LUNCH TIME TASTING TOUR & TALK 

Open to the public, please book online.

Meet the makers over lunch 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 experience you’ll have a good sense of the why we've developed such a traditional method and how it enhances the quality of our food.

The key attraction of the tour is lunch which includes handsome platters of delicious smoked food, shared at a communal table in the convivial setting of the Tasting Room.

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