Company information

2012 marked our 20th anniversary and when we established Kezie in early 1992 our aim was simple, to share with our customers the superb meats and seafood that we ourselves had experienced whilst travelling throughout the world. These delicious and healthy products have of course been enjoyed in their own countries for generations and we wanted to introduce these same wonderful flavours back home, here in the UK.

Over the years we have carefully sourced the finest meats and seafood from around the world and from our small farm in the beautiful Scottish Borders made it easy for our customers to enjoy eating them at their own dinner table whenever they want, just as they are enjoyed from Africa to Australia every day.

Kezie really does offer you a whole world of choice.
