Finest Food Suppliers

We use only the finest local food producers.

Suppliers

Braehead

Founded in 1988 on the Craufurdland Castle Estate, Kilmarnock, Braehead Foods has become synonymous with fine food and game. Managing Director Craig Stevenson purchased the company in 1999 with the aim of making high quality foods more readily available to chefs.

Braehead Foods Ltd is based in Kilmarnock, Scotland and supplies high quality game and speciality produce to delicatessens, pubs and restaurants across the UK. Braehead Foods sources game from over 100 estates across Scotland, including venison, pheasant, partridge, grouse and rabbit. It is the only supplier in Scotland of Gressingham Duck.


 

Campbell Bros

Over the years, Campbell Brothers have strived to enhance their reputation as a professional catering butcher to the Scottish Catering & Hospitality Industry, providing a service to caterers of all kinds. Operating from just one shop in 60 Queen Street, Edinburgh at the outset in 1910, ninety years later they now operate from a more spacious and modern EC approved cutting plant situated in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian and maintain their traditional values for providing personal service and quality produce, adapting their products and services to meet the individual needs of their clientele.

Today, they are proud to have succeeded in establishing their professional butchery service at the forefront of the Scottish butchery Industry, and have become renowned as one of Scotland's most experienced and respected catering butchers.


Direct Foods

Since 1998 Direct Fruit & Veg have built up a reputation for quality, service and value dealing with the best restaurants and most dedicated chefs. Direct Fruit & Veg are a company selling top quality fruit & veg to the catering trade throughout Glasgow and Edinburgh.



Direct Seafood
Edinburgh based Direct Seafood's provide the freshest fish and seafood sourced locally in Scotland and from around the world. Being a national supplier with strong regional roots, they include Michelin-starred restaurants, hotels and pubs, retail outlets and contract caterers among their customers.



 Matthew Algie

FAIRTRADE certified contracts guarantee coffee farmers a minimum price for their beans, so their costs of production are covered. The farmers are also paid a premium, which enables them to invest in their communities to improve living and working conditions.

ORGANIC certification means that coffee farmers avoid unnecessary chemicals and pesticides - good news for plant and animal life. Organic certification also means more money to the farmers, over and above the Fairtrade price.


THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE seal means that farms look after the tropical forests where they live and work. Wildlife is protected, rivers kept clean and natural resources untouched.



Richardsons Oils

Richardson Oils is a family run business based in Coatbridge, just off the M8 Motorway. Richardson Oils have been trading for over 15 years and started initially as a waste oil collection service. Sales of fresh oil, dry store food products and catering disposables have increasingly formed the major part of their business.




Simon Howie

The Howie family has a long and cherished association with quality meat. Earlier generations farmed in Perthshire, in the heart of rural Scotland, its hills and glens renowned for the breeding and rearing of the finest beef and lamb. It was logical for a family so steeped in the best traditions of quality Scotch beef to move into the business of wholesaling, not only of beef but a range of other fine Scottish Meats, and from there into retailing.

Simon Howie began his first butchery business from the Perthshire village of Dunning, where it quickly established an outstanding reputation for supplying meat to restaurants and hotels. A state of the art factory was built to keep up with demand from which it continues to supply butchery and chef prepared products to chefs, restaurants and many of the UK's leading supermarkets. Although Simon Howie Butchers is now a much bigger operation, traditional craft skills are still practised, quite literally taking the concept of a local butcher into the supermarket arena.

Chefs Blog

March Blog

Its was a busy week for me last week even though I was on holiday from my day job (head chef at the cricklewood).

Wednesday was my usual deadline stressed day as my weekly article in the Sunday Mail is due in and believe it or not it takes me a fair bit of time, I was also involved in the Right at Home exhibition at the SECC where I was handing samples of fabulous food kindly donated by the suppliers - (thanks to those who helped out).

I'd also like to thank Andy and Anton from Hummingbird on Bath street who were on hand to create some fantastic cocktails to accompany my culinary efforts... we even managed to get on Real Radio and had some random French Martini banter.

So down to business.... This week's recipe for you is for my delicious Lasagne and those of you local to Bothwell will know that I lay down the gauntlet to the local Italian eateries by claiming to make the best lasagne in Bothwell, to this date no reply therefore I have no choice but to state claim to this title and to ensure the recipe isn't kept like grannies secret here it is so you have a go at making it at home, any questions drop me an e-mail; michaelkilkie@sundaymail.co.uk
