Kent Crisps has secured an ongoing partnership with bar and restaurant chain Elite Pubs.

The award-winning independent crisp firm, based in Bridge, near Canterbury, will see its products stocked across Elite Pubs’ 14 outlets across Kent and East Sussex.

Elite’s outlets include the Wildshark Vineyard in Harriestsham, the Wishful Thinker in Lenham and The Farm House in West Malling. Other outlets include sites in Maidstone, Tonbridge, Bethersden and Lamberhurst.

It says some 85% of its suppliers are from within a 25-mile radius of an Elite Pub.

Kent Crisps’ owner, Laura Bounds, said: ‘It’s a partnership that makes sense because we share such a similar ethos when it comes to supporting the local food, drink and tourism industry in Kent. It’s great news for both existing Kent Crisp customers and patrons of Elite Pubs.”
