Celebrating Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight 2021

Here at Thomas Johnson, we have been serving the locals of Central Scotland the highest-quality produce for over 160 years. So, what better way to mark #ScottishFoodAndDrinkFortnight than by taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate our history we are so proud of, our produce and our fantastic team.

Our Heritage

It was somewhat 160 years ago, when Thomas Johnson first embarked on his first trip to market in Falkirk all the way from his father’s farm in Slamannan, driving his horse and cart. Now, 4 generations on, the family business continues to thrive where it all began, Falkirk. Over the decades, our team has changed, our business has grown, but 3 key factors remain – Quality, Value and Service. Our key values and principles are what have undoubtably led to our success. From our first store in the Cow Wynd, Falkirk to our butchers in Alloa, these 3 crucial principles have followed us.

Our Produce

Now, it wouldn’t be #ScottishFoodAndDrinkFortnight without talking about our impeccable produce that we are known and loved for. We ensure, and always have done, that our beef and lamb is the best the market has to offer. Meaning all of our produce is purchased weekly at the Caledonian market in Stirling and our pork and bacon is supplied by Robertson’s Fine Food in Ayrshire. Home-grown, Scottish produce is at the heart of our business and it is so important to us that we are support local business such as the Caledonian Market and Robertson’s Fine Food through our produce.

Through our high-quality produce, we have become one of Central Scotland’s most loved butchers. From traditional cuts of meat, to more modern, contemporary dishes, we have something to suit every taste.

Our Team

We are incredibly lucky here at Thomas Johnson Butchers, to have had incredible teams working with us from day dot who have all shared the passion for our principles – Quality, Value and Service.

Today, we must celebrate our ever-growing and expanding team here in Falkirk, where it all began with our shop manager Rod Gillie leading the way. Rod, a highly respected and dedicate member of the Thomas Johnson family, first worked in the Cow Wynd shop in 1978 and over the years has provided locals with incredible service, knowledge and loyalty.

Our team today, follow in Rod’s footsteps to be a hard-working, dedicated team who have our consumers and produce at the heart of our mission. We are proud to know, that fantastic service will never be missed when you shop with us.

So, by celebrating #ScottishFoodAndDrinkFortnight we would like to send a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years and particularly, through the last 20 months which have been strange for us all. We thank you for choosing Thomas Johnson’s and for always #supportinglocalbusiness.
