“The steak pies are very popular and obviously at this time of year we are inundated with orders. I’m delighted to be Steak Pie Champion; it really is a great honour. ”
Businesswoman and butcher Ann, from Strathaven, Lanarkshire, has been running her own butcher shop in the Perthshire village of Scone for just over two years but she has been in the butcher business for more than 20 years – working with her father boning beef in Glasgow before she even left school.
“Although building up a business is a lot of hard work, I really enjoy what I do and work hard to bring the best quality of meat to my customers. I love working in the village of Scone.”
“I’ve always been in the business as I worked with my father on the farms. I do really enjoy being a butcher and while I know it’s quite a different job for a woman, it’s something I had always wanted to do, ” she said.
And Douglas Sword of sponsors William Sword bakers said that Wm. Sword Ltd were delighted to continue their association with the awards to celebrate the best of Scottish produce and the best in Scottish craftsmanship and innovation.
He added: “It is very heartening to see the breadth and depth of talent represented by these awards. We are sure it bodes well for the future of an industry which we are proud to be a part of.”
But Ann is taking all this success in her stride. As the orders mount up, and her award-winning pies fly off the shelves, it’s still business as usual for the Scone butcher shop.
