Amazing, quality, fresh meat. Clean store. Chicken mini roasts, saltbush lamb sausages and beef schnitzels are some of our favourites.

Purchased sausages, mince and two cattlemans cutlets on 25/5/19. The cutlets looked a little pale on purchase and when we went to cook them they were off. We are travelling and like to support local businesses. So very disappointing (and expensive waste) !
