The Meatery

There are only two words to describe The Meatery on Mosque Junction in the Mid Levels, «Oh, yeah!».
As the name would suggest, they sell meat and lots of it. But this isn’t the stuff you get in Park n Shop which seems to come from questionable farms in China. This is the finest organic meats, primarily from Oz and NZ.
In terms of the raw meats selection, The Meatery have meat cuts, as well as sausages and burgers, hand-​made in store. They are also a full service carvery, deli and bakery, so as well as the best in raw meats, you can get cooked meals like pies, stews and kebabs, breads, and wines, beers and ciders.
A few other nice touches include their gift card options (I suppose for the man who already has everything), their «meatmaster» loyalty programme, and also their delivery options via Cuisine Courier.
It is a bit pricey, but you are paying for absolute quality, in both the meats, the meals, and the advice dispensed by the extremely knowledgable staff. The location is a little out of the way up on Mosque Junction, but this is definitely the perfect place to come if you are planning BBQ.

The fantastic range of sausages at The Meatery puts frozen supermarket sausages to shame. In fact, all of the meat is fantastic but extremely expensive — expect to pay in the region of $ 1200 for a rack of pork to serve four. Ouch! The quality is uncompromising however and the staff can recommend the best way to cook it up if you are unsure. They will even hand make you burgers if you like and the results are delicious.
The Meatery also sell ready to go meals ranging from hearty beef bourguignon to shepherds pie — comfort food is most definitely their forte! The meals are great for grabbing on the way home on the escalator and are probably the closest you’ll come to a home cooked meal from the Mid Levels/​Soho takeaway world but, again, the food doesn’t come cheap! Expect to pay from $ 119 up for a portion for one — only marginally cheaper than dining in a restaurant.
If you can afford it after your meat purchase, the Meatery also stocks wine, beer and a couple of lovely ciders. The staff are friendly and the shop front is an adorable and colourful addition to Mosque Street. If it weren’t for the prices, I’d buy my meat here every time
Frustratingly, the opening hours seem dependent on staff vacations so don’t bet on being able to pick up your Sunday roast that day — I’ve happily shopped at The Meatery one Sunday only to find the place in darkness the following week..
