We know our suppliers

It’s what makes the difference

We are a traditional butcher and one of the few in Scotland that buy in whole carcasses and butcher in house. The majority of our beef, lamb and pork are locally sourced to the highest standard so that only the best is sold in our shop. In an age of convenience and stack them high and sell them cheap, we remain committed to knowing where our produce comes from, and selecting only the best. That doesn’t make us as expensive as you might think though – we’re often cheaper than the supermarkets!

Some questions you may have

What is the best way for me to place an order?

You can place an order by phoning the shop on 01463 798303, or by e-mailing us on sales@aiqualitybutchers.com

Using the email option will help to reduce the demand on the phoneline and make this more available for those who don’t have email access.

What we need to place an order

We require a list of what you’d like to order along with your name, address and phone number. Our accounts team will be in touch to arrange payment once an order has been delivered.

What measures are being taken in store to adhere to the updated Government guidelines.

We’re currently asking that only two customers come into the shop at any given time to ensure a safe distance is kept for the safety of both customers and staff.

Orders can also be placed online or over the phone for free local delivery. Delivery is also available to other locations throughout the Highlands.

Is there a limit on what I can order?

At the moment we aren’t asking customers to make any specific limitations on their orders – only that you order what you may need for yourself and allow us to ensure that everybody has an equal opportunity to be supplied.

Do you offer ready meals?

We do, these are freshly prepared in Culloden – and are suitable for reheating or freezing at home.

What are your opening hours?

We’re currently operating slightly different opening times in store, with the shop open from 8am to 5pm on Monday to Friday and 9am -2pm on Saturday.
Orders can be placed via sales@aiqualitybutchers.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
We’re always closed on a Sunday, as we’re particularly committed to giving our team some time off at the weekend, especially during these busy times.
