Scott has made A LOT of sausage flavours over the years… and some definitely deserve a comeback. 👀🌭

Two gourmet flavours are up for the vote:
🍐 Pork, Poached Pear, Cashew & Ginger
🥬 Pork, Beetroot & Coriander

But then there was the Thai Curry snag… 🌶️
Let’s just say it didn’t quite make the cut😂

If Scott could bring back just ONE gourmet flavour, which one would you choose?

👇 Comment PEAR or BEETROOT and tell us if you'd give the Thai Curry snag a go!

Meet Tyler 👋
You might have seen him behind the counter, but there’s a new chapter about to begin for Tyler, he’s starting his apprenticeship as a butcher. 🔪🥩

For us, it’s about more than having another set of hands in the shop.
Scott is passionate about passing on the skills, knowledge and traditions of the trade to the next generation.

A local butcher shop has always been about community, knowing your customers, knowing your craft and learning from the people who came before you.

We’re excited to watch Tyler learn, grow and become part of the next generation of butchers.

If you see him around the shop, make sure you say hello and wish him luck! 👋

👇 What advice would you give someone starting their first apprenticeship?

Dinner just got a whole lot easier 🙌
Our lamb kofta kebabs are packed with flavour and make a simple, family-friendly meal without a heap of prep.

Cook them up on the BBQ, grill or in the oven, then let everyone build their own pita with their favourite toppings.
🥙 Warm pita
🥩 Lamb kofta
🫓 Hummus
🥬 Lettuce
➕ Add your favourite extras

And if you’ve got little ones at home, get them involved! Let the kids build their own pita and choose what goes in it, sometimes getting them involved in the kitchen is the easiest way to get them excited about dinner.

Easy to cook, fun to assemble and a great way to get the whole family around the table.

Save this for the next time you’re doing your weekly shop.

One of the biggest changes Scott has seen in the butcher trade?
The Sunday roast. 🥩

When Scott first started out, he could sell 100+ roasts every weekend.
These days, he’s lucky to sell 10–15 a week.

So what changed?
The way we live?

These days, weekends are taken up by kids sport or getting out and about, rather than resting and coming together.

The butcher trade has also had to adapt to many families now juggling two working parents, busy kids, sport, school and everything else that comes with family life, there simply isn’t as much time to spend preparing and cooking meals from scratch during the week.

So the question became: how can we still give families a delicious, quality meal when they don't have hours to spend in the kitchen?

That’s where our Ready to Heat & Eat range comes in.

Think Beef Wellingtons, pies, lasagnes and savoury pastries prepared and cooked for you.

Just heat, add a side and dinner is sorted.

Because being a butcher today isn't just about selling meat. It’s about understanding what families need and helping solve the dinner-time problem.

👇 What do you remember buying from your local butcher that you rarely see people buying today?

Ever tried a Y-Bone steak? 🥩
If you haven’t, think of it as a little bit like the beef version of a lamb forequarter chop, a bone-in cut from the shoulder that brings plenty of flavour to the plate.

The Y-Bone comes from the shoulder region of the cow, specifically from a cross-section of the shoulder blade. And, as the name suggests, it has that distinctive Y-shaped bone running through the cut.

It’s a great one for the BBQ or grill. Get your cooking surface nice and hot, give it a good sear, then let the steak rest before serving.

Need some extra help? Ask one of our Master Butchers next time you're in store, they'll be happy to point you in the right direction. 👌

Have you tried Y-Bone before?
👇 Tell us in the comments, how did you like it?

The biggest mistake people make when buying steak? 🥩

Choosing the wrong cut for the job.

Not every steak is designed to be cooked the same way and the cut you choose can make a big difference to the final result.

Planning a quick midweek dinner? Cooking low and slow? Firing up the BBQ?

Tell your butcher how you want to cook it, and let them recommend the right cut for the job.

That’s one of the best parts about buying from your local butcher, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Save this one for your next steak shop 👌

Need a shortcut for dinner this week? 👇
Convenience doesn’t have to mean reaching for another heavily processed meal.

Our Ready to Heat & Eat range gives you an easy option when time is short with favourites like Beef Wellingtons, pies, lasagnes and savoury pastries, all prepared and pre-cooked for you.

Simply heat until golden brown, add a side of veggies or salad, and dinner is on the table 🙌

Less prep. Less fuss. More time back with the family.

Some stories from the early days of the business are hard to believe… 😂
When Scott first opened in Armidale, he had a young team of butchers who were clearly very committed to their jobs.

One Friday night, rather than heading home after a big night, the boys decided to sleep in the delivery truck so they wouldn't be late for work the next morning.

The only problem? Well, you can piece the rest of it together!

Those early Armidale days certainly came with a few stories and plenty of characters.

👇 Were you around in the early Armidale days? Tell us your favourite memory from back then. We’d love to hear it.
