Family Owned Quality Independent Butcher & Cafe

Who and what is McCaskie’s?

McCaskie’s is a high quality family butchers in Wemyss Bay, operating in our original location since 1935 on the beautiful west coast of Scotland. Until recently we were known as Mearns T McCaskie after the founder, and now McCaskie’s is run by the founder’s daughter Elizabeth, her son Nigel Ovens and his wife Helen (a farmer’s daughter). We are a 3rd generation award winning business, where all the products are made onsite in our Food Standards Scotland approved production facility directly behind and connected to our modern shop.

What sets us apart from all the other butchers and online butchers?

McCaskie’s is exclusively Scotch – we only use 100% certified Scotch beef, lamb and pork. All our beef is exclusively from native British and heritage breeds, renowned for their natural marbling and flavour. Our grass fed beef is 100% natural and sustainable from farms well known and respected for their high welfare and animal husbandry.

All butchery and production is done in our Food Standards approved facility (GB1220) under the watchful eye of owner and butcher Nigel Ovens.

All our products are hand cut to size, packed and labelled and delivered FRESH not FROZEN.

All meat products are made in house, with many products having won top awards for their quality and taste at renowned and respected competitions. Here are some of the key awards McCaskie’s has won:
