Berkshire Trout

Introducing Berkshire Trout

Our trout are grown at our extensive, and low stocked, farm near Hungerford on the clear flowing waters of the river Dun with its spring source being only seven miles away. The trout are given as much space as they need to develop and grow as they would do in the wild, which provides an enhanced and delightful flavour.

Berkshire Trout & Slow Food

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do! Trout is a fresh water fish that is sustainably grown on our farm in Hungerford, Berkshire. In 2021 we set up a smokery at Hungerford Park and now produce cold and hot smoked trout as well as fresh fillets and a delicious pâté. Our trout are cured in salt and demerara sugar for twenty four hours before being smoked for eight hours over sustainable old whisky oak barrels which creates a deliciously flavoured smoked trout with a spectacular colour. As well as our market stalls at Hungerford and Marlow, we can deliver directly to your door in our fully home compostable packaging. The unique positioning of our farm and our sustainable farming methods combine together, to minimize our carbon footprint.

The British Trout Association

The British Trout Association (BTA) was set up in 1983 and represents around 80% of trout production in the United Kingdom. The Association has over 50 members including trout farmers, feed suppliers and a number of aqua-cultural academics. The association receives no direct funding from the Government, instead it is entry funded by its members making these farmers, suppliers and academics imperative to its success. We are proud that Berkshire Trout is a member of the BTA. The association aims to provide legislation and frameworks for trout farming practices in the UK whilst also promoting sustainability and encouraging ongoing research and development within the industry.
