PUBLIC TOURS

Tasting platter included

 Meet the makers and hear the story of our smokehouse directly from a member of the experienced and tight-knit team who produce exquisite smoked salmon and seafood day in, day out.

 Supplemented with film footage and slide show photography this talking tour will take you through the key stages and skills of sourcing, curing and smoking as well as a potted history of our smokehouse. We will show you the smoke house itself and by the end of the exchange you’ll have a good sense of the why we choose to use such a traditional method and how it affects the quality of our food.

 After the tour, you will be able to enjoy a handsome platter of delicious smoked food – here on our premises, or as a picnic.

 Please note that because we are a working smoke house, we are unable to offer impromptu or unscheduled tours, and would ask that you make a reservation online.
