The Farm

Our decadent hand-cooked English potato crisps are planted and picked locally, then sliced, cooked, packed (and often devoured imminently) here at our very own family farm; Russell Smith Farms in East Anglia. The Russell Smith family  has  been farming potatoes since 1938 so we know our roosters from our russets – but from modest beginnings has grown a more stylish snack, a luxurious and decadent crisp to truly savour!

We understand the importance of traceability and sustainability, using accredited farming methods  and  championing sustainable agriculture to ensure culinary excellence.  Here at Russell Smith Farms, we strive to get the most out of our land whilst caring for the environment and beautiful pastures in which it lies. The family farm is a member of FWAG, LEAF,  the Soil Association and is signed up to the Government’s stewardship schemes. SAVOURSMITHS is also a member of LEAF.

What our clients have to say

Just a quick email to sing the praises of these outrageously delicious crisps. I am currently battling my way through my first trimester of pregnancy and these crisps are the only thing I’ve genuinely enjoyed in the last 7 weeks. I don't know what is so good about them, but they are just the right amount of saltiness to ward off my seemingly constant nausea followed by the tanginess of the vinegar. And the crispiness. So, so crispy and crunchy but thin?! Kettle chips are absolute rubbish in comparison.

Just excellent. Well done. I’ll be off to my local farm shop this afternoon to buy another bag!

In the summer I flew on a virgin flight and was introduced to your virgin Bloody Mary crisps. I won’t pull any punches, my husband (Steven) and I declared them the best crisps we’d ever tasted, bold statement I’m sure you’ll agree…

Good morning.
I’m a vegan living in Melbourne Australia and have recently discovered your SIMPLY AMAZING Truffle and Rosemary crisps and Desert Salt and Vinegar. Congrats on such awesome products - truly THE most delicious crisps I’ve ever eaten and being Scottish brought up in UK I have eaten a lot of crisps in my lifetime 😂😂.

Kindest Regards

Hi all at Savoursmiths,

Just to say thank you for your crisps. I have never felt the need to write to a manufacturer before but you deserve the praise. I am gradually working my way through your range since discovering them on a recent pub visit and I am loving every flavour I have tried so far, the quality and the excellent packaging are second to none. keep up the great work with your premium product.

Kind regards,

Denzil Reynolds (a long time crisp lover)

 

I just wanted to let your company know that you are doing a awesome job. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you,

My family loves Savoursmiths - this is the first thing we buy every time we visit London.
I found some online at Harvey Nichols!

Your Truffle and Rosemary crisps are the nicest crisps ever…..so indulgent!

Claire Lane, Customer

You have one seriously happy customer here, I’ve been buying your products for some years now and me and my family just love them. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making ours stomachs very happy.

Hello, we have just tried your desert salt crisps at the opening of the John barleycorn in Duxford and wanted to tell you they are the nicest salted crisp we have ever tried. A fabulous local business!

Thanks, Andrew & Jennie

I have just bought my first packet of your salted crisps from my local Booths here in Poulton le Fylde and had to write to say how delicious they were.

So light crisp and just the right amount of salt. So good I had to go and buy another packet. Perfect with my G&T! Have to hide them from the Grandkids though, far too good for them!

Regards - Margaret

Oh boy, what have you done? First, picture the scene: not a biscuit, piece of cake, chocolate or a crisp has passed my lips since January. Birthday treat from partner: a ticket to the ballet, including two glasses of champagne, ice cream and 'nibbles'. I expected the latter to be a small bowl of Walkers, but what appeared? Yep, a 100gm tin of Salt & Vinegar. As I didn't want to open them during Swan Lake, I clutched the tin to my bosom during the second half, clung on to them in the taxi home and lovingly presented them to my partner...who opened them... and I tried one...I repeat: Oh boy, what have you done? Sorry, but you've absolutely prevented me from ever again buying Walkers, Tyrrells, Kettle or Pringles (sorry for the swear words!).

Hi Savoursmiths,
The only time I get to enjoy your crisps is when I come down from Scotland to see family and the place we stay at stocks your crisps. Personally I think these are the best crisp around by far.

I bought 3 packets of your crisps at the Thriplow Daffodil festival on Saturday 22nd March. They are exceptional.

I recently tasted your fantastic crisps on a flight from Tunisia to Belfast. Salt & Vinegar flavour, specifically.

I was totally blown away by the quality and flavour. "Proper crisps", as I exclaimed to my partner.

My name is Max, I am 21 and a university student at Nottingham Trent university. Being a student I rarely deviate from my usual crisp/chip brand. Kettle chips being a strong favourite. BUT today my tastebuds have been blessed, by the greatest, flavour filled, perfectly crisped chips that are you very own Somerset Cheddar and Sahllot flavoured potato chips.

This is my first time ever composing an email to share my happiness with a company at their product. I cannot put it into words how much I enjoyed your product, I can’t wait to try the other flavours and solidify your brand as my all time favourite crisp/chip brand.

Best wishes and kind regards,

Max Hall

We first experienced your yummy crisps when buying some at Thriplow Daffodil Fair despite living only 12 miles from Thriplow. We love them.

We are now in Durness, the top of Northwest Scotland and found them again in a local independent shop 😊😊! Who would have thought. Just wanted to share with you as we are completely converted 🥰

Kind regards

I’m on a flight from the UK to the US & I can’t get enough of the bloody mary chips. Is there any way I can get some sent home? I’ve looked everywhere and it says they’re exclusive to the airline. please don’t gatekeep your gorgeous chips xoxo.

Kelby Schoenfelder

The Wagyu beef are my favourites ever. They get better the more you eat.
As in a collection of crisps they are the best brand for me, so great great find.

Hi, I’ve just got off a virgin flight where I ploughed myself through packets of your wonderful Bloody Mary flavoured crisps. I even managed to snaffle some into my hand luggage. Since my return I have hunted for these at your stockists.

Kate Eugeni

I have to say these are the best crisps I have tasted, well done on producing them and in our local county, may you go from strength to strength.

Peter Johnson

Greetings!
My name is Henry, I live in the Dallas, Texas (USA) and my 5 year old daughter, Mary Grace, is in LOVE with her "pink chips". We LOVE Savoursmiths!

I recently bought a few packets of crisps here in the USA from New York. I am from South East London and have lived and worked here in the USA for the past 22 years. This is the first time I have tested these delicious crisps. I must admit we ate the crisps so fast we forgot to take a Pic!

The crisps have the following:
The right crunch.
The right flavor.
The right seasoning.
The right freshness.
Above all, being non GMO, Vegan and gluten-free!

Hello!

I recently tried a bag of your crisps for the very first time, and I can honestly say they are the most delicious, flavoursome crisps I have ever tried!

Salt & vinegar are my absolute, all time, favourite flavour but after tasting your Desert Salt & Vinegar, these are now my new favourites and they beat a standard bag of Walkers, any day of the week! Whilst thoroughly enjoying my new found favourite crisps, I came across one in the shape of a heart, so I thought I would share my delight and have attached a photo of the heart shaped one!

Many thanks for such an amazingly tasty snack!

Jen

Recently bought these at my local independent shop in Bramley.

I've never emailed a crisp company before and probably never will again but these crisp are definitely worth a couple of minutes of my time.

Superb quality and flavour to the very last crunchy crumb; A modern day and improved Brannigans beef and mustard and I can't wait to try the other flavours.

Keep up the good work.

Paul Bell

Just purchased some of your crisps from coop. They are excellent ! I'm now a customer.

I love crisps, these are now my go to.

Nick Roberts

Discovered your desert salt 100g tin crisps at Milton Keynes theatre.
They are a perfect snack.

Delicious crisps with equally beautiful packaging.

Demi Solomou

I wasn’t sure how else to convey my happiness with your crisps. You’ve brought back the old school & I love it.
I remember making homemade crisps with my grandparents years ago & what you have made is pure class… I love them!!
I have fond memories of my grandparents & all they used to teach me from painting, playing music, ‘cooking’ & generally being creative. What you’ve created is a sublime snack (which I’ve nearly finished typing this) & I hope you stay strong… absolutely outstanding!!

Kind regards

Lee

It’s great to know how seriously you take product quality. That shines through with the product which really is the best on the market in my opinion!

Jonny Connor

I just wanted to reach out and say how much I absolutely love your Savoursmiths products. Seriously, those potato crisps are next level! The flavours are so unique and delicious, it's clear you put a lot of care into making them. My snack game has definitely improved since finding your brand. Keep up the amazing work!

P.S. If you ever have any spare samples or Savoursmiths merch lying around, I wouldn't say no!
Kind Regards,

Tom Ruff

Dear Mike and Collette, I hope this email finds you both well and surrounded by an entirely reasonable amount of crisps (though I suspect “reasonable” isn’t really part of the Savoursmiths philosophy).
I just wanted to say… I am officially and slightly concerningly obsessed with your crisps. I’m a nurse, so I’m used to high-pressure situations, emotional moments, and the occasional chaos, but nothing has prepared me for the emotional support I now receive from a bag of your crisps.
They are dangerously good. The kind of good that makes you sit down “just for a few” and then suddenly question your life choices as you realise the bag is empty and you have become one with the crumbs.
I’d like to formally thank your flavour scientists, your potato whisperers, and whoever decided that restraint was optional in your seasoning department. Please understand I am now at risk of recommending your crisps to patients purely as a form of morale therapy. (Don’t worry, I won’t… probably.)
Anyway, just wanted to send appreciation from one slightly crispy-obsessed nurse who now measures happiness in handfuls.

Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s wildly unfair to other crisps.
