The Scotch Beef Shop may look expensive, but there is a reason for that; each morsel of the juiciest meat you’re likely to find for miles around can be found here. It is the only independent butchers in the area so it relies on regular, as well as new, customers for a majority of its trade. They must be doing something right, as it’s regularly jam packed, especially at weekends — people even queue out the door happy to wait for what they are about to receive. My dad introduced me to their beef meatballs in tomato sauce and I was hooked. I was pleased to discover they do lamb ones in a spicier sauce, which are also extremely tasty. The sausages are pretty divine as well and the beef joints are guaranteed to go down nicely. If you are wondering which meat to buy, just ask and they will let you try!

The Scotch Beef Shop dedicates itself to selling Aberdeen Angus Beef. All their beef is fully certified(as displayed on their walls) so you can be assured that you are getting the genuine produce. As well as beef, they sell other prime cuts of meat such as lamb, pork and chicken. With experienced and friendly staff to help, there is a professional approach to their trade. I would recommend their award-winning sausages; you have to try them to believe why they deserved the award. Very good quality indeed and some of the best lean sausages I have tasted. This is most definitely a top range butchers with a clean and fresh appearance(not grotty like some) and pleasantly laid out.

The Scotch Beef Shop specialise in Aberdeen Angus Beef, but it’s not just for the cow lovers. They have a great range of lamb, chicken, free range eggs, pork and the rest, all sourced from high-quality Scottish companies. Let’s get down to brass tacks here; the sausages. Black pudding, pork, streaky bacon, brown sauce and some secret ingredients… yep, they sell all these in ONE sausage. The Breakfast-all-in-one. Think of that explosion of flavour between two pieces of toasted granary bread. Mmm. The minted lamb grills and chinese barbeque burgers would be fab for the next barbie too. They even have thick rich beef gravy, which comes in glass jars, lining the counter so forget Bisto, if you’re buying your beef from here, go the whole hog(/cow?) and get the grandest gravy to go with it!

The Scotch Beef Shop is a butchers specialising in Aberdeen Angus Beef, Scottish pork, lamb and Balmoral venison along with free range chickens, eggs and many other products. The owners have over 40 years of experience between them and a very professional background, they still work in the shop today. They make their own sausages(including gluten-free) and black pudding, cure our own bacon, cooked meats and supply burgers and other marinated meats. Butchers are funny places, everyone seems to know eveyone, and here is no exception. Don’t be surprised if you’re asked«how’s your aunty jane these days?»! The shop is quite a large and very clean space, full of locals getting their favourite animal produce. The only downfall: they don’t sell Scottish square sausage which seems impossible to find outside of Scotland. I thought I’d find it in here but no such luck.
