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!

One word Fantastic

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.

I had been looking forward to visiting the shop and cafe on our holiday. When we went in for breakfast so that we could sample what they had, when we were told that they do not have a cafe. But they can make us a drink and a sandwich which we declined as we wanted to sit down properly and enjoy a good meal. This is false advertising and should be addressed, we were disappointed and decided not to go back.

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

We were a party of 10 including young children. The owner made us a wonderful lunch of sandwiches with Emmett's ham/chutney etc which we ate in the garden. He could not have been more welcoming, and especially to the young children - impressive at any time but on the day he was single handed and running the store as well.

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.

Whilst the produce may be great the owner offers the most appalling customer service with regards to an online order that was late. Rest assured we will never shop here again.. such a shame.

Whilst on the way to visit to a friend we thought it would be nice to pick up some local gifts as a thank you. We came across Emmett's store and it looked ideal with lots of lovely items. The welcome and the service was warm, which is not surprising considering the cost of the items. For example a small bag of chocolate almond clusters was £16.95! But by the time everything had been put through the till, resulting in a total of £51 for a few bags of sweets and two bottles of apple juice, it felt rude to start putting things back and time was not on our side and others were waiting to pay. In fairness the prices were displayed in small stickers attached to the bottom of the items but we had not seen these until we left the shop. As we drove away we joked about how we had happened on the most expensive shop in Suffolk and were prepared to put the experience behind us but on opening the packet 30 minutes later we discovered the chocolate almonds had been exposed to excessive heat and suffered from fat bloom (white discolouration), which was embarrassing after already having given them as a gift. Needless to say we will not be getting caught by this 'tourist trap' again although it is a shame not to support local businesses so we can only advise others to check the sticker prices very carefully before committing to the purchase.*Update*The owner of the store reached out to us and his response and resolution was excellent and we are most impressed with the customer service.

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.

I am sure the meats Emmett's do are very nice but the meats and everything else they do are really expensive. In the shop everywhere is spotless and everything is displayed really well and the staff are really helpful and friendly. It's not overly obvious that they have a garden at the back where you can have a tea or coffee and a cake. But they sell their own Earl Grey tea which again is expensive but wanting to give them some custom I thought I would have a drink in the garden to try it out, and they just served up Twinnings.
