Since I discovered The Meat Market, I've stopped buying meat from my regular supermarket chain. The…read moremeat here is fresh, good value for money and they have the best cuts in town! At my last visit, I couldn't resist the lamb and mint patties which later proved to be a hit with the family. I also grabbed a bargain with the twin pack chicken retailed at $8.95, which was perfect for a roast. I love that they stock Beerenberg products here and if you're running out of time and want to avoid another pit stop, pick up some pasta, vegetables and sauces here. For the blokes who love their roasted pig, a spit and mobile coolroom is up for hire. Perfect for those summer barbies. Excellent customer service, clean and bright aisle and the website is a must to go, for weekly specials and recipes. Check out their daily specials on Facebook and Twitter.

But until that day it stands as a land mark for customers turning into the off street car park. It is a direct to the public wholesale butcher offering a fantastic range of meat products any carnivore dreams of and at reasonable prices too. Be sure to sign up for their rewards card and e-mail list to get the latest specials on offer or just look up their website. There are ready to go prepackaged meat packs in the supermarket style fridges or ask for it still mooing from the meat counter display. Want it minced, diced and sliced? No problem, done. A few centre shelves stocked with herbs and spices serve as a quick meal idea and in case a quality butchers knife is required, look no further, they use them why not us. Open 7 days a week so you're never stuck for something to bring to the BBQ.

Southern Cross Meats is my all time favourite Butcher shop. Run by Jason and Bill who are…read moreoutstanding both as butchers and community members, being heavily involved in Surf Life Saving. They are always friendly and smiling, I don't think I have ever seen either one of them having a bad day. This is definitely where the locals shop and they know just about all of their customers personally. The meat is top quality and I love their speciality section with the Southern Fried chicken which is amazing and their Thai chicken steaks, another favourite. My family adore their chicken patties which actually taste like they have some chicken in them, and also their shaslicks which are succulent and fat free. Nothing is ever too much trouble here and there is always service with a smile, the odd joke and lots of banter.

A good value butcher. Kebabs, steaks, chicken fillets - pretty much anything you can imagine is…read morehere. Kebabs are $1-2 which is on par with the supermarkets. They are also around the same size too and this butcher tends to have more flavors and marinades on offer though. Their marinades are nice and their cuts are generally leaner which is definitely good as a lot of supermarket cuts can be filled with fat (especially some of the steak). Staff are friendly and helpful which explains why the store is generally pretty busy when it is open. For BBQ's I recommend some of the satay kebabs as they taste extraordinary. This butcher is also my first stop for chicken fillets (when the supermarkets don't have as lean cuts and aren't on special).

We've been buying meat from these guys since as far back as I can remember. They've got to be the…read morefriendliest bunch in the Seaford Shopping Centre, and they've got a great range of meat to boot. They really epitomise the great things about local small businesses. Their meat is better, the range is bigger, the service is friendlier, and often the prices are cheaper too. We usually buy chicken schnitzels in bulk here, and have had many good steaks. We also buy all of our free range eggs here, as they're also cheaper. The centre around them has changed, and the store has been upgraded, but the great quality remains the same.

These guys probably need no help getting the word out but they're my favourite butcher especially…read morefor sausages and chicken products. I discovered the place when I worked in the area, and even though I don't anymore, I still buy my meat in bulk from them when I can. Very reasonable prices and great produce. We often buy their sausages which are gluten free. When we cook them there's hardly much grease that comes out and it doesn't taste too fatty or oily. A super plus point for me. We've tried all their chicken and pork sausages so far with our favourites being the chicken and cheese. They also sell ready to bake/cook chicken rolls which are actually really delicious. They have a huge range of stuffings, fillings and marinades with their chicken rolls which makes for an easy dinner. It's always fresh, we've never had a bad incident. They also sell schnitzel steaks, both chicken thigh and breast and these Kentucky style ones, do try the kentucky style ones if you can, the breaded crumb has some delicious seasoning. I think to me, they are a great example of a local business and it looks like they're getting fantastic support just by providing good service and great produce.

Meat....GLORIOUS MEAT!!!! I LOVE a good piece of meat, with the emphasis on the word GOOD! I think…read morethere is nothing worse that looking forward to a good steak and finding it tough and tastless. I used to work in catering and have cooked many steaks in my time, SA Gourmet Meats used to one of my most closely guarded secrets! I have bought meany a tonn from them over the years and have never been dissapointed. When you walk into their show room, the angels begin to sing, and a sense of euphoria comes over you as the vast selection presents itself. All of the usual suspects are there in more forms than you can imagine. Don't see what you want? RUBBISH! But if it isn't there it will be obtained! I always leave the store with more than I ordered or planned to buy, and I never have buyers remorse (except for the meat sweats from time to time)! Oh.....the staff are brilliant by the way! They really know there meat, so if you need some help don't be afraid to ask. If your lucky a certain older figure will be behind the counter who used to work as a Chef, have a chat, you wont regret it!

Brilliant! I have…read morebeen using this butcher for several years and always recommend friends and family to use them too. Quality - exceptional Range - Extensive Service - 10 out of 10!!! Price - Hands down, their prices are the best in the district. I even use these guys to cater for functions at the army barracks where we feed around 50 hungry soldiers that like meat, lots of MEAT! If you are not using SA Gourmet Meats as your butcher, then you are paying too much for lower quality meat.

It's been a while since I have been up to this side of Mount Barker. I am totally kicking myself…read morethat I have missed out on this place for the last 6 months. Murray Valley Beef Producers is like a butcher supermarket. It's pretty big! You will find all sorts of meats and seafood here. You will also find a range of processed items, like sausages, schnitzels, spring rolls, and marinated meats. There is quite a selection of different cuts to choose from depending on the animal. What I was impressed with was the quality of the cuts. In particular the ribs. I was looking for beef ribs for a Brazilian style bbq I was planning for the weekend. This butcher stocked yearling ribs with a good amount of meat on them. Some butchers cut off the belly part just over the ribs; which annoys me as the ribs then not have much meat on them. Well, not here! They are very meaty and really good quality. Best part was they were really well priced as well! Only around $15 for 1.3kg. Schwing! I also bought a pack of pepper Texan style snags which were lovely. Very meaty, not too much fat and really juicy! So, I know that Mount Barker is a little out of the way for most. But, if you have freezer space, I would recommend checking it out and stocking up here. Especially if you like quality very cheap!

Gawler River Cattle Co opened up here not long ago and have been a big hit ever since. They are…read moreeither similar in price to, or in some instances cheaper ,the supermarkets and offer a much better quality meat. They have a huge range with all kinds of seasonings and marinades available too. Their service is great. Last time I went in they cut exactly what I wanted and seasoned it for me with my choice of seasoning at no extra cost. Their lamb rosemary and mint seasoning is the best around. They also have a great range of dog bones, chicken necks and off cuts at much cheaper prices than supermarkets. You can get fresh eggs to go with your bacon. They do get really busy on weekends though but always have about 5 or 6 staff there at a time so it's not too bad. And their opening hours are so long you can go there just about any time. Check out their website before you go for their weekly specials or to get some recipe idea's! Oh and at this branch they have a free BBQ with the Butchers on Sunday mornings so if you want to try before you buy, plan a trip then!
