点评: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!

有趣的旅行结束后,我们在商店的一个区域坐下来吃午餐,那里精心展示了烟熏炉中制作的物品,还有一些漂亮的木制物品,都是由当地非常有才华的工匠制作的。安妮塔煞费苦心地为我们准备食物,并把桌子布置得很漂亮。这是一个可爱的环境,结果是最美味、最丰盛的午餐,包括面包、沙拉以及他们生产的各种熏鱼和奶酪。我们小组中的每个人都留下了深刻的印象,大多数人都买了东西带回家。事实上,我们已经预订了今年晚些时候的另一次旅行,因此我们团队的其他成员也可以享受我们所拥有的美妙体验。
感谢尼克和安妮塔为让我们的旅行如此愉快所做的一切!
