Loved the service and quality. Everything from a clever deli dept through to a wonderful meat selection. I bought a bit of everything but they had me at the cheese tasting offered without me requesting. Marvellous. I've found my family butchers.

I was recommended to check out Rendinas recently and thankfully they are within my 5km radius. I went in yesterday and was blown away by the quality of meat and deli options available. And the service was friendly and informative. I look forward to heading back to try the Sher Wagyu Brisket for my next smoke up.

During these hard times we would expect people to pull together. Not rob people blind. Terrible butcher taking advantage of the tough times and the fact everyone else has sold out at much more reasonable prices, majority of meats sitting above $47 per kg.
1kg of mince, 500g of chicken tenderloins and 500g of beef stir fry $90. Unacceptable even if it is "bio-dynamic and organic".
DO NOT BUT FROM THEM EVER.

Best Meats Ever. Salami, pork roast, STEAK. They make all their own sausages which is the measuring stick of any good butcher. They cure their own bacon which is the best bacon I've ever eaten. Great range of meats and salami. I would happily travel from Doncaster to go here every day but I don't have to as they home deliver. Still nice to pop in and say hi and see what goodies they have fresh daily.

For excellent quality and good old fashioned service this is the place to come. ALL their meats are amazing, must say i luv the fresh salmon also, worth a visit over the trendy butchers out there that sell free range that means next to nothing. Organics all the way; you will taste the difference..
