Donald Russell Ltd

Introduction

No meat is more tender or delicious than that from Donald Russell, Royal Warrant holder and Britain's leading mail order meat supplier. Based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, we are a pioneering mail order and online butcher who use only time honoured methods to guarantee the best you'll ever taste.

The range we specialise in is a broad and uncompromising one and all the traditional cuts, including naturally reared beef, pork and lamb, can be found alongside some more contemporary classics like our range of gourmet seafood, game and veal. Following customer's requests, we have also recently launched a range of desserts and chef made meals which really bring home the company's mission statement - to provide you with a complete gourmet dining experience in your own home.

A brief history

Donald Russell opened its doors to trade customers in 1974. In its early years, Donald Russell supplied gourmet meats to a growing number of highly reputed restaurants and hotels in the UK and worldwide, from Kensington Place and Simpson's-in-the-Strand to the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and The Grand Hotel, Monte Carlo.

We still supply many of them today, including some of the most reputable Michelin-starred names in the restaurant industry, from our London office where we can be nearer to many of our trade clients. However, due to a rapidly changing market place and a demand from the chefs to have our produce in their own homes , Donald Russell Direct was born and of course still delivers gourmet meat to households across the UK today.

We've come a long way in our 40 year history, and over the past decade donaldrussell.com has managed to build a reputation as THE place to buy meat online. This is an up-to-the-minute way of purchasing your goods with cooking tips and advice available at the click of a button.

Of course Donald Russell has overcome many challenges during this time. Click here to view our 'Back from the Brink' video.
