Founded by the late John Bain in 2002 as a follow-up to his world-renowned game dealership Bain of Tarves, the family-run Aberdeenshire Larder continues in the same tradition, supplying quality meat and game to both locals and a number of Scotland’s leading chefs, hotels and restaurants. Aberdeenshire-bred beef, pork and lamb, as well as wild game from the Buchan countryside are the core of the business, along with poultry, puddings, cooked meats and a selection of smoked produce. Recent developments at the Ellon site have seen the creation of a purpose-built shop with hot food facilities, as well as an increased display area, which has allowed them to offer more exotic meats such as kangaroo, crocodile and springbok steaks.
