Stenhousemuir butcher R Brown & Son gained gold medals for both their venison and juniper and dry cure bacon burgers, while Thomas Johnston’s Cow Wynd branch in Falkirk struck gold with its low fat beef burger and silver at its Brightons branch for the firm’s low fat steak burger.

Both firms are reckoned to be scoring with customers who appreciate exciting new product lines from local butchers with a track record of industry-approved success.
