Tayto Tours
About
Tayto Castle in Tandragee, County Armagh offers an engaging glimpse into the world of Ireland’s iconic crisp snack, the Tayto. Since 1956 the plant has produced a wide range of flavours—from classic cheese & onion to beef & onion—and remains the largest snack‑producing factory for the British market. Guided tours walk visitors through the production line, from potato mash to crisp coating, giving a fascinating look at the engineering and technology behind each bite. At the tasting station guests can sample freshly made crisps, while the on‑site museum brings the mascot Mr Tayto to life for an extra splash of nostalgia. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun outing, a food enthusiast curious about snack manufacturing, or a history lover fascinated by industrial heritage, Tayto Castle promises an informative and memorable experience.
