Smokehouse Tour
Dates: Saturday 20 March
Saturday 13 November
Venue: Pinney’s of Orford



This half day event will take us on a behind the scenes tour of Pinney’s at Butley Creek, where oysters have been cultivated for centuries and Richard Pinney started smoking fish in the 1950s. We’ll learn about how all the fish are first salted or brined, and then hung in the smokehouse where they are then flavoured and preserved by smoke that is produced by gently smouldering whole oak logs in a specially designed smokebox.
We’ll return to Pinney’s own restaurant, The Butley Orford Oyesterage in Orford’s pretty market square where we’ll have a hands-on demonstration of how to carve a whole salmon. Finally we’ll enjoy a relaxing seafood lunch.
