Berkshire Trout

Exciting news – our Heritage Honey Roasted Smoked Trout was awarded two out of three stars at The Great Taste Awards 2024! 

“This is an extraordinary premium product with the perfect balance of sweetness, smoke, fat and salt to deliver a flavour profile that is as delicate as it is complex” said the judges. “The texture is simply perfect. A very special thing indeed.”

We’re immensely proud of our Honey Roasted Smoked Trout, our team and all the trout products we have developed over the past few years.

We are looking forward to the Hungerford Food & Artisan Market next Sunday 11 August. Do pop by to say hello and taste our samples.

West Berkshire Injury Clinic

Our focus at this month’s Wellbeing Corner at the Hungerford Food & Artisan Market this Sunday 11 August is medical tattoos.
 
Local tattoo artist Carrie Buckley specialises in tattoos on prosthetics and medical tattoos to cover up unsightly scars giving people back a sense of identity and individuality after a breast removal or bad burn for instance. 
 
It is important that we demystify these issues so people can have open conversations about things that have impacted them and still do.
 
We will be providing an area where you can have a private conversation with Carrie if needed.
 
Happy to have a chat about most things even if you just want to come and say hello!

Hungerford Coin & Stamp Centre

As you all know, we have been keen to re-open our original shop at 35a High Street Hungerford which was violently ram-raided on New Year’s Eve
 
It beggars belief that, after over seven months, West Berkshire Council has yet to send someone round to inspect so that building work can commence. It’s not just my business that suffers from the Council’s lacklustre performance: my landlord has not received any rental income throughout this period while the building has been uninhabitable.
