Glasgow sandwich shop to create Walkers 'piece and crisps' in UK deli battle

Remember as a kid you would make a sandwich and rather than have crisps on the side, you would pile them in sky high until you could fit no more. After that you would then slam the bread shut, pressing down and hearing that epic crunch?

Well if this is something you still do, then there's no need to be embarrassed with many people in full agreement that you cannot beat this epic lunchtime meal.

And soon Glaswegians will be able to buy this from a local sandwich shop with Walkers launching seven "Walkers Sandwich Shops" around the UK where diners will be able to buy the crunchy creations.

The crisp giant has partnered with existing sandwich shops around the UK to sell the new creations and they will go on sale on June 12.

The shops are located in Glasgow as well as Brighton, Liverpool, London, Newcastle, Norwich and Reading. They will be sold for one week only.

The epic creation being sold in the city is by Enzo's Sandwich & Cappuccino Bar Glasgow, located on Renfield Street, and is a a Chicken Tikka Wotsits Sandwich.

Locals will be able to pick up a crispy ciabatta with diced chicken mixed with a tikka masala-infused mayo, topped with a layer of mozzarella slices and scattered with Walkers Wotsits Really Cheesy flavour.

Philippa Pennington at Walkers commented: “We believe that a bag of Walkers makes your lunchtime sandwich even more enjoyable, but it’s very clear to us that people feel very strongly about whether or not the crisps should be eaten in their sandwich or on the side. Last year the residents of Sandwich voted ‘Crisp In’ as the winning combination, but this year we’re widening the debate to showcase the wide range of crisp and sandwich combinations - from classic Walkers crisps through to Wotsits and Monster Munch.

“With Walkers Sandwich Shops located across the UK, we’re calling on people to head to their nearest shop, taste the sandwiches and have their say online by sharing their favourite combination from the menu, or favourite crisps to enjoy in a sandwich – whether that’s Wotsits, Monster Munch, Quavers, or classic Walkers.”

Which Walkers crisp sandwiches can I buy?

Each of the seven sandwich shops have come up with their own crisp sandwich recipe. The crisp sandwiches on sale are:

  • Max's Mighty Monster Munch sandwich from Max's Sandwich Shop - a Monster Munch-filled fish finger sandwich, with crunchy slaw, zingy chipotle mayo and a flavoursome pico de gallo, all nestled between home-baked fluffy focaccia.
  • The BLC (Bacon, Lettuce & Crisps) sandwich from Logan’s, Norwich - layers of bacon, lettuce and Walkers Baked Sea Salt crisps, with spicy cheese, grated carrot, red onion, mayo and lettuce. Finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and served in a fresh baguette.
