Butchers Geelong & the Surf Coast
Butchery is one of the world’s oldest and respected professions. Dating back to the domestication of livestock, butchers formed guilds in England as far as 1272 and over the years became the cornerstone of every neighbourhood shopping strip.
In more recent times, butchers have faced challenges of large supermarket chains selling meat produce at low costs, but with people becoming more aware of what they eat and wanting locally sourced foods, the local butcher is gaining popularity once again.
In Geelong and along the Surf Coast, we are fortunate to have a wide range of Butcher Shops to choose from. So if you’re wanting personal service and a local expert who can recommend the right meat cuts, a range of recipes and the right wine to accompany your meal, then look no further!
