British crisp producer Fairfields Farm Crisps is introducing a limited-edition Cajun Barbecue flavour, landing in June 2026.

The crisps offer a ‘rich, smoky taste profile and bold twist’ on the brand’s classic crisp portfolio, while introducing Fairfields’ first-ever ridge-cut crisp, designed for ‘maximum crunch and flavour.’

Inspired by classic barbecue cooking, the recipe blends smoky, savoury depth with a subtle sweetness and warming Cajun spice kick. Notes of paprika, garlic, onion and black pepper are balanced with gentle Cajun heat and a tangy tomato barbecue twist with a peppery finish.

Like all crisps in Fairfields’ range, they are vegan-friendly and gluten-free. The company also champions a sustainable approach, growing its own potatoes and then seasoning, cooking and packing all its crisps on-site. This farm-to-bag process enables the team to oversee production at every stage, aiming to ensure consistent high quality.

The new flavour was selected with help from the brand’s Secret Crisp Committee, a panel of ‘crisp enthusiasts’ recruited from across the UK earlier this year. Successful applicants taste-tested a shortlist of unreleased flavours, sharing feedback on each and casting their vote, with the Cajun Barbecue flavour emerging as a ‘clear favourite.’

Robert and Laura Strathern, co-founders of Fairfields Farm, commented: “Our new Cajun Barbecue flavour is all about bold, layered taste, combining smoky barbecue richness with a warming Cajun spice blend. Launching it as our first ever ridge-cut crisp makes it even more exciting, as the deeper cut really holds the flavour and delivers an even bigger crunch.”

The seasonal flavour will launch in 150g sharing packs, described as ideal for summer sharing occasions such as barbecues and picnics. It will be available through wholesalers, select retailers and online for a limited time.
