W A Boak & Son began trading at open-air markets around Edinburgh and the Lothians in 1995, selling fresh fish from a stall before expanding into meat and bakery goods. The family-run business now operates from a factory shop on the Eastfield Industrial Estate in Penicuik, open to the public Wednesday to Saturday, alongside refrigerated vans and a mobile butchers' lorry that still serves weekend markets in the wider area. The shop sells fresh seafood and meat cut to order, along with bakery items, with prices set to undercut supermarket equivalents while sourcing from Scottish suppliers. It has kept the market-trading model that founded the business even as the retail side has grown, giving it a wider customer base than a typical single-site butcher. The Eastfield Drive premises function as both a production unit and a public-facing shop, a combination reflected in the shop's pricing. It remains independently owned and single-site, despite the mobile market operation extending its reach beyond Penicuik.
