There has been a butcher's shop on this site for over 60 years. Steven Bennett has maintained its good reputation, using traditional recipes for black pudding, haggis and sausages, while improvising with some new flavours, such as his excellent pork, lemon and fennel seed burgers or Irn-Bru and chilli sausages – an approach that has seen him win awards for his innovations. The acclaimed steak pie and haggis are also highly praised medal winners. Meat sold is bought at the Forfar Mart, with the beef hung for 24 days, and the bacon comes from Blairgowrie.
