Food From Argyll

Winston Churchill Venison was established in a very small building, in early 1990 . Winston taught himself butchery in order to sell to friends and family and slowly the business grew. Initially we sold our surplus carcasses to the dealers, but now we use all our own and buy in from neighbouring stalkers when the need arises. All of our venison is harvested from the wild.

We are a very small, family run business that takes great pride in all that we do. We are located in an Argyllshire forest, very near to Dunoon with breath taking views into Glen Kin and Kilmun hills across the Holy Loch. Balagowan has been our residence since 1986 and sits on the south western edge of the Loch Lomond National Park.

With demand growing for natural healthy meats – Venison is very low in cholesterol and fat – the Churchill’s built a purpose built facility to process their deer carcasses during 2000. Sales took off and they now employ two full time butchers to process, package and despatch their venison, which has been sold mainly locally but now offers mail order and is going far and wide!
