   Donnington Trout Farm
 
Set in beautiful Cotswold countryside and housed in a fine 18th century stone barn, Donnington Trout Farm is an interesting place for all the family to visit. The trout farm, which has been running for over 25 years, has a large hatchery for the rearing of young rainbow and brown trout, a selection of which are on display. Visitors can feed the larger fish and see them rise in a writhing mass to catch the food.

The farm's water come from clear cool Cotswold springs, which means that our pink-fleshed trout taste delicious. Our farm shop is kept stocked with trout to suit every occasion, from starter-sized half pounders to dinner party sized 'salmon-trout'. Customers can select from thousands of live trout, knowing that their fish can be really fresh.

A speciality of the farm is delicately flavoured smoked trout produced on the premises. 'Hot smoked' trout are small whole fish that have been cooked in the smoking process. They can be served whole or used in a multitude of delicious dishes. 'Cold smoked' trout are fillets of larger trout that have been smoked in the same way as smoked salmon. The result is a true delicacy at a reasonable price. We also produce a very popular smoked trout paté.

Next to the farm is a small secluded lake which is open for fly fishing all year. Day and half-day tickets are available and even a novice won't leave empty handed - a two fish bag is guaranteed on a day ticket. The lake is stocked regularly with rainbow and brown trout. Equipment hire is available and tuition can be arranged. Please telephone for bookings.
