PORK WITH PROVENANCE
Today, our family business is the county’s only remaining commercial producer of authentic Ayrshire bacon. Whether you require primal cuts of pork and bacon, manufactured, sliced, and cooked products, the Robertson’s team will deliver quality and service worthy of the Robertson’s family name. We also carry an extensive range of non-Scottish pork bacon and tinned meats to further meet the requirements of our customers.
QUALITY UNDERPINS OUR OPERATION
As a member of the QMS Assurance Scheme, we hold a ‘Farm Assured from Scotland’ badge and all our meat is SSPCA-Assured. We operate from our two custom-built processing and smoking facilities in Ardrossan and Irvine; BRC A and AA rated.
With traceability from farm through to processing and packaging, our team has full control, allowing us to maintain the high standards our reputation is founded on, and to forge longstanding partnerships with our customers.
Famous Quality Sausages & PuddingsThe Robertson’s Difference
What goes into making our famously fantastic sausages?
It’s simple – top quality, wholesome cuts of pork with a natural balance of pork trim to lean meat.
Every Robertson’s sausage contains a minimum 65% pork meat; each is prepared to our historic recipe, ensuring the succulence and full flavour that have made our sausages famous.

Fresh Pork Product List
Our fresh pork and bacon holds special status. We source our pigs exclusively from Scottish farms, where the pigs are born, reared and cared for in strict accordance with responsible farming practices. In addition, we also offer a range of UK and EU pork products to further meet the needs of our customers and their pricing structures.
The Robertson’s range encapsulates a huge variety of Scottish pork cuts and products. What’s more, we have the flexibility to honour special requests and short delivery times – that’s why butchers and chefs across the land insist on Robertson’s pork.
