The Kennet Crayfish Company

Berkshire-based purveyors of the Finest UK Chalk Stream Crayfish.

Trapped by hand exclusively along the River Kennet these crayfish are from the gin-clear, nutrient rich waters of some of the worlds only chalk streams. This gives the crayfish their unique and delicious taste.

From humble beginnings The Kennet Crayfish Company has grown swiftly into the largest supplier of wild caught UK signal crayfish in this country. Their aim as a company is to promote (via delicious food-based products) an increased awareness of the plight of British waterways to highlight their protection for future generations.
