Owner John Harrison’s original snack range was simple: pickled onion Monster Munch, KP nuts and Walkers crisps. If the popularity of hand-cooked crisps reflects how Jamie and Nigella have transformed British attitudes to flavour, other shifts in pub snacks similarly track wider food trends. Stuart Smith, the merchandising director at the foodservice giant Brakes, says that, instead of packets to rip open and share, individual items in recyclable packaging are on the up. In August 2001, Walkers announced a special Halloween variant of the Pickled Onion flavour that could turn the consumer's tongue blue, and was promoted with The Beano and The Dandy comics and three ten-second spots that would air on Boomerang.In August 2008, Walkers announced that the brand would be relaunched again as "Mega Monster Munch" with a focus on nostalgia and an adult audience, following requests to revert the brand back to its previous state.

On the issue of whether the snacks are shaped like monster claws or individual monsters, Walkers said "whilst we think of them as monsters’ feet, we don't want that to stop people from coming up with their own imaginative ideas. The other represented the gangly, long-tongued Pink Monster: circular with two bumps on the top for eyes, protrusions on either side and a tongue dangling down. The original flavour for Monster Munch when it launched was Roast Beef, followed by Pickled Onion flavours a year later and Saucy in 1981.In the past seven years, the snack menu at Sheffield micropub the Beer House has been on quite a journey. Unless you’re paying particular attention to the chocolate, you would think they had come out of the same packet.

Meanwhile, scotch eggs are still enjoying a PR bounce from last December’s cabinet-level debate over whether or not they counted as a “substantial meal”. We found once we’d squirted it over our burgers and hotdogs we really couldn’t tell which was which. Massey previously tried to sell biltong and beef jerky, “two or three times and it failed miserably. For a limited time in the early 1990s, there were also spider-shaped Monster Munch in the Sizzling Bacon flavour. This product had previously been marketed under the Wotsits brand as "Wotsits Wafflers," when it was re-launched in July 2012, and was resold as simply "Wafflers" afterwards under the Smiths brand.A chunkier jam than we were expecting with large pieces of strawberry and although we expected it to be sweet it wasn’t cloying. In 1995 the Monster Munch brand was taken over by Walkers who relaunched them with a range of four flavours. Particularly in “proper real ale pubs”, says Massey, many owners, “wouldn’t dream of having anything other than a hand-cooked crisp”. On the same day, it was announced that the Roast Beef flavour would be reintroduced after a seven-year hiatus, replacing the Spicy flavour.

Plight of the pickled onion: how pub snacks went from simple

There’s Hot and Spicy, Pickled Onion and Roast Beef and you get Flamin’ Hot, Pickled Onion and Roast Beef with Monster Munch. However, unlike the 2002 version, it reverted back solely to turning a consumer's tongue blue, like with the 2001 version. Including lunchtime classics Wotsits, Quavers, French Fries and Squares and snack-time heroes Monster Munch, Bugles, Mix Ups and Poppables, Walkers Snacks are jam-packed with flavour and fun. In smaller independents, landlords often serve snacks that are popular or a fun USP, rather than hugely profitable.A 1949 article from the Economist summarised pub food as ‘crisps or a flaccid sardine on leathery toast’,” note the pub historians Jessica Boak and Ray Bailey, authors of 20th Century Pub. The shape known as a "monster paw" that is still used today has long been the subject of dispute over whether it represents a paw or, instead, the single eye and lashes of Yellow Monster (currently seen on Pickled Onion flavour packs). A good alternative to the brand - tasted almost identical to us - and perfect for making Cosmopolitans. Thriving, perhaps at a point where retro-modern British food and hipster notions of authenticity intersect, Massey has also noticed a significant revival of interest in ultra-traditional scratchings.
