I discovered this butchers on facebook of all places! I was intrigued by the prices that people…read morewere talking and decided that I should try it myself. North lakes can be a bit of a maze to most (myself included) but Meatland is luckily not far from one of the Motorway exits. It is within eye shot of costco and bunnings. Parking is off road in a carpark at the front of the store. The shop area is much smaller than other wholesale butchers but stocks a large variety. I was impressed with the quality and the prices were fantastic, much more reasonable than the supermarkets. Today i picked up chicken breasts for 8.99/kg, and have previously been buying them in a supermarket for 14.99/kg. There was also a large variety of sausages to pick from and they stocked boerwors for those South African expats living in Brisbane. They had a mix of grain fed beef and also grass fed beef for those paleo people like myself. One tip when visiting this store is to bring your own jumper or jacket, and if you forget you can grab a quick $2 coffee or hot chocolate from the till area. Staff are friendly and enthusiastic about discussing cooking methods and recipes.

They come in packs of two. I have not been able to fault any other goods that they sell there. I don't think I was just lucky I think that they just provide good product and the staff behind the scene and in the front office are helpful and very cheery.

There are so many different varieties of fish and shellfish to choose from, it sometimes takes me a good half hour to make my choice. One of my favourites are the pre-made Oysters Kilpatrick, you just bring them home and pop them into the oven for 10 minutes and bon a petit! These are great if you are entertaining and running short on time, just serve them up with a bottle of bubbles and you have a very impressive entrée. You can't go past the local prawns, big and full of flavour, these little beauties sell like hotcakes during peak holiday periods so make sure you pre-order.

The store is bright, colourful and spacious with product neatly stacked and accessible. Full range of Indian and Fijian spices and groceries as well as Mexican section.

Wonderful to see such an addition in outer Brisbane suburbia.

I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They were fantastic to deal with, easy and flexible with many hire, flavour & quantity options available. Their set up was fast and simple and most importantly their unique flavours are just divine. Where else can you get butterscotch fairy floss? Our guests thought we were crazy hiring fairy floss for our party but we would do it all again thanks to the fantastic experience and the enjoyable night!

If you like nuts (no pun intended) then there's no reason for you not to love Charlesworth Nuts…read more First of all; the smell is heavenly. I've tried to resist the temptation of walking in store when you walk past, but it's just no use. I cave every time. Charlesworth Nuts have a wide range of products to choose from. They have dried fruits, raw nuts, cooked nuts, special mixes, chocolates, gift baskets and even gift vouchers! It's pretty awesome. The West Lakes store is full of helpful and friendly staff who are more than happy to let you try the products before you buy, and are patient enough to wait for you to make your decision (there's so many to choose from it gets tough!). I feel confident enough to say that I've tried every thing that Charlesworth Nuts have to offer at least once. I've also never been disappointed. I've been lucky enough to always buy them when they're fresh out of the oven and almost too hot to eat! Absolutely delicious.
