Of course — this is one of the best parts about shopping at a real butcher. Whether it's a specific thickness, a special portion size, or a cut you can't see on the shelf, just give us a call on (07) 3398 4373 or contact us through the website. For large or specialty orders, we recommend getting in touch a few days ahead so we can make sure everything's ready for you.
Yes! We stock a great range of gluten-free options across beef, chicken, lamb, and pork. Filter by 'Gluten Free' in our online shop to browse the full range. If you're ever unsure about a specific product, just give us a call and we'll help you out.
Because we cut and weigh your meat fresh in-store, the exact final weight can vary slightly from the estimate. We'll never charge you more per kilogram than the quoted price — if your order comes in a touch heavier, we'll charge the difference; if it's a little lighter, we'll refund it. Completely fair, completely transparent.
100% Australian, every time. We source our meat from trusted Australian farmers and suppliers, and where applicable, our beef is MSA-graded. We're proud to support local and keep the quality high — that's what being a local Brisbane butcher means to us.
Everything, honestly. Our meat is butcher-prepared fresh in-store daily — not pre-packaged, not sitting in a display fridge for days. You get better cuts, better quality, and a team that actually knows the product. Our award-winning sausages and burgers are proof that there's no comparison. Once you've tried proper butcher meat, it's hard to go back.
Once your order is packed and on its way, we'll be in touch. If you ever have questions about your delivery status, give us a ring on (07) 3398 4373 and our team will sort it out for you straight away.
Nope! We're happy to leave your order at the door. It'll stay cold and safe in our insulated box for up to 4 hours. If you'd prefer someone to be home to receive it, just pop a note in your order and we'll make sure it doesn't get left unattended.
The safest and best-quality method is to transfer your meat from the freezer to the fridge the night before you need it and let it defrost slowly on the bottom shelf. Avoid defrosting on the bench at room temperature — it can encourage bacteria to grow and affect the quality of the meat.
The minimum order for delivery is $150, and delivery is completely free. For click & collect orders, there's no minimum — order as much or as little as you like and pick it up from our Carina store at 182 Stanley Road.
Delivery is FREE on all orders over $150. There's no delivery fee — just a minimum order value. If you'd prefer to skip delivery altogether, click & collect is always available with no minimum order required.
As a general guide: steaks, roasts, and chops will keep for 3–5 days in the fridge at or below 5°C. Mince and sausages are best used within 1–2 days. Always store meat on the bottom shelf — it's the coldest spot and stops any drips from landing on other food.
If you are unhappy with your order, please contact us by phone or via the Contact Us form on the website.
We accept Visa and Mastercard through a fully secure, PCI-compliant payment gateway — your card details are encrypted and protected at every step. We will never ask for your payment details via email. If anything ever looks unusual, call us directly on (07) 3398 4373.
Yes — including rare A5 Japanese Wagyu, which is about as good as beef gets. We also carry a range of Australian Wagyu. It's the kind of product you won't find at your local supermarket. Browse the full Wagyu range in our online shop.
All orders are packed in insulated cold boxes with ice gel packs to keep your meat at a safe temperature during transit. Our boxes maintain safe cold temperatures for up to 4 hours, so your order stays fresh and safe even if you're not home when it arrives.
We deliver Wednesday and Fridays, between 12:01 pm and 8:00 pm.
MSA stands for Meat Standards Australia — it's the world's leading independent eating quality program. MSA-graded beef has been assessed for tenderness, juiciness, and flavour, so you're not just guessing whether your steak will be good. It takes the guesswork out and guarantees a quality eating experience, every single time.
Absolutely — and it's a great way to stock up and save. Wrap your meat well (vacuum-sealed or tightly in freezer bags with air removed) and freeze at -18°C. Steaks and roasts keep for up to 6 months; mince and sausages are best within 3 months. Our value packs are perfect for freezing — dinner sorted for the whole week.
