Kennet Crayfish Company has established the largest state-of-the art crayfish processing plant in Britain at Thatcham. With the necessary licences to catch and process crayfish from the River Kennet, the company sells wild-trapped crayfish, sold chilled, both par-cooked and fully cooked. In January 2025, the company launched their Kennet Crayfish Gin which has already won a silver medal at the World Gin Awards 2025 and a bronze medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC)
