Welcome to the Tyrells Potato Chips trade stand.

Will Chase has been farming potatoes here at Tyrrells Court for the last twenty years. Most of the potatoes I grew I supplied to supermarkets, which often left me feeling detached – without any feedback or thanks from my end customers. With the continual price pressure from the supermarkets, I realised I had to change direction. I wanted to remain in farming, and produce a great tasting product that we could make out of our potatoes.

My aim was to produce the tastiest hand fried chips in the UK with a pedigree – using my years of knowledge, and ability to grow the raw product here at Tyrrells Court. I think growing the product yourself is probably still the hardest part of the process, however, unlike all other common chip makers who use brokers to source their potatoes; I’m in control from seed to chip! One of the secrets behind the delicious taste of Tyrrells crisps lies in the careful selection of age-old potatoes. We grow mainly old varieties – selected for their superior taste. We fry our potatoes in small batches using our own secret, refined traditional recipe.

With the idea to make potato chips, I spent Spring 2002 traveling the world in search of the equipment and recipes I needed to make the very best product possible. Summer 2002 was spent in one of the old potato sheds with a small fryer making and refining the very first packets of Tyrrells potato chips. As a result of the fantastic response to these early chips, and as demand increased, we decided to convert one of our own large potato stores into a modern, fully accredited production facility.

We now have a small team here at Tyrrells, all fully trained in all aspects of the chip-making process. Everyone enjoys being part of a growing company and we all contribute individually to the success of the company, and are passionate about producing real food, with pedigree.

We have a distinctive range of flavours and in addition, a range of exciting seasonal flavours. We also produce a delicious hand fried Root Vegetable range – including Parsnip chips and Beetroot chips.
