We kicked off our tournament in May with 8 groups packed with 4 iconic Co-op products all battling it out for member votes in the hope of reaching the final 4.
In our first semi-final match-up, Co-op Irresistible Sea Salt & Chardonnay Wine Vinegar Crisps delivered the crunch and fried off Co-op Irresistible Tomato, Mozzarella & Cheddar Croquetas to claim 64% of members’ votes. Which of our set piece specialists do you want them to meet in the final? Pizza or cake? You decide.
Restaurant quality made for relaxed summer evening get-togethers.
Perfect for sharing. The centrepiece of your summer celebrations.
