Devon Craft, British Produce

Burts is known for its uncompromising approach to ingredient quality:

100% UK‑grown, Red Tractor‑approved potatoes
Sourced from farms in South West, ensuring short supply chains and freshness
Additional ingredients sourced from local South West suppliers, including Quicke’s Cheese, South Devon Chilli Farm and Eversfield Organic.

Burts’ crisps are hand‑cooked in small batches for exceptional crunch and flavour, a signature that has helped the brand win multiple awards across the region.

Burts has become one of the most sustainability‑driven snack manufacturers in the UK, implementing major innovations across packaging, carbon reduction and waste management.
