"Richard Muirhead's tiny smokehouse in the grounds of Brougham Hall is a local treasure. Most of the ingredients come from within Cumbria. The smoked salmon is superb, some of the best I have tasted".

We Win Gold Again at The Great Taste Awards 2007
Now in its 14th year, the Great Taste Awards has gained widespread recognition among the countrys retailers and consumers and is now seen as the benchmark for fine food in the UK. Those products fortunate enough to receive an award cannot only claim to be of the finest quality, but prove it too. All entries undergo rigorous tests by a specially selected panel of experts, including leading chefs, buyers, food critics and deli owners. But the Great Taste Awards is more than just a competition; its an accreditation scheme. Products bearing the logo have been independently proven to be of origin, quality and excellence. So by our foods achieving gold standard, you can be certain that they have done so on merit.
