The Countryman Inn, Shipley has created it’s very own cold smoker, enabling us to produce some extra flavoursome dishes for all of our customers. We have already been smoking Chicken, Local Cod and Mussels and will be looking into adding more to that in the near future.

The smoking is done by covering smouldering oak chippings with Rosemary twigs inside a cast-iron barrel. This barrel has a vented chimney which forces the ‘cold’ smoke into a separate chamber where the food is kept.  The food is then gently preserved with the aromatic smoke giving it a really distinct flavour.

The Countryman Cold Smoker has enabled us to produce some brilliant new dishes such as smoke seafood risotto and smoked chicken tagine.

If you want to try these out, or simply enjoy a relaxing meal in a tradional sussex country pub, then call us on 01403 741 383 or book a table online.
