Whether you grew up with Tayto, discovered them on a trip to Northern Ireland, or simply can't find them in your local supermarket, Snacks Online stocks a wide range of Tayto favourites with UK-wide delivery.
From the famous Cheese & Onion to Beef & Onion, Salt & Vinegar, Smoky Bacon and more, we're proud to help crisp lovers across the UK enjoy one of Northern Ireland's most iconic brands.
The Story of Tayto
Founded in 1956 by Thomas Hutchinson, Tayto began as a small family business with a workforce of just six people.
On its very first day of production, the company produced only 972 packets of crisps. From those humble beginnings, Tayto has grown into Northern Ireland's leading crisp brand, producing around one million packs of crisps and snacks every day.
More than seventy years later, Tayto remains one of the most recognised names in Irish snacking and is enjoyed in over 40 countries around the world.
Home of Tayto Castle
Tayto's home is Tandragee Castle in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
Dating back more than 500 years, the castle has become part of the brand's identity. Within the castle grounds is the famous flavour room where Tayto's distinctive seasonings—including its world-famous Cheese & Onion recipe—continue to be produced using recipes that have been carefully protected for generations.
Few crisp brands can honestly say their signature flavours were developed in the grounds of a castle.
Northern Ireland's Favourite Crisp
Tayto isn't simply another crisp brand.
It has become part of everyday life in Northern Ireland.
Today, Tayto holds more than 35% of the Northern Ireland crisp market, and around one in every four packets of crisps sold there is Tayto Cheese & Onion.
That popularity has created another challenge.
Outside Northern Ireland, Tayto can often be difficult to find in supermarkets, which is why so many customers turn to Snacks Online when they're looking for their favourite flavours.
If you can't find Tayto where you live, we're here to help.

- Uses over 20,000 tonnes of potatoes every year.
- Exports Tayto products to more than 40 countries worldwide.
