GENERAL QUESTIONS

Who are Leighton Brown?
We are a Mackem, a Pole and an Irishman, that may sound like a beginning of a joke but we can assure you we are deadly serious about vegetable crisps! We are Cara, Chris and Dom and we met 15 years ago, while working in a restaurant above an East London pub. We decided to use our culinary skills to create the tastiest vegetable crisps on the market. You can find out more on our About Us page.

What do you do?
Delicious Vegetable Crisps! They come in three vibrant flavours; Parsnip Crisps with Manuka Honey, Sweet Potato Crisps with Cheese and Jalapeno, and Beetroot Crisps with Horseradish and Dill. The heat from the Jalapeno peppers pairs perfectly with the cheese, the Manuka honey brings a gorgeous sweetness, and the dill and horseradish make a delightfully tangy pairing.

Are you crisps Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian?
Our range made with Natural Ingredients, Gluten Free and suitable for Vegetarians. Our Beetroot Crisps are also suitable for Vegans. You can find all the details on each product page.

Did you win any awards?
Over the years we have been awarded several prestigious Great Taste Awards by the Guild of Fine Food. In 2016 we were delighted to achieve a Gold Star for every one of our flavours.

PAYMENT AND SECURITY

Is it safe to order online?
Yes. When you input your name, address or credit/debit card details on to our website, the information is protected by the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This encrypts your details and ensures that the information you submit cannot be read in the unlikely event it is intercepted. If you are unsure as to when the SSL security is being applied, check that there is a Padlock Icon or a Key Icon next to the domain address of the page you are reading. When you use your card on our website, the credit card data entered into our payment form is never sent to our server. Instead, the data is sent directly to payment processor.

Which payment methods can I use?
We accept payments from all major credit and debit cards around the world, in all major currencies – and you can pay using your PayPal account. Our servers encrypt all information submitted to them, so you can be confident that your credit card information will be kept safe and secure.

Please note: prices on this store are displayed only in UK pound sterling (GBP).
Please note: the account you use to make payment may charge you for buying in a different currency, so to ensure you don’t get any surprises, we recommend checking with your account provider first, before you buy anything.
