Crisp lovers will soon be able to enjoy a delicious sandwich filled with their favourite snacks. Walkers is launching seven "Walkers Sandwich Shops" around the UK where diners will be able to buy the crunchy creations.
The crisp giant has partnered with existing sandwich shops around the UK to sell the new sandwiches. They will go on sale in the shops on June 12.
The shops are located in Brighton, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Newcastle, Norwich and Reading. They will be sold for one week only. The London shop is run by TV chef and "Sandwich King" Max Halley who helped launch Walkers' #CrispIN campaign alongside spokesperson and football pundit Gary Lineker.
Max, who owns Max’s Sandwich Shop, said: "For me, a well-applied crisp makes a good sandwich great, and a great sandwich extraordinary, and it doesn’t get more extraordinary than the #CrispIN menu that we’ve curated for the Walkers Sandwich Shops. These aren’t just classic Walkers crisp sandwiches, we’re bringing in Walkers Monster Munch, Quavers, Walkers French Fries and Wotsits, with a menu that takes crisp sandwiches to the next level.
"I urge any fellow fans – or even the #CrispOUT people yet to be converted – to head down to their nearest shop and give them a try. These creations might just change their mind! But if that isn’t possible, we’ve released the recipes, so that everyone can enjoy a taste of the action.”
The crisp sandwich menu includes Max's MightyMonster Munch sandwich which is a Pickled Onion Monster Munch-filled fish finger sandwich, with cabbage, chipotle mayonnaise and pico de gallo on focaccia.
Philippa Pennington at Walkers commented: “We believe that a bag of Walkers makes your lunchtime sandwich even more enjoyable, but it’s very clear to us that people feel very strongly about whether or not the crisps should be eaten in their sandwich or on the side. Last year the residents of Sandwich voted ‘Crisp In’ as the winning combination, but this year we’re widening the debate to showcase the wide range of crisp and sandwich combinations - from classic Walkers crisps through to Wotsits and Monster Munch.
“With Walkers Sandwich Shops located across the UK, we’re calling on people to head to their nearest shop, taste the sandwiches and have their say online by sharing their favourite combination from the menu, or favourite crisps to enjoy in a sandwich – whether that’s Wotsits, Monster Munch, Quavers, or classic Walkers.”
