  • A Scottish butcher has been crowned the best in the UK at the annual Butcher's Shop of the Year Awards

Davidsons Specialist Butchers, in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, was awarded the title in a ceremony at The Landmark Hotel in London.

The butchers has been operating since 2004, and focuses on high quality premium end meat and poultry.

John Davidson, owner of the shop, said, “It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ve wanted this since before I even had a butcher’s shop.

“The win coincides with the launch of our online shop, so we are going to take the publicity forward and tell people they can now get the best meat in the UK delivered to their door. Being named best butcher in the UK is a great marketing tool.”

Ed Bedington, editor of the Meat Trades Journal, which organised the awards, said, “Davidsons is a deserving winner and a superb business, so it’s great to see John and his team getting some great recognition.

“The standards of entry into this competition are always high and this year was no exception. I’d like to congratulate all our finalists and winners.”
