Emmett's Store-Shop, Cafe and Smokehouse

It is almost impossible to find a good selection of crystallised fruits in the shops and on the internet …. but fortunately I found that Emmetts sold a 400gm box and were able to post it at very short notice and in time for Christmas!!

Looking further at their web site there are so many other delicious and interesting items that are available for posting …. very tempting! ….. if only they were closer to home!

This is a great traditional produce supplier. They stock a wide range of produce. They specialise in cured meats, Olives, Almonds, Cheeses, Figs, Hobet, Jams, Wine from a variety of European countries as well as local products including highly regarded Suffolk hams. Mail order is available online for those of us who can't visit. This shop is a real gem.

I bought my Christmas ham from here and other goods too. It was beautiful and the customer service was good
I will recommend them and buy again

Met the owner at a Spanish food event about 20 years ago and bought oil and vinegars. Tootling away in the van one day we both wondered where we knew Peasenhall from. We then both yelled "EMMETTS" and stopped for supplies. The strawberry tree honey is still talked about. Now we stop whenever in the area. The date and lime chutney is wildly addictive and pairs with cheese and of course the wonderful beech smoked ham. The black bacon and ham is unique and had a taste of its own. Try getting the black streaky and wrapping around dried apricots or prunes (soak in brandy with star anise and chilli) for a winter treat. The oak honey is rich and a small amount added to yoghurt and granola adds a subtle sweetness.

Emmett's store, cafe and courtyard is marvellous place to visit. They have been running the cafe from 1820 which is nearly 200yrs. They have some excellent ham, bacon which are sourced locally and don't use any nitrates. They also have a great selection of Cheese and Olives. The store also have artisan chocolates, savoury products and biscuits. There is a garden cafe in the backyard to sit and enjoy their freshly prepared salads along with other items on the menu. If you visiting Peasenhall, a quaint little village, it is well worth a visit.

Best best cold meats ever .
Very tasty shop simply the best in 😎😎 Suffolk .

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast of ham, egg, toast and bacon with banana chutney, and a cup of tea on their special winter offer all for £2.18. Plus, a complimentary small glass of red wine to chase the cold away on a snowy day. Can't argue with that!

World class ham. The Suffolk Black is always well received by my family. 'The best ham in the world' is all they will say! Mark really knows his stuff and is always willing to give some delicious recipe suggestions with your purchase.

Very good quality produce from a small company who have been successful since 1820.
Not cheap but worth the extra money.

Very nice shop, make there own bacon and ham which is the primary selling point but also do a range of cheeses and other charcuterie. Have plenty of money because theres lots of things to buy but it's not cheap, but very nice.

We love Emmett's, it's a complete one off foodie destination, a smart deli but more than that, it has a smokehouse so has delicious smoked meats and fish, lots of unusual Spanish imports, chocolates, vinegars and oils. The owner is very charming and knowledgeable too , there are always delicious samples out to try and there's also a little coffee shop/ cafe. A pretty unique shop, the only downside, pricey too, but quality is top notch.

Its worth paying a little more for Bacon that does not contain nitrates and is far more interesting than the average supermarket smoked/unsmoked. I made the mistake of grilling it. Dry fry it as per the advice from the shop and it is a treat.

I also bought some spanish cured meats. Again much better that the supermarket in that the tastes are more distinct and they taste like they should rather than just another bit of cured ham.

The manchego with rosemary and honey was a treat.

We had a superb Spanish holiday "in the back garden" this weekend thanks to emmetts.

Fab deli with massive selection of charcuterie, cheese, olives, wine......I could go on forever. And ever. Go and have a look. (It's not cheap. And its first quality stuff. That doesn't come cheap. If you want cheap, go to Aldi)

We've been buying wine and food from Mark for what feels like a lifetime. When life was 'normal' we'd spend many a happy Saturday lunchtime eating in the Café. I trust Mark's taste completely, from powerful, delicious Riojas to exquisite hams, rustic bacons and his fabulous Almonds Emmett's never disappoints. Off the beaten track for most, this absolute gem is on our doorstep. Perfect!

Lovely hot chocolate in the garden today & an excellent beach recommendation (Covehithe). Shop has an amazing range of fresh food & cooked breakfast smelled amazing - a little gem on a long drive.

Lovely old fashioned store with many different things.
They smoke their own meats.
Very helpful and friendly staff.
Worth a visit.

Quick cafe service. Good quality bread toasted into a tasty sandwich. The shop is amazing. It's expensive but then it's very niche. Note they sell nitrite free bacon.

My favourite Suffolk black bacon, Valencia almond, olives, cheeses, sherry, Spanish delicacy deli… as loved by James Martin too.

Very friendly staff. We visited due to an emergency and while the shop wasn't open they came out to let us in and help. Taken the opportunity to buy some of their delicious cakes, chocolate and wine.

Always a pleasure to visit this wonderful store which has been trading for 200 years! Superb hams and black bacon. We'll be back next year.
