Our Heritage
Gordon R Brown Butchers where did we start?
In 1897 my Great Grandfather Peter Brown, from a farming family in Perth, came to Glasgow to work in an abattoir. He opened a shop in Sidney Street in the Gallowgate area of Glasgow.
He served the area with his horse and cart, and later with his Ford van, the mining areas of Carntyne and surround
Gordon R Brown Butchers where did we start?
In 1897 my Great Grandfather Peter Brown, from a farming family in Perth, came to Glasgow to work in an abattoir. He opened a shop in Sidney Street in the Gallowgate area of Glasgow.
He served the area with his horse and cart, and later with his Ford van, the mining areas of Carntyne and surrounding areas.
Unfortunately he died when my Grandfather (Gordon R Brown) was only 4 years old. My Grandfathers brother, also called Peter, took over the business and after WW2 moved to a new location in Riddrie.
My Grandfather joined the family business from school and continued the family tradition of supplying the outlying areas of Glasgow in the butchers van.
in 1976 my Grandfather bought his own shop in Netherlee G R Brown (butchers). In 1977 my father also Gordon, who worked with his Dad since he was 10, joined the business.
In 1981, the empire was enhanced with the purchase of our Eaglesham shop.
My Grandfather moved up to the Eaglesham shop leaving my Dad to run Netherlee.
My Grandmother, Mother and two aunts also worked in the shops making it a true “Family business”.
I (Stuart) joined the family business in 2004 and took over in 2024 when Gordon retired.
After a large refurbishment in our Eaglesham shop in 2021 and the closure of the Netherlee shop in 2025, the business has been futureproofed.
The philosophy of the Brown family has never changed. Top provide top quality products and service in the local and surrounding areas.
We source all our own beef, lamb, pork and poulty from local suppliers. We use recipes handed down from my Great Grandfather and continue to develop new products with the finest quality ingredients for all our customers.
We have won many awards for our products and hopefully the Brown family will continue serving our customers for many years to come.
