Marrbury Smokehouse & Channel 4 “Dolce Vito Dream Restaurant”

MARRBURY SMOKEHOUSE FEATURES ON CHANNEL 4 “DOLCE VITO DREAM RESTAURANT”
Over the years here at Marrbury we have had several occasions when reporters, TV news teams and photographers etc have called upon us.
None however, have been quite as exciting as the experience we have had with Vito Cataffo during his filming of “Dolce Vito Dream Restaurant”.
The six week series starts on Channel 4, at 8.30pm on Thursday 13th August.
Vito and his team came to us some time ago having scoured the UK far and wide to find the very best smoked salmon. Having visited so many smokehouses, they had just about given up when they landed here on our doorstep!
Vito did indeed find not only the UK’s finest smoked salmon, but in his words “The best salmon in the world!”
Follow restauranteur and entrepreneur Vito Cataffo as he sets out on an epic quest, staking his personal fortune and his hard won reputation on a deep-set personal belief: that British food is the best in the world.
The series follows Vito as he finds a failing Italian restaurant, rescues and renovates it, and then sets about transforming it into a shrine to British food.
We are immensley honoured that it was here, in the hills of Galloway, that Vito found his perfect smoked salmon. We had a fantastic time here in our tiny corner of the globe, working with Vito and his film crew. We don’t think our smokehouse has ever been so alive with activity!
Vito not only worked with us in our smokehouse, he dared to join us in the mucky quicksands of our “Net & Coble” salmon fishings on the River Cree. Now if only Channel 4 would show the footage of the various camera crew and producers stuck in the quicksands that would make for interesting TV viewing!
As for Vito’s “Dream Restaurant” opening night….ah ha…you will just have to watch the series for the low down on that one!
For your taste of what Vito says is the “Best Salmon in the World”, visit Marrbury Smokehouse.
