Edinburghs oldest butchers.

Andrew Mathieson moved his business into our existing premises in 1902, where he used to supply all the grand houses in the area, and the business was run by the Mathieson family until the retirement of Douglas, Andrews grandson in 2006.

At Mathiesons, we are dedicated to providing ethically sourced meat that reflects our commitment to quality and sustainability. We believe that people are being let down by modern supermarkets, and our aim is to provide you with quality, freshness, and value everyday. every customer deserves access to meat that is not only delicious but also produced with respect for animal welfare. Our meats are all sourced from independent farms and smallholdings that put animal welfare at the heart of their existence.

Our unique dry-aging process enhances the flavour and tenderness of our cuts, allowing you to experience the true taste of expertly reared meat. Additionally, we craft our own sausages, burgers, pies, sausage rolls, haggis and black pudding, blending our 100 year old traditional recipes, with a modern twist.

We know that sometimes visiting a butchers shop can sometimes be intimidating!! Our friendly, and knowledgeable team of Paul, Olly and Declan, are always available to assist and love a bit of chat! Whether you have questions about cuts, cooking times, ideas, meat preparation, , need guidance on the ordering process, we are here to help. Your experience is important to us, and we strive to ensure that you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
