This old-fashioned, family butcher has been in Strathaven since 1989 and son Scott Alexander now runs the busy shop on Common Green. Alexander, who is always happy to chat with customers about the provenance of his wares, sources the majority of his meat from local suppliers including beef from nearby Strathaven House and pork from Robertson’s Fine Foods in Ardrossan. The steak pie and steak and sausage pie are particularly popular.

Open since: 1989
