For one sealed snack, Seabrook lists Sea Salted Crunchies at 82 kcal per 18g bag, while Walkers lists Oven Baked Sea Salt at 96 kcal per 22g pack but fewer calories per 100g: 438 versus Seabrook’s 453. Choose according to the portion you expect to eat, then check the per-100g figures, salt and the exact pack’s allergen information before serving guests.
If you expect to finish one packet at the gathering, the calories for the whole bag are more useful than a figure for a smaller suggested serving. Check its weight too: an 18g bag and a 22g bag are different portions.
Individual packs let guests choose a portion and flavour. Keep the packaging available so anyone who needs to check ingredients, allergens or salt can read the label for the exact product being served.
Walkers lists 438 kcal per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt; Tyrrells lists 519 kcal per 100g for Lightly Sea Salted. Compare products at the same weight as well as checking how much comes in the packet you plan to eat.
Start with the amount you expect to eat, then use the per-100g label to compare differently sized products. The NHS notes that a manufacturer’s suggested portion may not match the amount you eat.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Calories in your portion | Read kcal for the whole bag or stated serving, its weight in grams and how many servings the pack contains. | If I’m likely to finish a sealed bag, I want its full calorie figure rather than one for a smaller serving. |
| Same-weight comparison | Compare kcal per 100g alongside pack calories. Seabrook lists 453 kcal per 100g for Sea Salted Crunchies; Walkers lists 438 for Oven Baked Sea Salt. | A smaller bag might suit my planned portion, but I also want to know how the products compare at the same weight. |
| Fat and salt | Check fat and salt per 100g; use per-pack figures as well when available. Seabrook lists 1.69g salt per 100g for Sea Salted Crunchies. | Calories aren’t my only consideration, particularly if I might eat more than one bag during the evening. |
| Sharing portions | Check the bag weight and stated number of servings. Tyrrells lists its 150g Lightly Sea Salted bag as five 30g servings. | If I’m setting out a sharing bag, I’d rather decide how much to put in a bowl than treat the whole bag as one portion. |
| Guest suitability | Read the ingredients and allergen and may-contain statements on each exact flavour. Don’t apply one variant’s information to another. | When guests need to check a particular ingredient, I want the original packet close to the snacks being served. |
Seabrook lists 82 kcal for an 18g bag of Sea Salted Crunchies, while Walkers lists 96 kcal for a 22g pack of Oven Baked Sea Salt. Per 100g, the manufacturers list 453 kcal and 438 kcal respectively, so the per-bag comparison tells a different story from the same-weight comparison.
Check the whole-bag calories, weight and kcal per 100g before deciding which portion suits you.
Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies list 82 kcal per 18g bag and 1.69g salt per 100g. A calorie figure does not tell you the product’s salt content.
If salt is part of your decision, read its per-100g and per-serving figures separately.
Tyrrells lists 208 kcal for a 40g pack of Lightly Sea Salted crisps. Its 150g bag is labelled as five 30g servings, so the amount eaten depends on how the bag is divided.
Choose individual packs or portion a sharing bag into bowls if you want each serving to be clear.
Walkers Oven Baked Cheese & Onion contains milk, and Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies carry may-contain statements for milk, soya, sulphites and cereals containing gluten. The details differ between products.
Check the exact pack before offering it to a guest with an allergy, and keep its ingredient information available.
These figures describe the specified products and flavours, not every crisp made by each brand. Compare the pack you are buying before applying them to a different size or variant.

This is seaweed rather than a potato crisp, with a 5g portion in each pack. Its small pack size makes checking both per-pack and per-100g nutrition particularly important.

The multipack provides six 20g portions of a wheat-based snack. Read the exact pack’s calorie, ingredient and allergen information when comparing it with potato crisps.
Use both: per-bag calories describe what you would eat if you finished that bag, while kcal per 100g lets you compare products of different weights. The NHS notes that a manufacturer’s stated portion may differ from the amount you actually eat.
Seabrook lists Sea Salted Crunchies at 82 kcal per 18g bag, compared with Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt at 96 kcal per 22g pack. Walkers lists fewer calories per 100g for that flavour, though: 438 versus Seabrook’s 453. The choice depends on whether you are comparing one whole bag or the same weight of each snack.
No. The Walkers Oven Baked flavours described here have lower listed kcal per 100g than the specified Tyrrells, KETTLE, McCoy's and REAL crisps, but that does not establish a rule for every baked product. Check the exact flavour’s per-100g figure and pack size; a smaller non-baked snack can still have fewer calories in one bag.
Read the ingredients and allergen statements on the exact packs and keep those packs available. Walkers Oven Baked Cheese & Onion contains milk, while Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies list several may-contain allergens; neither a brand name nor a flavour name substitutes for the product label.
