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.

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 !

If I had missed the butcher I'd make a vegetarian meal,and I'm a real carninivore,I just would not consider supermarket meat. Great shop,great value,great service,buckie you are lucky to have it!

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 live in Aberdeen and regularly drive out to Foveran to The Store…read more This is a farm shop selling meat (beef and lamb) produced in their own farm, they also buy in fruit and veg, storecupboard ingredients and chicken (free range) from other local suppliers to sell in the shop. The meat really is first class, the sausages are very good quality and they very often do a '3 for 2' deal to save a few pennies. The ladies in the shop are always so helpful and willing to give you advice on how to cook the produce. They also produce very good quality ready meals, pies, lasagnes and much more these are very tasty. I would highly recommend a drive out here but if it is a little out of your way they are often at the Farmers Market on Belmont Street, and I believe they have a shop in Edinburgh.
