If all of the crisps produced in this factory were laid end-to-end they would cover a mind-boggling 19,000 miles. Come and see how one of Northern Ireland’s most popular crisp brands produces their crisps. Top tip: If your new potatoes are well behaved, they may be able to taste some.
At the end of the tour, every visitor will be given six bags of freshly made Tayto crisps, so there’s no need to bring a picnic.
