At Simon Howie Foods we hold ourselves to quality standards in the industry and only work with farmers that share our values. Farming practices and taste are intrinsically linked, so we demand our suppliers meet the highest animal welfare standards and rear superb animals.
In addition, we invest in our infrastructure, equipment and people. We recognise that each employee has a responsibility to ensure that the quality of products or services under their control meet our required standards at all times.
Whether it is a prime cut of beef bought from your local Simon Howie Butcher or a Simon Howie product bought from the supermarket, we guarantee the highest quality of meat that has been carefully prepared by our team of award-winning chefs and butchers.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and are delighted our customers agree.

It started with a flat tyre.
Simon stopped to help a stranger on the side of the road. He had no idea that the man he was helping was Colin Bussey, Head Chef at Gleneagles, or that this chance encounter would lead to Simon Howie’s very first supply contract with the iconic Scottish hotel.
What followed was a 35-year relationship and an important chapter in the story of Simon Howie Foods.
In the third film in our 40th anniversary series, Simon looks back at the unlikely meeting that changed the course of the business.

At 19, Simon Howie opened his first butcher’s shop.
But the foundations for what came next had been laid long before that, through his father, his grandfather and the generations who came before him.
In 1996, he put his own name above the door of the very shop where he’d started out as a 12 year old Saturday boy. It was a full circle moment and just one more chapter in a family story that’s been passed down for generations.
This month, @scotfooddrink is celebrating how #EveryBiteTellsAStory, so we thought we’d share one of our own, looking back at the people, places and moments that have shaped Simon Howie over the past 40 years.
