A Classic Sandwich Filling
Some flavour combinations are so embedded in UK food culture that it feels strange they don’t already exist in crisp form. Cheese and pickle is one of them. This new design concept proposes a Walkers crisp bag dedicated to the most specific version of that pairing: Cheddar cheese and Branston Pickle.
The mockup shows a standard 32.5g bag, using the familiar Walkers logo and layout but with a colour scheme split between Branston’s signature deep purple and a block of cheddar yellow. The Branston logo is prominent, suggesting a full brand partnership. It’s a classic pairing. The idea of translating the sharp, sweet tang of the pickle and the savoury depth of cheddar onto a potato crisp is straightforward. It is an obvious fit for the format.
Walkers and Flavour Crossovers
Walkers has a long history of branching out from its core portfolio. While the mainstays like Ready Salted, Cheese & Onion, and Salt & Vinegar are permanent fixtures, the brand frequently experiments with limited runs and collaborations. This is not new for them.
The current range shows a clear strategy of using co-branding to generate interest. The Walkers Max KFC Zinger crisps are a primary example of a partnership with another major food name. This Branston concept would follow the same logic, bringing together two household brands. It also fits alongside their more recent flavour profiles, which move beyond traditional crisp tastes. The lineup now includes adventurous options like Hot Honey, Masala Chicken, and Sticky Teriyaki. A Branston crisp would sit comfortably among these, offering a distinctly British but equally bold alternative.
What the real range looks like
Walkers’ current range is split between classics like Ready Salted, Cheese & Onion, Salt & Vinegar, and Prawn Cocktail, and more recent, bolder flavours. The list of newer additions includes Hot Honey, Sticky Teriyaki, and the Walkers Max KFC Zinger crossover. A Branston Pickle & Cheddar flavour would fall into this second category of ambitious, brand-led concepts.
