Choose Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt if you want familiar potato crisps in individual party packs: Walkers states they have 50% less fat than regular potato crisps, and each 22g pack lists 2.8g fat. Tyrrells Lentil Crisps offer a lentil-based alternative with a stated 30% less fat than standard potato crisps on average. For either choice, compare the exact serving and salt figures, and check the flavour’s allergen label before serving guests.
Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt offers familiar potato crisps without needing a shared bowl. Waitrose & Partners lists six 22g packs in the multipack; Walkers states that this flavour has 50% less fat than regular potato crisps.
If either format would suit the party, compare fat per 100g as well as the different serving sizes. Walkers lists 13g fat per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt; Tyrrells lists 19g per 100g for Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps.
Check each flavour rather than relying on a brand or multipack name. Walkers identifies Oven Baked Sea Salt as suitable for vegetarians, while the Waitrose & Partners listing carries a possible-allergen statement for that product.
Start with the exact flavour’s fat figure and stated comparator, then check serving size, salt and allergens for the way you plan to serve it.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat comparison | Compare fat per 100g for the exact flavours. Walkers lists 13g for Oven Baked Sea Salt and claims 50% less fat than regular potato crisps; Tyrrells lists 19g for Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps and claims 30% less fat than standard potato crisps on average. | I’m choosing between a baked potato crisp and a lentil crisp, and want to understand both the figures and what each manufacturer compares its product with. |
| Serving format | Check the number and size of inner packs, or how you will portion a larger bag. Waitrose & Partners lists six 22g packs for Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt, with 96 kcal and 2.8g fat per pack. | Separate packs would make handing out snacks simpler; if I use a larger bag, I can decide how to serve it before guests arrive. |
| Salt and energy | Read the values alongside serving size. Walkers lists 0.19g salt and 96 kcal per 22g Sea Salt pack; Tyrrells lists 0.63g salt per 30g serving of Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps. | A reduced-fat claim alone doesn’t tell me what is in the portion I plan to put out. |
| Guest requirements | Check the current ingredients, possible-allergen statement and dietary designation on every flavour. The Waitrose & Partners listing for Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt says it may contain cereals containing gluten, milk, mustard, soya and wheat. | Guests may need different options, so I’ll keep the packaging available and check the exact packs being served. |
A reduction claim describes fat against a stated comparator; it does not describe the salt or energy in your serving. Walkers lists 96 kcal and 0.19g salt per 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt pack, while Tyrrells lists 0.63g salt per 30g serving of Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps.
Check the nutrition panel for the exact flavour and compare the portions you would actually serve.

Walkers lists 2.8g fat, 96 kcal and 0.19g salt per 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt pack; Tyrrells lists 5.7g fat and 0.63g salt per 30g serving of Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps.

No. Department for Education guidance on food provided in state-funded schools in England says the school-food standards do not apply to food provided for celebrations. That England-specific guidance should not be treated as a rule for other UK nations; if a school is organising the event, check its current policy.
No. England’s Food (Promotion and Placement) Regulations 2021 address promotions and placement of specified high-fat, salt or sugar products by qualifying retailers, not a general ban on private purchases. According to legislation.gov.uk, the price-promotion restrictions came into force on 1 October 2025. Whether a particular product falls within those restrictions requires a product-specific assessment.
