Richard's interest and idea for Butler Country Estates was brought to life when some friends were having a dinner party and Richard offered to let them have some of his homemade, freshly caught trout pate. He was a little taken aback when a few days later, people that had been at the dinner party started calling and asking if they could have some too. The rest as they say is history and Butler Country Estates was born. The Butler Country Estates smokery lies in the heart of Hampshire and is based in Winchester, a few minutes from the River Test, Itchen and Meon, three of the world’s finest nutrient rich chalk streams. The estate has long based its culinary skills on mixing the traditions and knowledge of the Edwardian era, whilst introducing some contemporary ideas, complimenting and ensuring that exquisite, freshly caught trout experience. Our smoked trout pâté is richly indulgent, creamy, and chunky and comes in five different varieties. We hope you will enjoy the pâtés as much as we do.
