Open Day 2009- a full smokehouse!

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Fish Island open day on Saturday.

Over 500 customers and local residents joined us at our HQ to browse stalls from Neal’s Yard Dairy, Montgomery Mutton, Musk’s Sausages, Paul Wayne Gregory, The Country Victualler, Emmett’s of Peasenhall, H Forman & Son and Forman & Field. Talks and demonstrations from Lance Forman, our own speedy slicer Darren Matson, Rob from Neal’s Yard and chocolatier Paul Wayne Gregory were really well received so thanks also to all of them. Our new restaurant catered for more diners than ever before which was fabulous to see, a sign of things to come we hope.

We’re still wading through entries for the ‘guess the weight of the salmon’ competition but will announce the winner very soon and will be in touch with them directly to arrange delivery of their prize. Congratulations of course to artists Lucas and Faith Clarke for their lovely colouring in, worthy winners of that competition indeed.

Hopefully we’ll host lots more similar events in the future. If you attended (or even if not) and you have any comments or suggestions please add them to the comments below. We’d love to hear from you as always.
