Meet The Makers:
Findlater's Fine Foods
Operating from the historic Scottish town of Linlithgow in West Lothian, Findlater's Fine Foods represents a definitive example of independent delicatessen craft. Founded in 2004 by husband and wife Martin and Sara Henderson, the enterprise began life as a small restaurant and deli shop. The exceptional quality of their handmade goods quickly gathered a highly demanding local following. To meet the growing orders, the couple expanded into a dedicated, state-of-the-art kitchen, transforming a local favourite into a widely respected artisan producer.



A TRADITION OF SMALL-BATCH CRAFT
Despite their growth over the past two decades, Martin and Sara strictly avoid mass-produced shortcuts. They retain a deeply hands-on approach, producing every single pâté in small batches to ensure the textures and flavours remain entirely at restaurant standard. This grounded, uncompromising method guarantees a highly tactile and profoundly satisfying end product.

INSIDE OUR SCOTTISH HAMPERS
We are exceptionally proud to feature Findlater's Fine Foods within our curated collections. We selected them for their absolute mastery of traditional small-batch production and their genuine connection to the Scottish culinary larder.
CHICKEN LIVER PÂTÉ WITH BRANDY & PORT
This deeply satisfying provision delivers a decadent, remarkably smooth texture. The rich, robust depth of the chicken liver is carefully balanced by a sweet infusion of port and brandy, a recipe that earned a coveted three-star Great Taste Award in 2020. It provides a magnificent, savoury anchor to any artisan spread, pairing flawlessly with crisp Scottish oatcakes and a sharp, dark chutney.
RED LENTIL, COCONUT & SESAME SEED PÂTÉ
A brilliant, highly textural vegetarian alternative that refuses to compromise on depth. By carefully blending red lentils with creamy coconut and sesame seeds, the team achieves an incredibly smooth, buttery profile infused with aromatic herbs and spices. It serves as a wonderfully earthy addition to our hampers, offering a clean, deeply rewarding finish.
SMOKED SALMON PÂTÉ WITH CRÈME FRAÎCHE & DILL
Crafted with genuine Scottish provenance, this provision captures the true, fresh essence of the coastline. The rich texture of slow-roasted salmon is gently folded with crème fraîche and dill, drizzled with tangy lemon and lime, and finished with a twist of cracked black pepper. It pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine from the diaspora or a delicate botanical tonic, providing a quiet moment to appreciate the Scottish larder.
