In the landscapes of Etne, Skakke Røykeri (smokehouse) invites you to experience norwegian food culture in its most authentic form—where tradition, craftsmanship, and storytelling come together around the fire.
From April to September, small groups of up to 15 guests are welcomed for outdoor experiences that bring you closer to the roots of local life. Here, the focus is on traditional methods of smoking fish and wild game, combined with tastings of locally produced delicacies and stories that connect each flavor to norwegian history and culture. Set in natural surroundings, these moments are informal, social, and grounded in a genuine connection to place and people.
Beyond these intimate experiences, Skakke Smokehouse offers tailor-made culinary events and chef services across Norway. Whether hosted in collaboration with Olalia Mountain Lodge or Grals Cabin in Etne, at your own chosen location, or out in nature, each event is shaped around the setting and the occasion. From fjords and mountains to forests and open landscapes, the team brings both expertise and atmosphere wherever the experience takes place.
Food is at the heart of everything. Every dish is prepared from scratch using high-quality, seasonal ingredients—sourced as locally as possible. Menus are designed individually, whether for a relaxed lunch, a multi-course gourmet dinner, a celebration, or a corporate gathering. The experience can be further enriched with Norwegian cider tastings, paired with local cheeses and cured meats, as well as storytelling that adds depth and context to each bite.
In addition to dining, Skakke Smokehouse creates social and engaging moments through guided nature walks, interactive food-based team activities, and cultural storytelling. Talks on Norwegian food traditions are also available in both English and Norwegian, offering insight into a culinary heritage shaped by nature, seasons, and time.
