Visited Pitlochry as staying in nearby Dunkeld. So able to visit here for their Stornoway Black Pudding which is delicious, been unable to find a better black pudding anywhere else. Friendly welcome from staff, hand sanitisers, and limited customers in shop rule. :)

Picked up pies while out for a walk in the town. 2 steak & 2 venison. What can I say apart from they are the best pies I’ve tasted! Plenty of meat in all of them and enough gravy to keep them moist. Would totally recommend a visit👌🏻

We placed an order a week ago for delivery today (18th), it was a very easy site to navigate for ordering and the communication from Rory was prompt with the confirmation.
The delivery was on time and in perfect condition, the meat is supurb and was well packed and exactly what I would have picked in the shop, everything was supplied as ordered and travelled perfectly.
Will definatly use this great butcher again, would have 6 stars if possible !

Firstly, No relation to our family that I know of. So far we have tried the in house made venison burgers, and the venison links sausages, both left my wife and I speechless and wanting more. The best we have tasted so far. So this will now be a regular stop off point as we travel north / south to Ullapool.

Spent some time at Blair Atholl where we bought some Macdonald butcher pies from the local Spar- best I have tasted in years and I come from Dundee which has a reputation for good pies. So good we bought some at their shop on the way home.

Popped in when the Coop was closed.
Great selection of fresh food, ingredients and meat.
Bought some beautiful chicken supremes which went down a treat.
Also had some sausages which were fantastic for breakfast.

I had the cheek to ask if they sold 'Stornoway' black pudding. The lovely sales girl was not miffed and said they did but next delivery not due until Wednesday. She suggested ' would I like to try their own black pudding,' which of course I did, my partner and I were delighted - as its better than Stornoway black pudding. I got their own burgers which were amazing also.
My only regret is I did not buy more, but next time we are visiting Pitlochry I'll be making sure i do.
