For an individually portioned Bonfire Night snack, Walkers lists its Oven Baked Sea Salt, Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion crisps at 96 kcal per 22g pack. A sharing bag can work too, but compare calories for the amount you intend to serve as well as per 100g; check salt and the exact flavour’s allergen label before choosing for guests.
Small packs make it straightforward to offer one labelled portion per guest. Walkers lists its Oven Baked Sea Salt, Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion variants at 96 kcal per 22g pack; check which flavours are in a multipack before relying on those figures.
Calories alone will not settle the choice. Walkers’ Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar contains barley malt vinegar extract and lactose from milk, while its Cheese & Onion contains milk ingredients. Read the current pack for the flavour being served.
A sharing format calls for a serving plan. Tyrrells describes its 150g Naked bag as five 30g servings, each listed at 156 kcal; dividing crisps into bowls makes the stated serving size more useful than leaving the bag open.
Decide how much each guest is likely to be served, then compare that portion with the per-100g figures. Salt and ingredient checks are separate decisions, particularly when offering several flavours.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Calories per portion | Read kcal and weight for the pack or serving you plan to offer. Walkers lists 96 kcal per 22g Oven Baked pack; Tyrrells lists 156 kcal per 30g Naked serving; Seabrook lists 164 kcal per 31.8g Sea Salted bag. | I want to know the calories in the amount going into each guest’s hand or bowl, rather than compare packs of different weights as though they were equal. |
| Common-weight comparison | Compare kcal per 100g as well as per pack. KETTLE Chips lists 516 kcal per 100g for Lightly Salted, and Seabrook lists 516 kcal per 100g for Sea Salted. The NHS notes that a labelled portion may differ from the amount you eat. | A smaller bag may help me set a portion, but I also want a like-for-like weight comparison before choosing a crisp. |
| Salt | Check salt on the same serving or per-100g basis. Walkers lists 0.19g per 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt pack, Tyrrells 0.02g per 30g Naked serving and Seabrook 0.4g per 31.8g Sea Salted bag. | If salt matters for the guests I am serving, I will compare its label value separately from calories; a flavour name does not answer both questions. |
| Sharing format | Check how many servings the bag contains and portion it before serving. Tyrrells describes its 150g Naked bag as five servings; the British Nutrition Foundation suggests putting crisps into a bowl or choosing smaller multipack bags when managing portions. | For a Bonfire Night gathering, I would rather decide on bowls or individual packs before an open sharing bag makes portions difficult to judge. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredient and allergy statement for each flavour. Walkers’ Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar contains barley malt vinegar extract and lactose; its Cheese & Onion contains milk ingredients. | When guests have dietary requirements, I need to check the exact crisp offered, not assume that every flavour in a range has the same ingredients. |
“Lightly Salted” describes the KETTLE Chips flavour, while Tyrrells Naked (no salt) lists 0.02g salt and 156 kcal per 30g serving. Neither name supplies the calorie total for the portion you will eat.
Find kcal for your intended portion on the nutrition panel, then look at salt as a separate figure.
A Walkers Oven Baked 22g pack, a Tyrrells Naked 30g serving and a Seabrook Sea Salted 31.8g bag contain different amounts of crisps. Their per-pack or per-serving calorie totals are useful for those portions, not a common-weight comparison.
Check both the stated weight and kcal per 100g. Use the pack or serving figure only for the amount you actually intend to offer.
Walkers’ Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar contains barley malt vinegar extract and lactose from milk; its Cheese & Onion contains milk ingredients. A choice based on calories may therefore be unsuitable for a particular guest.
Check the ingredient list and allergy statement on each current pack before serving it to someone with an allergy or coeliac disease.
Tyrrells describes its 150g Naked bag as five 30g servings. Its 156 kcal figure applies to one stated serving, not the entire bag.
Put out individual packs or divide a larger bag into bowls before guests start eating. Keep the bag available if you need to check its label.
These figures describe named products and pack sizes, not every flavour or format made by each brand. Use the current label when choosing what to serve.

The 85g bag is a sharing format rather than an individual pack. If you want defined portions for guests, divide it into bowls and use the bag’s nutrition and allergy label to check the amount served and its suitability.
Use kcal per pack or serving for the amount you plan to offer, then kcal per 100g for a common-weight comparison. The NHS notes that a manufacturer’s stated portion may differ from what you eat, so check its weight as well as its calorie figure.
Walkers lists Oven Baked Sea Salt, Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion at 96 kcal per 22g pack. That figure applies to those named variants and pack size, not every Walkers product or a different-sized portion.
No: those descriptions do not state the calorie value. Tyrrells lists Naked (no salt) at 0.02g salt and 156 kcal per 30g serving, while KETTLE Chips lists 516 kcal per 100g for Lightly Salted. Read calories and salt separately on the exact product label.
Divide the bag into the portions you intend to offer before putting it out, or use individual packs. The British Nutrition Foundation suggests serving crisps in a bowl or choosing smaller multipack bags when managing how much is eaten at once.
Read the current ingredient list and allergy statement for every flavour you offer. Walkers’ Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar contains barley malt vinegar extract and lactose from milk, and its Cheese & Onion contains milk ingredients; a statement for one flavour cannot stand in for another.
