Ritchie's of Rothesay is one of the oldest & finest smokehouses in Scotland. It has been in continuous use since 1888 and its quality was royally recognized when its products graced the Balmoral breakfast table during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Ritchie's products, including its famous smoked Atlantic salmon, is cured in a secret recipe perfected by the Ritchie Family, then smoked over oak shavings. No artificial colours or flavourings are needed. In keeping with tradition, the smoked salmon is sliced by hand emphasising its rich and varied texture.

We've used Ritchies many times for a range of produce - standard stock items as well as their specials - and always been happy with the quality received. During lockdown they stepped up their free delivery service despite most orders being for relatively small amounts of money, and we won't forget this. Exceptional service.
