David's haggis and black pudding, second to GIN outside of the bonnie land, if you know and enjoy the real taste, you'll ken what I mean (I wouldn't mind some heart in it tho ), so glad to have found his place now I'm back in Aus

Tremendous produce. Especially the scotch pies, haggis and bacon. A wee slice of Scotland down under.

I'm so happy to have discovered David's Larder. I ordered haggis in easy-to-cook slices and their steak pies. Both were extremely delicious and the pies have got to be the best I have ever had. I will definitely be ordering again. It's good to know that a piece of Scotland is available locally.

A mate took me here 3 weekends ago. Wow ! This is the best food shop in all of Sydney. I though haggis would be awful. These blokes make it very tasty. You will be hard pressed to find anyone as good. And if you lie gourmet pies its heaven !

The butcher is easy to access and park. The quality of the meat is good quality however the prices compared to other butchers appear to be on the slightly higher side.

They quoted our not for profit community group a price and then wanted to charge us over 30% more when we went to pick up. So we had to reduce the size of the order to meet our budget. They then tried to give me a $398 receipt for a $350 purchase. So if you are a community group be very careful if you are doing business with this butcher.

Got our Burns Night haggis from here. Easy people to deal with - obliging. They don't just make and sell haggis but a wide range of very tasty foods.
