For festival hand-outs, choose a multipack whose number of sealed bags fits the expected attendance. Sharing bags suit managed bowl service instead, but they do not give each guest a sealed portion. For dietary requirements, check the exact flavour’s current ingredients and allergen label rather than relying on a brand name.
Count bags against expected guests before choosing a pack. The Walkers Classic Variety box listed by Tesco Groceries contains 20 individual 25g bags; a smaller multipack may require more packs for the same hand-out plan.
Sharing bags fit a managed table or hospitality area where guests do not need their own sealed bag. Tyrrells describes its 150g Lightly Sea Salted bag as five 30g servings.
Check each flavour’s current pack rather than treating a whole range alike. KETTLE Chips describes Lightly Salted as gluten-free and suitable for vegans, while Seabrook’s Cream Cheese & Chives ingredients include milk.
Start with how guests will receive the crisps, then compare pack counts, serving information and the labels for the exact flavours you plan to serve.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bag count | Check the number of bags and grams per bag. A 20 x 25g pack provides 20 sealed bags, while a 6 x 25g pack provides six. | I need to know how many guests can each receive a sealed snack, without counting a sharing bag as several wrapped portions. |
| Serving format | Decide between individual bags and a sharing bag. Tyrrells states that its 150g Lightly Sea Salted bag contains five 30g servings. | For a staffed bowl or hospitality table, I can portion from a larger bag; for grab-and-go service, guests need separate bags. |
| Ingredients | Read the current label for each flavour’s ingredients, allergens and dietary statements. Do not apply one recipe’s claims to its entire brand range. | If guests ask about allergens, vegan suitability or gluten-free options, I need information for the particular packs being served. |
| Salt per serving | Compare the stated serving size as well as salt per serving. Tyrrells lists 0.20g per 30g for Lightly Sea Salted and 0.54g per 30g for Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar. | When crisps are one part of a wider snack menu, I want to compare the nutrition panels for the flavours under consideration. |
Tyrrells describes its 150g Lightly Sea Salted bag as five servings, but it does not provide five individually wrapped bags.
Count sealed bags for hand-out service; use the stated serving information when planning managed bowl service.
Recipes differ. Seabrook describes Sea Salt & Vinegar as vegan, while its Cream Cheese & Chives product contains milk.
Check the exact flavour’s current ingredients and allergen statement, and keep that information accessible to staff answering guests’ questions.
A figure per 100g and a figure per serving describe different quantities. Sharing bags can also contain more than one stated serving.
Use the exact flavour’s nutrition panel and compare like-for-like serving quantities.
Its Classic Variety 20 x 25g box is a format to consider when handing out individual bags.
The listed Classic Variety 6 x 25g multipack suits a plan that calls for six individual bags of its particular flavour mix.
Its 150g Lightly Sea Salted sharing bag fits bowl service rather than sealed hand-outs.
The Lightly Salted recipe is worth checking when vegan and gluten-free suitability matters.
Its crinkle-cut range offers different flavour choices, with ingredients and dietary statements that vary by recipe.
Its Sea Salt & Black Pepper 24 x 35g case provides a fixed count of individual bags for attendance planning.
These multipacks offer individual bags for festival hand-outs. Check each pack’s bag count and flavour labels against your attendance and guests’ requirements; they are not the same products as every brand example above.

Twenty 25g bags make the pack straightforward to count for sealed hand-outs. Check the Meaty Variety flavour labels and allergens before serving.

Twelve 22g bags suit a hand-out plan needing this bag count. Squares are a different snack format from conventional crisps; check the pack’s flavour and allergen information.

Twelve bags provide a countable option for hand-outs. Check this 12-pack’s own flavour and allergen labels rather than applying details from the separately listed McCoy’s 6 x 25g pack.

Six 25g bags suit a smaller hand-out count or a plan using several packs. Confirm the exact flavour ingredients and dietary suitability on the current label.

Twelve 24g bags offer a hoop-shaped snack for individual hand-outs. Check the exact variety’s ingredients and allergen label before including it in the menu.
Start with the number of guests expected to receive a sealed bag, then check the multipack’s bag count. For bowl service, use the serving information for the sharing bag instead: Tyrrells describes its 150g Lightly Sea Salted bag as five 30g servings.
No. Check the exact flavour’s current pack. KETTLE Chips describes Lightly Salted as gluten-free and vegan, and Seabrook makes those statements for Sea Salt & Vinegar; Seabrook’s Cream Cheese & Chives, by contrast, contains milk.
Compare the same serving quantity for the exact flavours under consideration. Tyrrells lists 0.20g salt per 30g serving for Lightly Sea Salted and 0.54g per 30g serving for Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar; neither figure describes every Tyrrells recipe.
