Lister's Crisps

About Us

tom and laura

It is all about the family

Who we are?

We are Tom and Laura Platt, based on our Farm in Howden, East Yorkshire along with our daughter Autumn. We base ourselves right in the middle of the action where both the potatoes are grown for Lister’s and where our Crisp Factory is sited where Lister’s crisps are produced and dispatched.

We’re both 3rd and 4th generation Farmers respectively and in 2019 we made the decision to start Lister’s crisps and haven’t looked back since! Aside from Lister’s and Potatoes the Farm is still incredibly busy growing a variety of Arable crops including Wheat, Barley, Oats and Oil Seed Rape. We also have our own herd of beef cattle.

Lister’s crisps started with a desire to create the best tasting hand cooked crisps, all made on site on our family farm in Yorkshire, from a good crunch to amazing flavours we believe we have created the perfect crisps – and we hope you agree!

The keepers of traditions

Lister's Mission

At Lister’s Crisps, our mission is steeped in tradition and driven by our unwavering commitment to crafting the finest hand-cooked crisps. Our journey began with a simple desire – to create crisps that would leave a lasting impression on every palate, crisps that encapsulate the essence of our family farm in Yorkshire. For us, it has always been about preserving the age-old tradition of creating crisps that exude unparalleled quality and taste.

The heart of our mission lies in the cultivation of our very own home-grown potatoes. With meticulous attention to detail, we carefully select the finest potato varieties and nurture them in the perfect soil, ensuring each crop flourishes to its fullest potential. From the moment our potatoes are tenderly harvested, we handle them with the utmost care, washing, slicing, and frying them to perfection. With a touch of our signature seasoning, each batch is lovingly crafted and sealed in a bag for you to relish.

At Lister’s, tradition is the cornerstone of everything we do – from the time-tested techniques we employ to the authentic flavours we offer. With every bite of our crisps, we invite you to savour the legacy of a family devoted to excellence, and we hope that our crisps bring joy and satisfaction to your snacking moments. As the keepers of tradition, we are proud to share our passion for creating the perfect crisps with you, and we strive to continue this delicious legacy for generations to come.
