The meat is ok, but most pre-packaged into formats: a lot of it pre-seasoned. They seem to put their sticker on a wholesale-supply.The lack of local competition shows in the outrageous prices. Only two places at the counter so its slow and the staff keep prodding you to choose quickly (while asking, inanely, hows your day been: its suddenly getting worse, I feel like saying). Then they have the insolence to levy a surcharge on the total even for EFTPOS payments. Wont go back even if it means travelling further, in future.

When my partner and I first came to this place we wanted to try everything! If you are looking for quality meat, I would highly recommend Church St Butcher. The staff is also outstanding, they accidentally gave me the wrong meat and were quick to resolve this with a smile. Cannot recommend this place enough.
