About us

Ochil Foods was founded in 1978 at East Mill, Auchterarder as a Fish Farm, Smoke House and Wholesale Fish Distribution Business. The current owners, Neil and Annie Dixon took over in 1988 and increased the product list beyond fish and into game, fruit, cheeses and more, to serve rural Scottish Hotels and Restaurants.

They continued to farm trout alongside Ochil Foods until 2005 when they moved the company away from East Mill and along the road to Aberuthven to solely concentrate on food distribution. Since then the product list and customer base has grown dramatically, whilst managing to keep the personal service that epitomises the company. 2006 saw an expansion into Edinburgh, with Ochil Foods’ service and quality proving to be as popular in the capital as it is received outside.

January 2009 saw the beginning of a new dawn with Neil and Annie’s son Jeremy joining the family firm, bringing with him a number of years business experience both inside and outside of the catering trade.

Ochil Foods distribution network covers Central Scotland and beyond. We have a number of vans delivering to Perthshire, Stirlingshire, Aberdeenshire, Inverness-shire and Midlothian. Customers can also use a next day courier service giving us a far wider reach with orders going regularly as far as Hampshire in the South and The Outer Hebrides to the North.
