A little more about us...

More about our Smoked Meats & Charcuterie

We hand-produce our smoked meats in small batches using traditional methods, here at our small smokehouse in Suffolk. We start with the highest quality ingredients and smoke them gently over maple wood, giving them a light, delicate smokey flavour that complements the food rather than overpowering it. We want you to taste the meat itself first, with the smoke adding another layer of flavour rather than taking over.

We're particularly proud of the recognition our smoked meats have received over the years. Our smoked beef fillet has achieved the coveted Three-Star Great Taste Award — the highest Great Taste accolade — alongside several other awards. Our smoked duck breast has also won Double Gold at the Great Taste Awards and the Taste of Excellence category at the Pig & Poultry Awards, making it one of our most celebrated and best-selling products.

Alongside our smoked duck and beef fillet, you'll find smoked bacon, prosciutto, Finocchiona salami and Spianata Calabra salami, all smoked by us here at the smokehouse. We also have a few carefully chosen favourites including Brindisa Chorizo Picante, traditional pork pâté and our baby chorizo and salami beer sticks, giving you plenty of choice for a generous charcuterie board, entertaining or simply enjoying at home.

And if you're looking for a gift, many of our smoked meats and charcuterie feature in our meat and charcuterie hampers and gift boxes, which we make and pack by hand here at the smokehouse. They're a lovely way to share some of the food we're proudest of, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want to send someone something rather better than the usual bottle of wine.

What makes The Artisan Smokehouse special

We're Tim & Gill, and we run a small family smokehouse in East Suffolk. Many of the smoked foods and other treats we sell are made here by us, in small batches, while the rest are carefully chosen from producers and suppliers whose products we genuinely rate.

We don't simply fill our shop with anything that looks the part. We taste, test and select the things we'd be happy to serve ourselves, from artisan cheeses and crackers to oils, preserves, chocolate and other delicious treats. It's a simple approach, but one that means we can stand behind everything we sell.

Beautiful hampers, made and packed by us

Many of our products find their way into the food hampers we make and pack here at the smokehouse. We make many of the smoked foods ourselves, then combine them with cheeses, crackers, preserves, snacks, sweets and other treats we've chosen to complement them.

Whether you're looking for a gift for a birthday, thank you, celebration or simply because someone deserves something lovely, our hampers are designed to be opened, shared and enjoyed. And because we make so much of the food ourselves, they're rather more personal than a box of products simply picked from a catalogue.

A few awards & achievements we're proud of

Over the years, we've been lucky enough to receive recognition from a range of respected food and business awards. Our smoked foods have picked up multiple Great Taste Awards, alongside recognition from the Pig & Poultry Awards, Suffolk Food & Drink Awards, British Foodies Meat Champion and others.

We've also been recognised for the business itself, including being a finalist in the Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards. We're particularly proud of the mix of national and regional recognition we've received — and, of course, the occasional 'Best in Show' rosette! You can see more of our awards and achievements here.

For full details, including restrictions and delivery to the Scottish Highlands and islands, please see our Delivery & Packaging Information page here.

Packaging & recycling

We take care with how we package your order, as well as what's inside it. Wherever possible, we use recyclable or reusable packaging and avoid unnecessary plastic.

Orders are sent in recyclable cardboard boxes, sealed with paper parcel tape and packed with paper void fill where needed. Where appropriate, we also reuse suitable outer packaging rather than sending it straight to waste.

Perishable products are packed with ice packs to help keep them cool during delivery. Our ice packs contain distilled water and can be reused for picnics and lunch boxes, or emptied and recycled.

For our hampers, we use new, recyclable hamper boxes and natural kiln-dried wood wool to protect the contents and help your gift arrive looking its best.
