Walkers Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce Potato Crisps

Walkers Worcester Sauce crisps are a quintessentially British snack, featuring a distinctive collaboration with the iconic Lea & Perrins brand. Originally founded in Leicester in 1948 by Henry Walker, the brand was born out of a meat shortage during post-war rationing, which led the local butcher to shift his focus from pork pies to potato snacks.

Today, Walkers is the leading crisp manufacturer in the UK. The products are primarily manufactured at the company's massive production facility in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, which is one of the largest crisp factories in the world. The brand uses 100% British potatoes, sourced from farms across the UK to maintain its long-standing heritage and local connection.

In 1989, Walkers was acquired by the American multinational PepsiCo. Under PepsiCo's ownership, the brand has maintained its distinct identity in the United Kingdom while sharing a visual logo (the 'sun' logo) with its international sister brands like Lay's. This specific variety incorporates the flavouring of Lea & Perrins, which itself is owned by Kraft Heinz, representing a strategic partnership between two industry giants.
