Delighted owner Douglas Graham said they were "thrilled" to be judged so highly by the industry and their peers.

And Douglas said they would undoubtedly get a lot of feedback from their customers now that they have a national winner on their shelves.
Former footballer Douglas has been involved in the butchery business for over 40 years, taking over ownership of the Kilmacolm shop 22 years ago.
A player with Morton and trial list for Arsenal in the 80s, Douglas is delighted to have finally secured a major title!
