership of Brown Bag Crisps remains independent and family-run. As of 2026, the brand continues to operate under the stewardship of its original founders, Phil and Viv Lambe, maintaining its status as a quintessential British-owned snack company. They have expanded their presence internationally through export but remain headquartered in Surrey, England.
