The best posh crisps to level up your picnic game this summer

Whether you’re planning a picnic, BBQ or simply want to upgrade your lunchtime snack, these elevated crisps make for the perfect posh treat.
When it comes to summer dining, crisps are a true British staple. Poured into bowls at every dinner party and last-minute garden BBQ. Wolfed down hungrily at after-work pints. Dipped into slightly warm tzatziki as you soak up the sun in the park. While generally considered a simple snack (ready-salted Pringles will always reign supreme in my household) recent years have seen an explosion of more elevated flavours.
From white truffle and lobster to fried egg (yes, really), 2024’s chicest crisps are also the poshest. So if you’re looking for foodie inspiration this summer that doesn’t require any cooking, these are nine of the buzziest brands to know. Add them to your charcuterie set up, ASAP.
