We source the very best of Scottish meats and fresh local produce with a focus on local sourcing, sustainability, and low food miles. We want to congratulate all of the other finalists in this year’s awards and wish them success in the finals”.

Using traditional methods at their on-farm butchery, they take care and attention in all aspects of their family business to offer a “farm to fork” offering with genuine provenance at the heart of what they do.
