We live in Essex next to Hanningfield Reservoir near Chelmsford, . We very much enjoy fishing on the Reservoir. We also love the taste of smoked foods and the fantastic flavours that traditional smoking can deliver. In 2012 we went on a food smoking course in the Lake District to learn how to smoke food at home. We built our own smoker and successfully started smoking our own foods. As we started to experiment with different foods the idea of starting our own business incorporating our new found passion was born. In January 2013 we were awarded a place on the Essex Innovation Program by Essex County Council. This program enables Essex based businesses to prosper and grow by providing fully funded business support during the start up phase. This encouraged us to move forward and get our business off the ground. We attended a renowned commercial food smoking course and as a result we have gained the expertise required to prepare and smoke food professionally. Come and visit us Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm. We sell directly from the smokehouse. We offer Group Visits for up to 12 people on selected days. Open Days with free tasters are on every first Saturday of the month 10am - 4pm. At weekends find us at local Farmers Markets and Food Festivals. Please see our website for details.
