An online voucher promising 10 kilos of meat at an extremely affordable price led me into Brisbane Bulk Meats and my experience in store and the quality of the product will see me go back. It was a typical summer day when I went to pick up my prize and the cool environment that greeted me as I entered this local butcher immediately put me in a good mood. The cheery gentleman that greeted me with a loud and exuberant hello only exacerbated that feeling. As he collected up my assortment of lamb, pork, sausage and steak he chatted cheerily as all about him what seemed like a dozen staff filled trays, helped other customers and washed up. The whole experience left me feeling good about the fact the food I was about to consume was coming from such an experienced and efficient team. And after cooking up some of their hamburger patties and pork steaks I feel even better.

I recently shopped here for the first time and just couldn't find anything that interested me. I'd…read moredone my fruit and veg shopping next door at Rock'n'Roll and went into the butcher to grab some meat, looking specifically for free-range chicken breast and some sort of lean pork filet. They had a strange butterflied cut of pork that had a lot of fat on it and I couldn't see any free-range chicken. Despite not finding any meat that interested me, I did find well-priced free-range eggs, only $3.50 for a dozen. Don't pay $6 next door in the fruit shop! Service was fast and friendly and it seems to be a clean, well-kept butcher. Their range of meat just didn't take my fancy.

This shop space has been a butchery for the last 30-something years, trading under the name of…read moreAllens Meats, but has recently changed hands and become Maestro Meats. It hasn't yet got any signage up, but it is trading and there are some greats meats to be found within. The cuts are all pretty traditional, but the meat is of excellent quality and is sourced fairly locally. Their beef comes from Warrick and their lamb from Tassie, and it's good to know also that their chicken has been barn-raised and not cooped up too tightly. I've had some good chicken sausages, chicken kebabs, and lamb chops from there, but there's so much more I'd buy from there if I lived closer. Prices are reasonable--maybe a tiny bit more expensive than Coles, but definitely better quality. It's also worth noting that the new owners are planning to put a smoke house in for making their own smoked meats! Pretty exciting news for the residents of Annerley/Moorooka.

When my friend moved from West End to Coorparoo, I had visions of the severe withdrawals she'd be…read morehaving from all things local and organic in West End. Turns out, Coorparoo is pretty well equipped. And if I recall rightly, West End doesn't have an organic butcher. Watch out--Coorparoo could be the next big thing! Allsop and England is a fantastic little butcher and everything in there is organic except the cheerios. Most of their meat comes from an organic grower in Roma and their chicken from an organic free range grower in Murgon, so you can be sure that your meat isn't travelling too far. They not only sell all your regular cuts of meat beef, lamb and pork, but also do a few things out of the ordinary like goat and duck. We bought a whole duck from there the other day and roasted it--amazing. The prices are reasonable, in fact really reasonable considering it's organic. I'd say it's definitely cheaper than buying Coles organic meat, for example. With so few organic butchers around, I would make a special trip just to go to this butcher. In fact, I'd like to make a habit of it.

ORGANIC BUTCHER. What more possibly needs to be said?…read more Eating organic meat has always been far more important to me than eating organic veggies (if you can do both, you get pats on the back). Luckily, today, I'm going to save you from a long winded, morally righteous rant about it. I'll keep to the basics which are said as simply as this: ORGANIC MEAT IS GOOD FOR YOU, THE ANIMAL, AND THE FARMER. SHOP HERE. ALL THE TIME. START TODAY. Allsop and England also like to keep it local too. You'll see the signs proudly exclaiming that they like "to keep it Australian". Most of their meat comes less than 10 hours driving distance away in Queensland, and so, in the grand scheme of things, these guys are really keeping it close to home. They don't really do 'fancy' here. They've got all your classic cuts, and meats, but nothing too over the top or flashy. They don't need to draw you in using tricks. They're local, they're organic. What more do you want? I am ecstatic to report that the prices are no more expensive than what you'd find at Coles or any other non organic butcher. Are you reading this properly? At Allsop and England, you essentially pay less to eat better meat. I hope I've made my point clear. This is your new butcher. It's good for you, your pocket, for the butcher, for the animals, for the farmers that supply the butcher. Feel proud to purchase your flesh goods here.

Meat Your Lifestyle is right next door to Coles. It's easy to go to Coles and buy all of your…read moregroceries there, but if you're anything like me, you'll buy your meat from the place next door, because they've got a better selection (no kangaroo here though, sorry) and they're cheaper. And you're supporting small local business. Win! Their platter of rich, red, iron laden meats just makes me salivate. They've got all of your standard cuts: eye fillet ($29.99 kg), scotch fillet, T-bones, rump, as well as diced meat, and two versions of mince. Then there's ossu buco cuts, and $2 bags of lamb off cuts, and $2.50 bags of neck chops (good for stocks, soup, or delicate treats for your dog). Chicken and pig can be found in various manifestations in the other fridge. The major drawcard for me is the varieties of sausage they sell there (all priced at $7.99). Worchestershire sauce sausage? Herb and garlic? Spanish chorizo sausage that isn't actually chorizo sausage (it's a bit of an odd one, I know)? How about sun dried tomato sausage? Your barbeque will be the most flavourful in town if you shop here, I promise. The service is quick and no nonsense, and you can't argue with the prices. Do yourself and small business a favour, and get your meat goods at Meat Your Lifestyle.

Meat Your Lifestyle has a great range of beef, pork, lamb and chicken, and gives its neighbour, Coles, a run for its money. Whilst not on display, they also have specialty meats written up on their chalk board, like peking duck, so be sure to ask if what you're looking for isn't in the cabinet. My favourites are their osso bucco for only $6.50/kg (great for tenderising in a slow cooker) and their free-range eggs, the cheapest I've come across in Brisbane. I also like their whole free-range chickens, costing around $7/kg. They come with their innards removed, making it quick and easy to stick them in the oven. The only downside is that they don't seem to sell free-range chicken breasts and the chicken breasts they do sell are so big, you have to wonder about the steroid content. Service is mixed, depending on who you get. Some employees there can be a bit abrupt, others really friendly. Either way, it beats Coles!

Somewhere around winter and discovering The Goat Pie Guy pies, I wanted to cook goat for myself…read more Never having done so in the past I wasn't even sure where to find goat. That is until, I think it was Kelly W, posted a picture to instagram of her goat purchases from the PA Halal Butcher. Of course I jumped in the car and visited this south side butcher! It's a sharp right turn just after the main intersection and just before Buranda shopping centre proper. And in the strip of local shops you'll find this butcher that as well as goat meat for curries and such stocks some ridiculously affordable other cuts of meat ($7.99 a kilo for lamb shanks, for example) and a few general grocery items like pasta etc. There was no pomp or ceremony and I suspect if you're seeking a detailed run down of the origin of your cut of meat this might not be the place for it, none the less, for affordable and not always mainstream meats, this is your place.
