In an era where every supermarket retail chain also thinks they are a butcher and a baker, survival, let alone growth as a small family business can feel unattainable, and yet here we are, voted by you as the best butchery in the north Durban area. This is such a point of pride for us. To be here, serving our customers nearly 4 decades on from when we first opened our doors, is a privilege that we do not take lightly. That is why you are always guaranteed the freshest selection, from farm to table and why you can trust us to deliver that goodness chop-chop too, if you prefer.

For those that haven’t discovered us yet. We’re just around the corner. We specialise in biltong (we have been told by many reputable sources AKA our customers that it is the best out there), smoked meats, cold meats, fresh meats, in fact, all the meats and we can’t wait to meat, hang on sorry, MEET you too.
