Taste Of The Lakes

Taste of the Lakes is a family-run business deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of Cumbria, where their passion for excellence shines through in every product. Originally named after the family farm, which has been tended by generations, the company was founded with a singular mission: to offer quality farm products to local communities. 

From these humble beginnings, they have evolved into one of the leading producers of fine Smoked Salmon in the United Kingdom. However, their commitment to providing high-quality, locally sourced foods remains at the heart of the operations. In 2008, they established Taste of the Lakes as a way to honour original goals and continue their legacy of delivering exceptional products crafted with passion and care.
