About
We are a true traditional smokery. We hand fillet every side, cure far longer with just salt and hang smoke in our brick kilns for over 24hrs using only whole oak logs. Since 1964. We don’t claim to be a traditional smokery, we are one.

Our social club has just spent several very enjoyable hours visiting this wonderful little gem, tucked away in the Sussex countryside. Despite a couple of pieces of modern machinery it was like exploring a little time capsule where traditional methods are still used to create the most delicious products. Nick, our friendly tour guide, took us for a walk through the smokery, where we not only learned about the history of Springs' but also saw how the hand filleting, curing, smoking, slicing and packing was done. It was a fascinating journey! Nick's enthusiasm and love for his job really shone through and besides his talk being very informative it was also peppered with anecdotes, which were very amusing!
After our interesting tour we sat down to have lunch in an area of the shop where there was a well thought out display of things made in the smokery and also some beautiful wooden items, made by a very talented local craftsmen. Anita had gone to a lot of trouble to prepare our food and set out our tables beautifully. It was a lovely setting for what turned out to be the most delicious and very filling lunch of bread, salad and a wide selection of all the smoked fish and cheese that they produced. Everyone in our group was really impressed and most bought things to take home with them. In fact, we have already booked another tour, later in the year, so other members of our group can also savor the wonderful experience that we had.
Thank you Nick and Anita for all you did to make our trip so enjoyable!

Took my Mum here as a birthday gift along with my girlfriend and 2 year old son. We loved it. Nick the manager loves his job, is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and has years of experience. He wants you to have a good time and understand the work involved in his products. The tour is something quite special, and what a result at the end you get to feast on the final products. I think this is a great experience and I know my Mum loved it. I can highly recommend doing this tour and tasting, I will certainly be telling my friends to sign up.

Fascinating insight into traditional oak smoked fish, meat, and cheese. Welcoming and informative staff. Tour was very interesting and well led by Nick with a good balance of facts and anecdotes to keep us amused. The taster lunch was excellent and generous in both type and quantity of food. My favourite was the hot smoked salmon, but all options were very good. Money well spent on the tour with lunch package. Nice local business with high standards produce.

Found the smokeries accidentally when we were driving on the South Downs. Bought one of the best smoked mackerels ever tried. It made for a perfect lunch with a great view at Devils Dyke. Ordered recently smoked mackerel when it was back in stock and salmon, they were delicious!

The best smoked salmon I've ever tried. The texture and flavour beats anything I've had before.
The enthusiasm, craft and care shown by Simon, Nick and the team can be tasted in everything they make. Thoroughly recommended.

A very interesting experience learning about the process and the passionate people who work there, topped off by a wonderful tasting board. Would buy a tour and tasting (or tour and lunch) as an unusual gift voucher for family or friends. Will be back to purchase some smoked cheese & salmon (also a great variety of other products)
