Forman’s makes its big screen debut next week with the release of Papadopoulos & Sons, a family comedy charting the fall and rise of a taramasalata baron filmed in part at our Fish Island HQ! The film features our factory, offices and hospitality venue above our factory where an awards dinner is hosted. See below for how to book discounted tickets and a special offer on our own handmade taramasalata to celebrate the launch of the film.
Following his ruin in the latest banking crisis, a self-made taramasalata millionaire reluctantly reunites with his estranged, freewheeling brother to re-open the abandoned fish and chip shop they shared in their youth. The film has already won the Audience Favourite Award at both the Palm Springs and Thessaloniki Film Festivals.

We’re delighted to be featured on Simon Hulstone’s new menu for BA 1st and Club class flights. Our smoked salmon is included in a tartare with pickled radishes and cucumber and an elderflower dressing.
Watch video of the popup restaurant launch of the new menu here:
And for more detail on the fabulous food turn to top blogger Eat Like a Girl for her review:
For a few days last autumn our Fish Island yard became the furthest outpost of a huge Coca Cola TV ad production shoot for their London 2012 campaign. The centrepiece of ‘Move to the Beat’ is a track composed by dance music producer Mark Ronson using samples from the sounds of the sports of 5 Olympic hopefuls.
They shipped in a pint-sized (Coke-can-sized?) Glastonbury festival of staging, props, sound and lighting and filled it with a rentacrowd of a thousand local revellers. It was really quite something. See below for the full video and watch this space for more fun on Forman’s Fish Island yard… currently the subject of much planning for summer 2012.

We feature in the latest episode of BBC2′s The Fixer, a show in which the former ‘Hotel Inspector’ Alex Polizzi parachutes in to save the day for struggling family businesses. No, not Forman’s in need of saving just yet but Norfolk’s Denver Windmill, the last working windmill in the county. They have an awful lot worth saving - a great heritage story, wonderful location with a cafe and breadmaking school on site and most importantly wonderful flour and bread made with it.
We were called on to give advice on how they might improve their hampers to give them a way to reach more customers and broaden the appeal of their produce. The team from The Fixer visited Forman & Field to see our own heritage food business, how we produce our trademark smoked salmon and to get a class in making and selling luxury hampers. The thing that’s important to us in a hamper is that the quality of the food is the star, it’s not about introducing novelties and gimmicky gift products. Denver mill certainly seem to be adopting that approach from what we can see with hampers leading on their own baked goods and produce that is unique to them.

We received a visit last week from a government minister announcing more support for uk food producers trying to get a foothold in the export market. Some great footage of our smokery and an interview with Mr Forman included.
BBC News visited us today to talk about the role food exports can play in boosting the economy. If only London Cure Smoked Salmon could be as well known as Parma Ham or Scotch Whisky… one day!
Great footage of our smokery covering almost the whole process – traditional hand slicing skills, salt and oak smoke.
