Private Butchery

Nice to Meat You

Here at Downfield Farm Abattoir, we are delighted to offer quality private butchery services.  Also, we pay top attention to detail and use every possible part of the animal to ensure you get the best value for money. So, there is less waste and impact on the environment. As such, if you’re looking for butchery services then look no further! We are custom meat cutters in Scotland and process cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, wild & farmed deer. All you need to do is let us know how you would like everything butchered and packed. And if you have your own logo, we will try our best to put this on your label.  So whether the meat is for your own use or your farm shop we can meet all your needs!

Here at Downfield Farm our family run business and our team of experts are no strangers to hard work. Being born and bred farmers we set up our Scottish abattoir and animal processing plant to raise the standards of Scottish meat. Interestingly, our journey began delivering a Field to Fork Scottish Venison experience. So we expanded and decided to offer private meat processing for a larger range of animals. And this is when we started to offer our popular private butchery service.

Also, we must point out, our custom meat processing plant is licensed by Food Standards Scotland, QMS Assured and BRCGS certificated. As such, our qualified team of butchers are passionate about quality meat and putting out a quality product for customers to eat themselves or sell. Furthermore, our license allows us to mince meat, make burgers, sausages, and other meat preparations and we have a license to cure meat.
