 The Dorset Smokery: In April 1996, the Dorset Smokery moved to new premises at Hurn Court Farm, which is situated in beautiful countryside on the edge of the New Forest in east Dorset. The farm buildings (built about 110 years ago) were refurbished to their original splendour and the inside constructed to meet our requirements, the new legislation and any foreseeable EU directives regarding food processing. The operation is second to none in the whole of Wessex, if not the UK.
We also have a delicatessen showroom on-site of approximately 120 square metres, available for tastings, etc. It has a wide and varied range of speciality and exotic food products and ingredients from around the world in addition to what we produce. It is run by The Club Gourmet for its members. The goods are also available through our mail order and web sites.
In August 2004 with the development of our pates and sausages we became The Dorset Smokeries and Charcuteries.
We excel in the traditional smoking of fish, meat, poultry and game and also in air drying and in the production of artisan pates and sausages. We have an excellent reputation for quality gained through our dedicated and talented work force. Our skills have maintained the true traditions whilst embracing the rigours of modern day requirements. The Dorset Smokeries & Charcuteries: Collectively offer the full range of traditional and state-of-the-art smoking and cooking facilities, from burning sawdust and seaweed, to wood chip, to friction generated smoke from wooden blocks. This capability enables us to produce our extensive range of traditionally smoked and cured products using time-honoured processes and recipes, to modern day cooking and smoking techniques and their delights. Our processes, whether traditional or state-of-the-art, use no artificial colourings, dyes or flavourings. Our constant research into new and old techniques, new products and striving to improve existing ones, is reflected in the numerous awards bestowed on us and is indicative of our ongoing commitment to innovation and quality.
