Seabrook Crisps

Seabrook Crinkle Cut Crisps Introduction If you don’t live in the North of England you may not have heard of these crisps, been a Northern company, and been primarily sold in the North of England, they are much more popular here than down South. Seabrook was founded in 1949 in the small Northern town of Allerton, Bradford, by a man called Charles Brookes. The origin of the name Seabrook is quite interesting, and apparently came from an error in a photo processing shop when an employee instead of writing C.

Think of crisps and the name Walkers will probably spring to mind. These days however there are many cheaper alternatives on the shelves. I have tried some of these including supermarket's own brands but I have always gone back to walkers. However recently I have discovered Seabrook's potato crisps, and this time for me, there may be no going back.

I love Walkers crisps, but sometimes I just want something a bit different. Until I moved to England, I don't think I'd ever had Seabrook crisps, but once I found them I really started to like them. I don't see them sold everywhere, but I do always see them in Asda. In 1939, a man called Mr C. Brook was going to open his own fish and chip shop, however when the signage for his shop came back they had made a critical spelling error which made his name Seabrook. He embraced the idea rather than disliking it and then he and his son came across the idea of doing this as a crisp company. Ever since ... more

You know how it is.... you pop to the corner shop for a savoury treat, scan the shelves, and everything looks so familiar!! Walkers, Hula Hoops, Monster Munch, Space Raiders etc etc....
