A Fife-based producer has earned national recognition after winning silver at the 2025 Great British Food Awards.
The Farmer’s Son, based in Auchtertool is known for its award-winning haggis and black pudding, secured the silver award in the butcher category for its Scottish Black Pudding.
The product is made using a 100-year-old family recipe, combining locally-sourced Scotch Assured beef, Scottish oats, and a blend of spices.
Pete Mitchell, founder of The Farmer’s Son said: “The Great British Food awards are some of the most recognised awards in the food and drink industry, so we are incredibly honoured that our Black Pudding has won this prestigious award alongside so many fantastic businesses up and down the country."
Launched in 2014, the Great British Food Awards celebrate the best in artisanal food and drink across the UK. Entries are judged by a panel of acclaimed chefs, food critics, and influencers, including Simon Rogan, Raymond Blanc, and Sally Abé.
Each product is assessed through a rigorous judging process before winners are announced.
This accolade marks another successful year for The Farmer’s Son, whose Scottish Black Pudding has already received two Great Taste Awards, a gold award at the Farm Shop & Deli Awards, and was shortlisted in the annual Meat Management Awards.
The company says the recognition reflects its ongoing commitment to provenance, community, and quality, encouraging consumers to support local producers and embrace sustainable food practices.
