Membership is something to aspire to. London’s Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is a founder member

The Scotch Beef Club

Re-launched in the UK in 2004, the Scotch Beef Club is not restricted to Michelin starred establishments or high profile venues. It is looking for members who embrace best practice and high levels of service and who wish to promote Scotch Beef because they know and believe in its outstanding quality. We aim to encourage restaurant to distinguish Scotch Beef from others and identify it on the menu. In return for this commitment members will be able to nominate young chefs or trainees, the stars of tomorrow, to come to Scotland and take part in a Scotch Beef Academy visit which will begin on the farm and will follow production and processing and show how breeding, feeding and handling really make a difference to ultimate meat eating quality.

Quality Meat Scotland aims to ensure that members of the Scotch Beef Club will be better informed about the meat they serve, will ask more of their suppliers and will, in turn, offer more information to their customers.

All prospective members will be visited prior to approval. There are now 180 members of the SBC and membership must be renewed annually. It is restricted to 200 in any given year.

Founder members include:

Adam Street Andrew Fairlie @ Gleneagles Auberge du Lac Chewton Glen Cliveden Gleneagles One Aldwych Le Gavroche Langan’s Brasserie

Le Manoir Le Talbooth Mandarin Oriental Merchants No. 1 at the Balmoral Paris Restaurant Martin Wishart Sharrow Bay Slaley Hall
