Burgers and Bangers Success makes the press
It was good to see our members receive recognition for their success at our recent Beef Burger, Speciality Burger and Speciality Sausage evaluation. Many local media outlets are going with the stories in their areas. We hope this helps to raise the profile of local Scottish Craft Butchers and our dedication to the quality of our products and the standards of service in our communities. Many thanks to sponsors Dalziel Ltd for their invaluable support.
Food standards petition
We have been asked by to share this petition with our members”¦”¦
“Do you want the food you eat to continue to be produced to the world leading standards you have come to expect, even in the toughest global circumstances?
The UK Government has the opportunity right now to put into law rules that prevent food being imported to the UK which is produced in ways that would be illegal here
Here at Countryside we champion food, farming and rural life, supporting the farming families who are proud to produce our nation's tasty, high quality and affordable food. But they are only able to do this if they can compete fairly with the rest of world. Sign our food standards petition and ask the UK Government to ensure all food imports are produced to the same high standards as British farmers.”

More than 3,500 Scots have used the supportlocal.scot online directory to source Scotland's finest food and drink products during recent weeks of lockdown.
The website is a one-stop-shop for food-lovers to access nearly 300 local suppliers of all shapes and sizes; from brewing giants Williams Brothers in Glasgow, to Busta House Hotel on Shetland.
Created by industry body, Scotland Food & Drink, the supportlocal.scot platform aims to connect consumers directly with food and drink businesses.
Every Scottish region and every sub-section of the industry is represented, giving consumers a fantastic choice and the opportunity to sample new products or support their favourite brands.
The appetite of the Scottish public to support their local food and drink businesses has been clear to see since Coronavirus restrictions were introduced in March and businesses across the country have innovated to survive, none more so than the Independent butcher or farm shop who have serviced their local communities extremely well.
The directory really highlights the incredibly diverse and high-quality food and drink that Scotland has to offer.
It is extremely important that the Scottish public are made aware of local businesses and this one stop directory offers the solution to consumers. Listings are free, any help you require please contact
