Pipers Crisps Reviews 

I recently bought several boxes of pipers crisps in a variety of flavours as in the past they have always been a favourite of mine - I tried the sea salt and they were awful and tasted stale and hardly any taste - I tried a beef also and these had exactly the same stale taste with hardly any flavour - their shelf life was until Dec 26 so they def were not out of date altho def tasted it - I am returning all my bought items as whatever pipers have done they are inedible - I’ll never ever buy this brand again

Got cider vinegar & sea salt. Had to search where to leave a review as they were soo bad! Practically no vinegar flavour, only salt. I mean I know crisps need to be salty but these hurt my mouth. It’s like eating salt with some dried up ‘substance’ as you can’t even taste potato.
On top of that they were super greasy. I mean most of them were translucent because of amount of grease.
Finally, i got curious about ‘Est. by farmers’ logo on packet. Well funny they don’t put current owners on logo and that’s because it is PepsiCo, multinational corporation that does not pay taxes here in UK!

I like these crisps when they are fresh and as they are meant to be, but find increasingly that when I open a bag even with a long sell by date, they are often stale and soft with a rancid taste. I also notice that many crisps have black marks on them. I suppose I should return the stale packs to Sainsbury’s but I don’t always eat them immediately so have thrown away the receipt. They are certainly not what they used to be. I would also only ever buy them when on offer as £3 for a 150gm bag is nonsensical.

I like crisps.. A LOT! So maybe I'm a bit of an expert here 🤣 Anyway. I have tried all brands, flavours, types from very posh to standard.... Have to say Pipers crisps are up there with the best. Recently I spahed out £6 on some extra fancy ones from M&S which were obviously great but only on a par with Pipers. Quite hard to get hold of from anywhere but Sainsbury's which is a shame

My favourite crisps brand! Don’t ever change your product or flavours they are the best!

Tried the beef flavour and it was very weak ive had stronger from own brand supermarkets not worth £3 in my opinion

These crisps are slightly better than walkers, they are thicker than walkers, its a shame that most of the crisp market is now owned by pepsico or kp, would be nice if independent crisp makers stayed true to themselves instead of selling their souls to the multi nationals. Overpriced as they all are.

These are usually nice crisps and some of the best of the more popular brands, but I have been disappointed with the quality and customer services recently.
I opened a fresh bag nearly two weeks ago (sea salt) to find that all of the crisps felt stale when biting into them. Whilst this is difficult to prove, I contacted the company using their dedicated form for complaints. I have yet to hear back from them. If they weren't stale before, they certainly are now!

150g bag of Anglesey Sea Salt crisps with over 30% having black marks made from blackened potatoes. This isn't a one-off (although was worse than most bags we've had recently). An increasing number of bags are made with sub-standard potatoes.

Pipers have been our crisps of choice for years. As with so many small, local companies, quality has deteriorated after being bought by a multinational.

I would usually contact the company direct before coming to Trustpilot to complain, but the complaints form on the Pepsico website is impossible to complete without giving my full address, which is unnecessary additional data having provided my email address. I'm not prepared to give that data to Pepsico.

We'll be switching to a different brand.

Bought a packet of plain crisps with Anglesey sea salt this evening in a pub, they were £1.50 and my husband and I both find them ‘greasy’. Wouldn’t rush to buy them again

First time I came across these was ‘begging’ a few cheese and onion crisps from my fella and loved the taste so much that I ordered all the available flavours in my next online shop. So far I’ve tried cheese and onion, longhorn beef and salt and vinegar. I’ve found all of them to be superior in taste to the ‘normal’ range of crisps. My taste buds just love the flavour and texture of these crisps. I’ve also noticed that these seem to becoming the crisp of choice in pubs.

When Pipers Cheddar & Onion crisps came out, it was like going back in time. I remembered Golden Wonder Cheese & Onion crisps, thick, fresh, full of flavour. The Pipers crisps were lovely. I've been on a diet for 9 months so crisps were out. Had a break from my strict diet and bought a packet.
They were always slightly more expensive than other makes, but the taste and quality made them worthwhile.
But the price of a packet had shot up in my absence. In one bakery shop they were charging £1.45 for a packet! So much so, that I started buying boxes on Ebay. But not only had the price increased, the quality had decreased. The crisps were much thinner, similar to Walkers crisps. More of the crisps inside the packet had what looks like air bubbles on them.
So I'm afraid that I have bought my last packet

After discovering Pipers Crisps a few years ago I thought them so good that I would only buy crisps when they were available. Recently I have have found them pale, stale and unappetising just like a Walkers crisp. What can have gone wrong? Pipers have been bought by Walkers crisps! Why change the recipe? Presumably to kill off the competition? I have stopped buying crisps.

I used to love Pipers crisps and before Sainsbury’s sold them, I used to order boxes online and have them delivered by the Pipers van.
They were crispy, salty and tasted like crisps from my youth. Often tasted like chips from a proper Yorkshire fish n chips shop. Great flavour.
But now they are soggy, less salt and taste stale even with a long sell-by date.
Since the takeover they have become as bland as Walkers.
Completely lost their USPs.

Bought 2 packets of cider vinegar & sea salt crisps for me and my daughter - we both agreed they tasted odd with undertones of cheese & onion - yuck !!

Worst crisps I have eaten - no comparison to Walkers !!

Crisps arrived in bits. It was like eating a bag of splinters. Probable rough handling in transit. Suggest you put FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CATRE on your boxes.

Just tried Longhorn Beef flavour.
More cheese or nutritional yeast flavour than beef.
Unpleasant and left nasty lingering aftertaste.

Just tried a second bag of Pipers Crisps from Sainsburys. Texture in both bags soft and stale! Inedible.

Gone from being the best crisps with lots of flavour to one of the worst! Bland and flavourless now! Cheddar crisps used to be full
Of flavour and clearly better than every other crisp on the market - who the hell thinks it’s ok to reduce flavour, reduce quality and charge more? The fact that many people including myself have taken the time to write a review should alarm the owners that they are getting it wrong!!!

Pipers crisps all black ends I was hoping to include photo. I would have taken back to pub although too late. Open when you purchase. I took photos but had to throw the packet.
