These Butteries have been carefully refined to honour the way they were traditionally made, restoring the depth of flavour and texture that made them a North East staple. By moving away from modern shortcuts and reintroducing time-honoured methods — including the use of lard — the result is a far superior version of this much-loved classic.
A firm favourite with locals and ex-pats alike, Butteries — also known as Rowies or Aberdeen Rolls — are a true taste of the North East of Scotland. These aren’t the pale imitations found on supermarket shelves, but the real thing: rich, flaky, and unmistakably indulgent.
Distinct from any ordinary roll, Butteries have a uniquely layered texture, somewhere between a croissant and a flatbread, with a satisfying savoury richness. Traditionally made to sustain fishermen heading out to sea, they were designed to be filling, flavoursome, and long-lasting.
Enjoy them warm with butter, topped with jam, or simply on their own. However you eat them, these are proper Butteries — a proud slice of Scottish baking heritage, made the way they should be.

JOYCE CUNNINGHAM –
I went to Aberdeen as a child. The butteries are delicious. I don’t butter my rolls as I don’t like butter. These are so tasty on their own. Either cold or slightly warmed up. They may well be nice with butter on them too. I can’t comment on that.

We would visit Aberdeen each year to see family and I absolutely loved these. Can’t get these anywhere in England.
Warmed up with a bit of butter melted on top – heaven!
Gary (verified owner) –
Defrosted , a minute and a half in the toaster , spread on top with lashings of butter .. amazing taste & yexture and very very moreish … and for someone who prefers savoury to sweet , the saltiness is at the exact level needed to lift the taste rather than over power it.
These ‘Butteries’ have definitley knocked both crumpets and muffins off the top of the breakfast list.
Very highly recommended
