None of the big four supermarkets in our area ever have the picked onion & worcester sauce flavour of the Seabrook crisps. In fact its ages since i have seen them in any shop around here. I always wonder why cos the picked onion ones are especially nice. I know you can get them from the Seabrook site but i always wonder why the supermarkets never sell them .

I've wondered that myself. They are my two favourite flavours.
You can buy boxes of them at Makro.

I haven't bought from the website recently because even they have been out of stock on several flavours.

The website seems to be nearly back to normal, only one original flavour out of stock. I might splash out on a box of mixed flavours on pay day and try out some of those new ones they have brought out.

I love Seabrooks crisps. They always bring back memories of my childhood. It really hacks me off that everyone thinks that Walkers are the be all and end all and everywhere you go it's always bloody Walkers crap all the time and never any other make of crisp.

I love the texture of Seabrooks and think the flavours are so intense. I like cheese and chive but they don't do my favourite anymore. When I used to go to school, they used to make a garlic and herb flavour. I first discovered Seabrooks in the vending machine in our local leisure centre when I used to go swimming. Now all you can get everywhere is bland greasy Walkers.

Don't think I've tried sea brooks crips so I'll look out for them as I do go to Makro sometimes . Plus I love picked onion flavour crisps!

I don't think Walkers are the be all and end all of crisps either - I really like 'real crisps' sold in tesco, to me they're a fairly new make produced here in Wales. I also like 'knights' crisps sold in Lidl which are produced in Ireland iirc.

Regarding Walkers however, they do a lot of flavours but when abroad they only supply slightly salted or lightly spiced. (well in Turkey anyhow). I know it's done to the country's tastes but I'm sure a few more flavours would sell. I believe 'lays' are Walkers - the packaging is the same sort of design.

Seabrookes used to do the best pickled onion flavoured crisps. They used to melt your tongue and make your eyes water.

They've tweaked them and tamed them now

Whatever happened to there spring onion and cheesy flavours as well? Two awesome crisp flavours! They have gone too mainstream when they started doing multipacks and selling them in the supermarkets!

You don't tend to get much of a selection in the supermarkets.
Some corner shops have a bigger selection of single packs. They will just buy boxes of the single flavours from the cash & carry.

I think your best option is to keep checking the website for when they have them instock.

Last time I ordered I bought a full box of pickled onion and a box of selected flavours.
