This is a really fantastic butchers in the heart of the Victorian village of Aboyne. I regularly…read moreuse Troup's for special cuts of meat or for their wonderful, local sausages and bacon. I recently asked for John's advice for selecting and cooking a piece of pork (I'm not really a very good cook) and between him and Allen (another member of the Troup Team) it was prepared and cooked surprisingly well ! It's an old-school village butchers shop with many of the customers shopping there for many, may years. Troup's also sells a selection of vegetables (displayed outside the shop), home-made pies and pates. Easy parking too with the old station car parking area opposite the shop. A really lovely, friendly place in a very nice Royal Deeside village. Five stars !

Wonderful butcher in an accessible area of town…read more Paul Smith is open on a Saturday which is great if you work during the week. There is plenty of parking at the back. Inside you are welcomed by a small shop and butcher counter and lots of fresh veg outside. The staff are always friendly (even if you turn up 2 minutes before they close because you have forgotten the bacon for Sunday breakfast!) The shop sells local produce, Kelly of Cults breads and cakes and other veggies, chutneys and produce from the area. The butcher counter sells good meat and the staff will advise you on the best cuts or ways to cook the meat you are buying. This is a lovely local butcher and worth a visit.

Visited here a couple of weeks ago whilst on holiday in the area. As we were self catering we…read morethought we'd find a local butcher and get some good scottish fayre. Macdonald Brothers did not disappoint. The choice and quality they had on dispay was huge for what was a realatively small shop. We decided on venison burgers and fillet steak - it was maybe a bit pricey but it was the real deal. The venison burgers were very tasty and filling and the fillet steak was very thick and tasted excellent. The service was first class - the standard of hygien displayed was first class and the butcher who served us was so helpful and friendly. A sham it is so far from home - maybe next time I'll bring some things home for the freezer

I love this Butcher!!! This butcher is a nice and friendly…read moreone.The staff are great and everything. The meat they have is really good and there Steak Pies are to die for. The only bad thing i would say is that the size is a bit small for the business on occasions when i drive by i do see a couple of people standing outside waiting to be served but if they dont want to expand then thats ok. Its a great business so they can have it the way they like it! I would totally recommend using this butcher if your in the area

A smaller Tesco We…read morewere staying in Johnshaven for two nights and needed some groceries (meat, veggies, salad etc.) This was the closest branch around. It is a smaller Tesco (no Krispy Kreme Donuts....), but we ended up getting what we needed. Good Lamb Chops for just 4£, Scottish Dry-Aged steak for 8£, some mussels, salad, veggies. And - as usual - good and reasonable priced wine. Quality of the products was good as usual. Another good visit at Tesco, we always like it, never let us down.

I am now Northampton resident, but NEVER miss a chance to get my stock in when I'm home!! Just wish they had an online website that you could order from them. but I suppose that's all part of the charm of a family run butchers! If you're in the area and you like good wholesome food, don't pass up the chance to make a visit, you wont be disappointed!!!
