As a Doonhamer I always pick up a few bags when visiting from Glasgow and have ordered a box of 48 in the past. Best crisps by far. Another thing I've noticed is the prevalence of Red Kola compared to the stranglehold of Irn Bru in Glasgow. Had to laugh when one shop had modest storage for their other crisps and a huge cardboard box for the XL!
Barr's market all their flavours in England, well apart from red kola for some strange reason!
Haven't had these in years. How much will a box set you back?
I pay double that on Amazon.
Bringing this thread back.How the price can change in barely 6 months.Edgars now charge £20 a box.A rise of £3.50.Still good value against buying individual packets.
Ah good back to a lighter topic. Tarff Valley also sell boxes of the XL cheese crisps and last time I bought some they were around the £16:50 mark but be aware that they have only a couple of months on their use by date and it is a lot to get through in that time!!!!

I'm trying to fill in gaps in our family history and Rishy Crisps was part of it . . . but my recollections are sketchy. I think Rishy Crisps, at least as a factory, started in in the mid 60's in what was a former woollen mill in Great Harwood (or was it Rishton?). At the time I think it was a subsidiary of Brooks Beattie Biscuits in Wythenshaw (though it may have been Symbols Biscuits, Blackpool). I know that Rishy went on to provide crisps for M & S.
And our family's part in its history? My father, Stan Wallbridge, having previously created a biscuit factory for Carrs Biscuits in Bulawayo, was given the task of turning an empty woollen mill into a fully operational crisp factory and I have vague memories of wandering through the cavernous empty space before work began.
I would love to know what happened to Rishy, the address of the old mill and what it is being used for now. And I would be delighted if anyone has any old photos of Rishy Crisps.
