Burts Snacks

About Us

At Burts we make great tasting, crunchy, British potato chips. Made with care in Devon, we use quality ingredients often locally sourced from independent businesses in the South West like the Artisan Malt Vinegar, Devon Chilli Farm and Quicke’s cheese. We’re one of the only independent premium hand-cooked snacking companies in the country and provenance is at the core of everything we do.

Our range spans across a variety of snacking formats including hand-cooked chips, Lentil Chips, Ridges and popcorn… some of which we produce for major retailers and snack brands. Our core range of flavours features the likes of Lightly Sea Salted, Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar, Mature Cheddar & Onion, as well as licensed products made in collaboration with Guinness. Due to our rapid growth we’ve been able to expand our portfolio so that we can produce a wider range of healthy snacking products under the Burts Snacks brand including our Lentil Chips and popcorn. Our key mission is to make delicious, authentic snacks for people who appreciate good food as much as we do, all whilst supporting independent suppliers and growers, caring about our community, Devon home and charities close to our heart, like the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
