Manchester-headquartered potato crisp brand Ten Acre has secured a listing with UK supermarket chain Waitrose.

Three flavours of the brand’s Hand Cooked range – The Story of When the Cheese Met the Onion, When Hickory Got BBQ’d and The Amazing Adventures of Salt and Vinegar – are rolling out in 157 Waitrose stores across the UK.

“We are very excited to see our fabulous Ten Acre brand hitting the shelves of Waitrose,”​ said Robert Strathern, owner of the brand.

“Ten Acre offers a selection of delicious hand-cooked crisps that are perfect for those following special diets: the whole Ten Acre range is suitable for vegans those looking for a cheese and onion fix without compromising their choice to eat dairy free.

“Ten Acre is available in the free from aisle and we expect them to be particularly popular with discerning Waitrose customers who seek out delicious new snacking ideas.”

Ten Acre crisps are available in six variants, including The Day Sweet and Sour Became Friends, When the Chilli got Sweet, The Amazing Adventures of Salt and Vinegar, The Story of When the Cheese Met the Onion, The Secret Of Mr Salt and When Hickory Got BBQ’d. Ten Acres also produces Hand Picked popcorn, available in two flavours, Aunty Winifred’s Sweet and Salty Popcorn and Lucia Popperley’s Cappuccino Popcorn.

All products are suitable for vegans and those following gluten free and dairy free diets. They are also MSG free and Kosher.
