Brown & Forrest Smokery

Brown & Forrest Smokery Brown & Forrest is an small artisan Smokery set up in 1981 producing high quality, low volume smoked produce.

Artisan Smokehouse, specialising in small batch production, producing high quality smoked produce - Shop, Takeaway treats, Mail Order delivery service & Wholesale. Our products range from your traditional smoked salmon, smoked eel, smoked trout & haddock to smoked meat such as chicken, duck, sausages and lamb. We have a shop & restaurant located on Bowdens Farm in Hambridge, Somerset but also a t

hriving mail order & wholesale business. We have approximately 10,000 private mail order customers who live all across the UK - ordering by telephone 01458 250875 and online at www.brownandforrest.co.uk. Our wholesale business also supplies shops, hotels & restaurants in the UK including Fortnum & Mason, The Hand & Flowers, Brooks Club, The Gilbert Scott & The Hawksmoor Group. The smokery uses traditional wood fuelled brick kilns and relies not on temperature gages and timers but the skills & experience of our two mastersmokers! The flavour you get from smoking directly over a wood fire cannot in our opinion be replicated by modern stainless steal smokers.

Good morning. I hope this finds you in good order and with a sunshine blessed Sunday ahead?

We are all a tad weary here but with a large dollop of contentment in amongst it following our Smokery Open Day yesterday. We saw so many folk some old friends and some visiting us for the first time. Having the opportunity to show people what we do and chat to them was a real pleasure.

Here at Pattisson Towers we are a full house again with Nancy returned from Uni for the summer. Her siblings appear to have all fallen into line and what she might refer to as the “natural order of things” is re-established. As for me I am in no doubt whatsoever about where I stand in the aforementioned order. I have almost reached the somewhat pathetic state of checking anything I say out loud in the presence of my children with Mrs P before I dare say anything! Clearly Mrs P still rules the roost and her word is law. However, judging by the amount of raised eyebrows, nudging, looks of disdain and outright laughter that follow nearly every utterance I make I’m not convinced that my beloved is not in league with the Loons and have formed a pact against me.

With it being Nancys birthday tomorrow I am feeling genuinely old as we will now be parents of a 20 year old. The only solace I can find is that on the basis that except for Stan and I the rest are off to Cardiff to see Take That in their latest incarnation. There must still be hope for me being a cool down with the kids dad as the remaining three Gary, Mark and Howard are all older than me!

Anyway lets hope so as next Sunday is Father’s Day and on that basis I thought I better remind you that we can offer and deliver to any door all sorts of perfect gifts for those menfolk in your lives that might need a gastronomic hug.

We have our Father’s Day Box itself including Ribeye Steak, smoked salmon, creamy stilton and a bottle of cider. Or our June Box or maybe one of our Ploughman’s hampers everything is available and can be delivered to any door of your choosing in time for the big day next Sunday. You can order online at www.brownsndforrest.co.uk or by calling Amber in the office on 01458 250875 from 9am tomorrow morning.

I must away as a pre birthday Sunday lunch celebration has been ordered and I am in the chair apparently?

I hope you have a great Sunday.

My very best regards,

Jess

Good Morning from a rather blustery and chilly Somerset.

I promise you it really is the 9th of June and not March!

However never fear, they tell me on good authority that by the weekend we will be back to blue skies and summer sun which will be perfect for our SMOKERY OPEN DAY. It is from 10am-4pm on Saturday, where we will have all our wares for you to taste and decide which your favourites are. Then with a complementary glass of wine in hand you can have a tour of the smokery itself and see how we do what we do before refuelling in the restaurant with breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. We would love to see you!

This week also marks the end of the Asparagus season so make the most of it and why not order one of our delicious Asparagus boxes for delivery to your fridge or to some well deserving chum who needs a gastronomic hug? A reminder of what is in it is below

ASPARAGUS BOX
2 x bundles of fresh asparagus
200g smoked streaky bacon
100g cold smoked salmon
1 x hot smoked duck breast

All delivered to any door of your choosing for £40.

Everything can be ordered online at www.brownandforrest.co.uk or by calling Amber in the office to either book a table for open day or place an order on 01458 250875.

I hope the week progresses well for you.

My very best regards

Jess

Good morning, I write from Cornwall from where I am returning later today but I have just had a FaceTime call with Bertie, Mrs P and Stan who are in charge at The Smokery and have been extending the cold smokers, emptying them of Brie, stilton, halloumi and feta and reloading them with beautiful sides of salmon. They have sent me a video and images and I have given them my approval! Mrs P did suggest that I could not have sounded more patronising if I had tried so unless I was in any doubt at all I have been firmly put back in my place and assured once again that everything runs beautifully smoothly without me and as Stan, and a good many before him, pointed out “probably better”!

We have had a busy week at The Smokery and are fully gearing up for our SMOKERY OPEN DAY which is on this Saturday coming! If you can make it you will be in for a treat as we are having tastings of all our products where Mrs P and Amber will greet you with a free glass of wine and answer any questions you may have like to ask. Tim and I will then give guided tours of the smokers themselves all day from 10am until 4pm and the shop will be loaded to the gunnels for you then to shop until to you drop. The café will be serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea throughout and we would love to see as many of you as can make it.

It may surprise you to know that two weeks today is apparently Father’s Day and in order to celebrate all us permanently exhausted and harassed chaps we have come up with a FATHERS DAY GIFT BOX it’s a little bit different to our usual offerings and we think/hope it will be a perfect gift for any Fathers, Stepfathers, Grandfathers or indeed Godfathers that you may think deserve such a treat. Its contains:-

FATHERS DAY BOX
150g Vertical cut cold smoked salmon
1x Beautiful West Country Ribeye Steak
1 x Bottle of Burrow Hill cider
1 x 220g piece of hand cut creamy stilton

All of this will be delivered to any door of your choosing for just £45

You can order this and indeed all of our goodies online at www.brownandforrest.co.uk or by calling Amber in the office from 9am tomorrow morning on 01458 250875.

I hope you have a restful day ahead.

My very best regards,

Jess

Good Morning and welcome to the middle of the week!
They tell me that we are in for a bit of a soaking over the next few days? But we are determined to be jolly and sunny in spirit here at least, and anyway, as anyone will tell you “we need the rain”.

Our Smokery Open Day is filling up fast but we do still have a few tables left so why not come and see us and sample all our goodies, with a free glass of wine in hand and have a tour of the Smokery itself and see how we do what we do?
It’s on Saturday June the 13th between 10am and 3pm. And we would love to see you.

With it being Wednesday it means that you only have 24 hours or so left to order whatever you would like to feast on over this coming weekend. Our new JUNE BOX is already proving to be a brilliant gift and indeed fridge filler and might be just the tonic you need on a wet weekend?

You can order online at www.brownandforrest.co.uk or by calling Amber in the office on 01458 250875.

I hope you have a great rest of your week.

My very best regards

Jess
