Not Meat
We may be a butcher’s shop and yes our focus is on meat, but it isn’t all about meat.
Local farms don’t just produce meat; there are a wide range of other products available from the animals that,
as with our meat, taste better and are better for you when they come from animals that are raised
ethically and locally.
It is also about supporting the local economy by providing you with products to enhance the delicious meat you
buy from us.
We carry eggs from hens that roam free at Bekings Poultry Farm and have
been known to have Ostrich eggs!
From Cochrane's dairy we stock 1 litre glass bottles of skimmed, 1%, 2%, homogenized and chocolate milk.
At Christmas you will also find Eggnog! If you haven't tried it come in and get some today.
We carry a wide range of cheese from various suppliers, including
Black River Cheese,
Fifth Town Artisan Cheese,
Les brebis sur le toit bleu,
Clarmell Farms pure goat cheese and
Glengarry Fine Cheese.

>> Big Python Jerk chutney
This Chutney is exceptional and totally unique. It is a blend of sweet fruits and a MILD
Caribbean Jerk Spice. In the islands, Jerk spice is often used as a paste to coat chicken and
goat before cooking so the flavours penetrate deep into the meat, it's really fantastic. That's
part of what is great about this chutney, you can still cook with it. Toss it with some chicken
wings before you bake them... it's just delicious. This chutney is also fantastic with beef,
mixed with sour cream on top of nacho's, on burgers and of course with Goat.
>> Winter Butternut and Beer chutney
Made with Beau's all natural Lug Tread Lagered Ale, roasted butternut squash and red pepper with
corn, apples and onions. The main spices are fresh ginger and turmeric. Reminiscent of an English
corn relish, it's really a great chutney for sandwiches, hot dogs, sausages and steaks.
Or even with steamed veggies, rice and just by itself on mashed potatoes.
>> North India chutney
"My Great, Great Grandfather 'The Major' discovered this authentic North India Chutney in
1884. It's marvelous flavours are a blend of sweet fruits with aromatic spices, onions, and a hint
of curry. Our family has enjoyed it for over 125 years with every thing from grilled meats, chicken,
burgers, mixed into stews and sauces to spoonfuls on top of hot scones. Cooking can be an art form,
Use your imagination and add some 'WOW' to your next meal."
