ChalkStream® grows the finest English rainbow trout on the world famous Test and Itchen Rivers of Hampshire. Slow grown for 2 years in fast flowing pure chalk stream water, our trout are lean and athletic with a unique, clean taste.

ChalkStream® supplies large fresh trout to the catering industry through a network of select UK wholesalers. Outstanding hot and cold smoked trout is also available both wholesale and from our on-line shop.

“This product is amazing, ChalkStream® should be really proud”

Jamie Oliver

“Each winter, the rain falls high on the sheep-grazed downs then seeps into the chalk seam hundreds of feet below the ground. Filtered, purified and chilled, the water emerges months later to form such famous rivers as the Test and Itchen. The closest thing to heaven on earth for rearing trout.”

Simon Cooper - The Field (author of Life of a Chalkstream)

“There has been a trout revival recently, largely down to the trout-friendly chalkstreams we have in the UK, as well as the passion of producers such as ChalkStream®”

Yottam Ottolenghi - chef, restauranteur and food writer

“Not only do I love trout fishing on the Test but the added bonus is that I am able to buy delicious good sized ChalkStream® trout in quantity for our menus across the restaurants. It’s wonderful.”

Mark Hix - chef, restauranteur and fisherman

“Whether you’re in London needing a taste of the countryside, or eating native in the fields, one cannot feel well, nor love well, or sleep well without amazing food! and ChalkStream® trout is one of the very best ingredients you can get! Life is too short not to…..”
