Tayto (Northern Ireland)[edit | edit source]

Tayto is a popular brand of crisps (potato chips) and snacks in Northern Ireland. The brand is owned by Tayto Group Limited, a company that was established in 1956 by the Hutchinson family in Tandragee, County Armagh. The name "Tayto" was derived from the sound that the crisps make when you eat them.

History[edit | edit source]

Tayto Group Limited was founded by Joe 'Spud' Murphy in 1954 in Dublin, Ireland. The Northern Ireland arm of the company was established two years later in 1956. The company was the first to introduce flavoured crisps to the market, with Cheese & Onion being the first flavour produced.

Products[edit | edit source]

Tayto offers a wide range of products, including crisps and snacks. Some of the popular flavours include Cheese & Onion, Salt & Vinegar, and Smoky Bacon. The company also produces a range of 'Real' crisps, which are hand cooked and come in a variety of flavours.

Tayto Castle[edit | edit source]

The Tayto factory is located in a castle in Tandragee, County Armagh. The castle, known as Tayto Castle, is over 500 years old and is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take a tour of the castle and see how the crisps are made.

In addition to the castle, Tayto also operates a theme park known as Tayto Park. The park, located in Ashbourne, County Meath, Ireland, features a variety of attractions, including a zoo, amusement rides, and a large play area.
