Creating great tasting that delights
It started in a pub. Two friends one idea. To make food worth remembering. In Kirkcudbright where artists paint and tides shift slow they opened a small deli. Pastries. Pies. Then pâté. Rich bold unlike anything else.
Word spread, locals came back and visitors talked. By 1987, we built our factory by the River Dee. We’ve been here ever since. Crafting food for people who share our passion. Producing artisan-quality food that our customer have come to know and love.
At Castle MacLellan we value skill, dedication and pride. If you believe great food begins with great people you will fit right in.
