Discontinued Walkers crisps to RETURN to shelves across the UK in just days

CRISP lovers can rejoice as Walkers has just confirmed it is bringing back a fan favourite in days.

Packets of Worcester Sauce crisps will be available in stores across the UK from March 17.

The popular snack was discontinued in 2023.

Crisp fans were up in arms at the time, with one social media user tweeting: "What has happened to Walkers Worcester Sauce Crisps?

"I can't find them anywhere. I'm furious. Seriously what has happened?"

Another said: "You made a grave error dropping Worcester Sauce and I hope this hits your profits HARD."

They were briefly brought back earlier this year - but just in one specific shop in Worcester for one day.

The crisps were for free at Charlie's Convenience Store last Tuesday, leading hundreds to queue outside the shop.

A Walkers Instagram post announcing the limited release was flooded with comments from Worcester Sauce fans, with some saying "need them everywhere" and "NATION WIDE RELEASE NEEDED RIGHT NOW".

And it appears the crisp brand has listened.

Walkers apologised for getting rid of the snack, saying: "On reflection, maybe we shouldn't have just limited the sale of Walkers Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps to only one store in Worcester.

"Fans, we've heard your outrage loud and clear... So, we've decided that your favourite Walkers Worcester Sauce flavour crisps will land on shelves at retailers all over the UK from Monday 17th March onwards."

It said it was "working hard" to make the flavour available for everyone.

Plus, there's even more good news for fans of the flavour.

Walkers said the crisps are now "even more Worcestershire-y with Lea & Perrins' iconic sauce".

Lea & Perrins is the maker of one of the most famous Worcester sauces in the UK.

The crisp giant added: "We're sorry for any distress caused."

Cancelled Walkers crisps

If this sounds a little familiar, you wouldn't be wrong.

Walkers has a history of cancelling certain flavours before bringing them back later.

Last year it announced the return of another fan favourite, BBQ Sauce.

The popular flavour, launched in the 1990s, had been discontinued before making its comeback in 2024.

Walkers has also released some experimental flavours including Tomato Ketchup, and Cheese Toastie with Heinz Beans.
