As part of Strathmore Foods, the McIntosh team is based in Forfar, Angus, where they work in accordance with Scottish recipes to perfect its wholesome range of ready meals, pies and mash. With accreditation from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), it maintains a tradition of producing quality foods that offer Scottish flavours which stand the test of time. As new influences such as Indian and Italian cuisine become popular, the McIntosh experts have now developed some mouth-watering new choices such as the Chicken Tikka Pie to add to the Scottish Mealtime Menu.
