★ ★ ★ ★ ★ *Update* Sept, 2013 (5/5)
Tried a new batch of breakfast sausages. They are now tasty and the meat has been minced more. The size of sausages are now longer and a bit bigger. Very pleased with the recent batch and will continue to enjoy them once again. These are breakfast sausages fit for an English breakfast.

I used to love this place when it was owned by the Scottish people. The new owners have the same food but the recipes are changing. The breakfast sausages (chipolatas) have changed. They are more coarse and less tasty. More typical of a Canadian meat sausage. I will try again and update my review if it gets better. The black pudding is the same and I love it.
Pies are made well and have good pieces of meat, but are pretty tasteless. Perhaps because they are not using flavor enhancers which is good. Taste like a pie a relative would make.
I will go again and try there products to see if the blandness is due to the new owners getting used to the recipes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I don't usually write reviews but this needed to be heard. I have been shopping here for awhile now being from Shropshire it tastes of home. Ever since the young Irish guy took over things have really improved. Haggis, Black pudding, Pork Sausages are fantastic but i was in during the week and the Irish guy was serving an elderly gentleman. The old man had gathered all his bits and was than asked "if he was stuck for anything else" and he replyed, "toilet roll" but he didn't want to go to the co-op" the Irish bloke proceeded to explain to him that he had ordered extra things like that in case anyone was stuck. I am very proud to be a customer of a shop that sells great produce and has a genuine concern for its customers and community to help anyone and everyone. Thank you

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Their haggis is delicious, I eat it just about every day for breakfast. Tried the new haggis recipe with lamb as well and it is the closest I have found to the haggis in Scotland. The new shop owner is really lovely. Highly recommend!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I popped into this place after driving by it a few times on Elbow Drive. I got some sausage rolls and they are fantastic (just scarfing them down). I liked the product selection and the service was great. Had a laugh with the chap with the Irish/Welsh accent (ha!). I'll be back soon.
Side note regarding some of the negative reviews from the "Karens" of the world giving 1/5 ratings: I think all those issues could have been resolved with a calm conversation. No small business willingly wants to damage its own reputation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ MacEwans Meats really changed for the better under the new management. Niall is polite, friendly and a true professional in this business.
Being a Brit it’s virtually impossible to find anyone in Calgary to make the homemade pies that we took for granted in the UK. MacEwans Meats excel in this department. From the Steak and Ale right through to the Chicken and Mushroom you really won’t have any complaints. This butcher also has a variety of many other home comforts aside from meats and pies. Even his scotch eggs are worth the heartburn lol. He’s mastered those things trust me!!!!!
A huge thumbs up from me and keep up the great work Niall.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Picked up black pudding yesterday, tried it this morning, loved it. Messaged my mother to break the news Ive no reason to ever fly home again because Ive found the perfect black pudding ?.haven't heard back from her ?. Perfect blend of spices in it nicely sliced not too thin not too thick.
Knocks the socks off anything like Denny's or galtees puddings from home.
