I am a passionate foodie and when I retired and moved to the Aveyron, I began to experiment with smoking foods. I had always had an interest but had never had the time to develop my passion. In speaking to the majority of English ex pats in my area, the one item - no in fact two items that they missed from Blighty - were smoked bacon and a pint of English bitter. Well, I could not do anything about the beer but I could certainly do something about the Bacon. Five years on and we have organically grown our small business and now produce over 30 different products supplying to an array of private clients and restaurants alike throughout the locality.

"I can honestly say that this is the best bacon that we have ever tasted."
Don't just take our word for it - these are just a small selection of comments from our regular clients
"Just finished one of the best Spaghetti
Carbonara's using your Smoked Back Bacon - it was absolutely delicious - thank you so much!
Hi Austyn
I love the pate. Who needs hot buttered toast? I could just eat it off a spoon!
Congratulations on bringing fabulous British-style bacon to France. I practically wept when I saw it was proper back bacon - with the rind on!
Just finished a great summer meal of fresh salad, french bread, garlic butter and your smoked duck ( oh yes also wine). Fantastic!!!! I did not think anything could top your smoked salmon but I was wrong.
Hi Austyn,
That has to be the best bacon I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of bacon, so it’s no idle statement!).
I’ve just made canapés with the chicken liver pate for guests and it’s delicious.
I’ll be back with some friends.
We opened your smoked salmon yesterday, couldn't wait any longer to try it! It was super delicious! Eaten with freshly cooked potatoes from our garden, life doesn't get much better than that!
Thank you, you're a life saver! We love living here in France but were so missing our bacon fix. Now that's sorted we really are in heaven!
