Pub crisps

SpaceCowb0y · 20-02-2014 03:38PM #1

Does anyone remember "pub crisps" this was actually the name of the crisps, and as far as i'm aware were only ever sold in pubs! Think they might have been made by Tayto but i'm not certain! All i remember is they were glorious and i want them, now!

Yeah, although I think it was King who made them rather than Tayto (I could be wrong on that), but it was definitely one of the two anyway.
Now that you've mentioned it, I'd love nothing more than a packet.

I remember them and yes they were lovely. These days all you seem to get is the generic Tayto or King.

I am partial to the Salt and Vinegar peanuts though!

The Backwards Man · 20-02-2014 03:42PM

Still make them, I think.

What's the difference?
Bigger bag?
Sure I've seem them around recently.

Were they not the same as normal crisps but in a bag that said pub ? A bit like Lucozarde did the pub size bottle. It was the same Lucozade inside it.

Maybe it was the few pints that went with them that made them nice ?

Two packets of Perri Pub Crisps and Two pints after school. Best years of my life.

DublinWriter · 20-02-2014 03:47PM

Made by the same crowd who make Tayto. Still nice, though.

anncoates · 20-02-2014 03:48PM

Presumably the only difference from normal King was the price and probably that the salt content was higher.

What I want to know is where can I get those yummy individually wrapped little ginger biscuits that a lot of places put on your saucer when you orfer a coffee?

Duggy747 · 20-02-2014 04:21PM

I wasn't drinking pints back then... maybe a shandy if the aul lad had had a few though! ha! But yes the bag specifically had a large "PUB" on the front of the pack, that i do remember!

They might have been made by Perri either! I'm not sure who made them! I'd love to know though as i will be writing to whoever did make them to find out if they will make me a batch!

That's not them either.... again that looks like a foil pack! We're talking late 80's early 90's crisps!

I do believe that's them. I remember them too, but I haven't seen a pack for donkey's years. I guess it's not cool to write "PUB" in big letters on a snack pack these days?? :pac::pac::pac:

Ya pub crisps come in a gigantic 50g bag unlike the limp wristed 27g bag that any Joe Soap can buy in the shops. That's nearly TWICE the size......*cough for 3 times the price.

i remember the tayto pub crisps.
big brown bag made a great sunday dinner.

freshpopcorn · 20-02-2014 04:28PM

I've saw the Perri pub crisps in our local maxol/mace a few times.

That looks more like a beer mat then the front of a packet of crisps so i can't really tell but it could be a winner! All i know i used to go through about a dozen packs on those family outings to the local when i was a young lad ha! Those were the days :pac:

Funny to think that kind of behaviour is frowned upon these days when it was the norm back then! Or maybe that was just my childhood

"Perri" crisps, along with "Pringles" and "Walkers" and anything with "gourmet" on it, is more of this Celtic Tiger meballacks, and is clearly the work of the Black-and-Tans subverting the State. Crisps are Tayto around hereabouts, and don't you forget it!

Nope , my childhood too.

Many a Sunday involved running around the pub like a mad thing, off my head on red lemonade.

Well, I used to belly-up to the bar in the village local at the age of about twelve, with a half-full glass of Smithwicks and a couple of packets of them Taytos with my Dad, God rest him. I guess I had a hard life too!

Perri has being around a good while not exactly a Celtic Tiger brand.
Originally owned by the Capaldi family, Largo Foods bought the Perri brand in 1984 thus establishing a firm position in the Irish snack-food industry. As one of Ireland’s oldest and most loved snack brands, Largo Foods has extended the Perri range beyond crisps to include a great variety of snack products.
