"We had a terrible time. The salmon is salty, the experience was over priced, the staff were disengaged and rude. Do NOT recommend. It was especially galling as I had organized this as a special for my colleagues."

An outstanding tour of a fourth generation smoked salmon family business . The tour was hosted by Lance Foreman whose enthusiasm for his business was evident for all to see . The pre tour presentation was given extra “flavour”by revealing some of the trials and tribulations encountered when having to move the existing premises to make way for the London olympics stadium . The introduction was followed by a tour of the factory and a personal demonstration of how to smoke and carve smoke salmon by Darren who was worth the tour fee on his own . This was then followed by a tasting platter of the various salmon alternatives ,each plate arranged identically with an explanation of each dish explain...
For a unique birthday present, I treated my son to a tour of Forman Field in East London. We had an amazing time. The tour of the processing area was educational and enjoyable. The level of hands-on experience, expertise, and attention to detail that goes into their Smoked Salmon is impressive. As part of the tour, we were treated to a salmon tasting lunch. The presentation of the fish was exquisite, and Lance Forman provided us with information about each type of salmon before we indulged in our meal at their charming restaurant. I don't usually write reviews, but this family-owned business and their fantastic staff deserve recognition. The memories of the day will stay with us for years to...
We went on Friday for the Forman’s tour. This is a must when living or visiting London. We were welcomed by Lloyd, Claire and their wonderful team, instantly making us feel welcome. We enjoyed coffee in the restaurant over looking the river. Lance Foreman then gave a talk, which was very interesting, intriguing and funny. Downstairs to the factory to see Darren world class salmon slicing skills. He could get a world record for his banter too, very funny indeed. We finished with a tasting plate of quite simply the best smoked salmon in the world!!!! I can’t recommend the tour enough, it’s amazing. And if you can’t get to the tour order some smoked Salomon online you will not be disappointed....
We had booked a tour and found our way through the rain to the smokery to be warmly welcomed by Claire and were guided to the dining hall to listen to the most interesting talk about the history of the company and the various processes which are all done by hand before donning white coats hair and shoe protectors. We were then invited to descend to the factory floor and allowed to take pictures before settling down to watch the very jovial, funny and expertly Darren explaining and demonstrating all there was to know about the Salmon, the salting drying smoking or curing processes. Also very informative and well done. A truly memorable experience. Reserve uma mesa agora
A fantastic experience! We used a Buyagift voucher for this tour and the booking process was simple. The tour was both interesting and informative, and the lunch consisted of 9 types of delicious cured salmon served with bread. We highly recommend this tour; we spent about 3 hours there and it's only a 20-minute walk from Stratford on the Liz line (note that Stratford International is not accessible with a travel card as it's zoneless, but this was not an issue for us).
Had a great few hours on the H Forman smoke salmon tour. A very interesting talk from the current owner Lance Forman, we then changed into hairnets and white protective coats and made our way to watch a fabulous demonstration on how to preserve and carve a Salmon. We headed back to the restaurant where 7 different types of Salmon were served for lunch. The Salmon was delightful. Had a wonderful day expertly organised by Claire from H Forman. Definitely worth a visit
We went for the talk and the tour of the smokehouse at the weekend. Lance Foreman was a most entertaining speaker. Our hearts sank though when we went down to the factory for the fish demonstration, but we had no need to fear, as Darren was an absolute comedian. We then followed with the salmon tasting, and the obligatory glass of champagne. It was a wonderful day out and I can't recommend it more highly.
What a great time spent at Forman's Smokery! Started with very interesting talk by Lance Forman on it's history, followed by Darren showing us how salmon is smoked and then carving a side of smoked salmon. He should be on the stage with his personality and dexterity ! Followed by a tasting platter served in the restaurant which was delicious! Thanks to them both, to Lloyd and all the staff super day !
