Curry Smugglers Launches “Margate Mix”

Kent-based snack brand Curry Smugglers has announced the launch of its most exciting innovation yet: Margate Mix collab with Margate Mushrooms, a bold new snack that combines classic South Asian crunch with the added benefit of Lion’s Mane mushrooms.

Inspired by the vibrant, creative energy of Margate, the new mix blends spiced noodles, crunchy lentils, peanuts and signature seasoning with Lion’s Mane mushrooms — an ingredient increasingly celebrated for its natural nootropic and wellness properties.

This makes Margate Mix more than just a snack; it’s a modern twist on traditional savoury snacking designed for flavour seekers and curious food explorers alike.

“Margate has played a huge part in our journey,” said co-founder Steve. “We wanted to create something that celebrates the town’s creativity and energy. Working with a local grower and adding Lion’s Mane felt like the perfect way to bring a fresh, forward-thinking edge to a nostalgic snack format.”

Lion’s Mane mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional diets and are now gaining popularity among consumers looking for functional ingredients in everyday foods. By incorporating it into a classic mix, Curry Smugglers aims to make adventurous snacking both exciting and accessible.

Like the rest of the range, Margate Mix is packaged in the brand’s distinctive premium cans, designed to stand out on shelves and keep snacks fresher for longer while offering ultimate portability.

The launch marks another step forward for the fast-growing Kent startup on a mission to bring authentic South Asian snacks into the mainstream with modern branding and bold flavour.

Margate Mix will be available online and via selected independent retailers from now
