Our History & Road Ahead
The AN& hospitality business has a rich heritage dating back over 70 years when the grandfather of our owners, Nanak Singh, opened a small shop in 1947 called ‘Anand Refreshments’ selling hot brewed chai and local savoury snacks to provide for his family of seven in post-partition India, in Patiala, Punjab, still there to this day.
The legacy continued into the 1990s when his children, now living in London, started a catering business from their garage. They served the same savoury snacks, now fused with Western-influenced menus, to local offices. Fast-forward to 2024, this business evolved into AN& to honour the family’s rich history.
From here, our aim is to become one of the leading brands within the food and beverage retail sector serving a wide range of customers who value high-quality food with a ‘Twist on Taste’, in London’s busiest transport hubs and beyond.
