Crunching your way through Devon with Burts Chips

by Maria Makepeace / Food Drink

Tucked away in a corner of Devon with roaring seas, lush green fields, ragged cliffs and skies you could almost touch, Burts takes pride in making tasty and crunchy British potato chips, putting care and attention into each hand-cooked batch.

Devon’s where Burts has called home since launching back in 1999, working with brilliant local producers to add a bit of Devon’s magic to every pack. And Burts has been independently praised for its great tasting premium snacks, that leave a lasting impression on folk thanks to the rich flavours of the South West.

Made with care in Devon

Burts‘ story is seasoned with the saltiness of sea air, the richness of Devon soil, and a commitment to crafting the finest potato chips with care, ensuring unparalleled quality and taste. Burts prides itself on the fantastic partnerships that make its snack experience truly exceptional.

Burts take pride in sourcing the finest Red Tractor approved British potatoes, supporting local suppliers and growers, encouraging strong relationships within the community. And two thirds of Burts potatoes come from within an 85-mile radius from its factory in Plymouth, working with farmers such as Colwith Farm, Splattenridden Farm, New Rydon Farm, Hay Farm, Treleathick Farm and Trenowth Farm.

Burts works with some exceptionally talented local ingredient suppliers to help create its flavours. To name a few… Exeter Cheddar maker, Quickes, has been nurturing the family farm for 14 generations, crafting the finest flavours from Exeter. Burts uses Mary Quicke’s award-winning Mature Clothbound Cheddar along with spring onions in the ultimate double act in Burts‘ Mature Cheddar and Onion potato chips. Burts also partners with The Artisan Malt Vinegar Company on its Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar potato chips. The vinegar experts there make award-winning malt vinegar… slow-fermented, then oak-matured for over a year in the depths of Cornwall. And don’t forget about the South Devon Chilli Farm and Eversfield Organic! Both family owned businesses, they’re both passionate about producing the best possible produce that gives Burts‘ its award-winning flavours.

As well as supporting independent growers and suppliers, Burts is passionate about being a meaningful part of their Devon community and supporting charities close to its heart. Burts partners with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI), helping to raise vital funds so the charity can continue its lifesaving work keeping the UK’s coastlines safe. And in 2022, Burts launched a co-designed pack with the charity, a limited-edition Prawn Cocktail flavour which proved so popular the company increased its donation target to the RNLI to £40k. Bursting with tangy, zesty notes, this flavour transports your tastebuds to a British seaside paradise.

Snack time, Devon style

Burts offers a variety of other delicious flavours to suit all preferences. From classics including Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar, Mature Cheddar & Onion and Lightly Sea Salted to punchy flavours in the form of Devon Roast Beef, Spicy Sweet Chilli and Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, every pack is a testament to Burts‘ dedication to flavour perfection.

And each and every one of Burts‘ crisps are made with authentic flavours and are free from MSG, artificial colours, artificial flavourings and hydrogenated fat, guaranteeing the exceptional taste and texture that Burts Chips are known for.

Burts also makes flavourful hand-cooked Ridges, which are crinkle cut for added crunch and bags more flavour. And last year, Burts launched the UK’s first ever range of hand-cooked, premium small batch popcorn, coming in at just 126 calories or less per pack. Available in two varieties – Lightly Salted and Sweet & Salty – they’re both all natural, vegan and vegetarian friendly as well as a great source of fibre and are gluten free. Burts‘ Lentil Chips are always on hand to handle the cravings, but without the guilt. With 100 calories or less per pack, the chips come in three flavours – Lightly Salted, Sour Cream & Chive and Barbecue.
