Faversham-based brewer and pub company Shepherd Neame has teamed up with fellow independent business Kent Crisps for a delicious new partnership.
Kent Crisps will be available in selected Shepherd Neame pubs and hotels throughout Kent, London and across the South East from Monday, June 2.
The award-winning range of hand-cooked, traditional British crisps showcase some of Kent’s finest food and drink, with flavours including Ashmore Cheese and Onion, in collaboration with Cheesemakers of Canterbury, and Sea Salt & Vinegar with Biddenden Cider. Some of the county’s most celebrated landscapes and landmarks are also promoted on the packets, including Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral.
It isn’t the first time that the Kent-based companies have worked together, as more than a decade ago, they came up with a popular flavour combining Roast Beef with Shepherd Neame’s award-winning Spitfire Amber Ale.
Executive Chef Ellina Smith said:
“As a business, we are passionate about supporting local producers, which is why we are delighted to announce our new partnership with Kent Crisps. In addition to creating incredibly tasty crisps, which are also gluten free and free from artificial flavours and preservatives, it is a fellow independent Kent business that shares our commitment to sustainability and local sourcing. We are confident that its award-winning range of products will prove popular with our customers.”
In addition to offering customers the full range of Kent Crisps, which currently consists of seven flavours, Shepherd Neame is also offering award-winning Cambrook Nuts and Alf Turner Pork Scratchings, which will be distributed by local wholesaler Curd & Cure.
Kent Crisps’ Owner Laura Bounds said:
“We are delighted that Kent Crisps are launching in Shepherd Neame’s pubs, it’s a testament to the quality of our crisps and dedication from the team. As two iconic, independently owned Kent brands, this is a true Kent partnership, demonstrating our shared commitment to the local food, drink and tourism industry in Kent whilst also keeping food miles to a minimum. We’re looking forward to working with them and the fantastic opportunity it offers us to bring our award-winning crisps to new audiences."
