About Pot Noodle
Pot Noodle is Britain's favourite instant noodle brand, satisfying cravings for quick, tasty meals since Golden Wonder launched the iconic product in 1977. Inspired by the Japanese instant noodle phenomenon pioneered by Momofuku Ando, Pot Noodle became a British cultural icon—over 175 million pots are produced annually at the factory in Croespenmaen, Wales, equating to five pots eaten every second. The range spans classic flavours like Chicken & Mushroom, Beef & Tomato and Original Curry to more adventurous options like the fiery Bombay Bad Boy (vegetarian and vegan-friendly with its hot curry sauce and chilli sachet), tangy Sweet & Sour, creamy Chicken Korma and sweet Sticky Rib. King Pots offer larger portions for bigger appetites. The brand has evolved through multiple owners—from Golden Wonder to Best Foods (1995), then Unilever (2000), who retained Pot Noodle when selling Golden Wonder to Tayto in 2006. Unilever has driven innovation including the microwave GTi variant (the first Pot Noodle with real meat), Pot Noodle Fusions, Lost The Pot Noodles and Pot Pasta ranges. Salt levels were reduced by 50% in the 2006 relaunch. As part of Unilever's sustainability commitment, roughly 80% of popular flavours are switching from plastic to paper pots. The brand continues to evolve whilst maintaining its position as the go-to quick meal for students, workers and anyone craving instant noodle satisfaction.
