Edge Hill Butchery

Having used Edge Hill Butchery for years, the consistency and quality of there produce is second to none. Nat and the friendly team are nothing short of outstanding when it comes to service and have gone above and beyond every time I have visited.

Without a doubt the best butchers in Cairns. Everyone is so welcoming and able to provide advice, which has helped make some incredible dished. The quality of everything they sell is always 100% and with the staff being so friendly, I won't go anywhere else.

Great butchery, great service, we were going to the old tel track and they packed, cryovac and froze all the meat for us. Highly recommend

We chanced upon the this butcher shop while walking around town and decided to pop in. Inside we found a treasure trove for meat lovers. Each cut of meat was tantalizing and scrumptious. Whichever way you want to dream to eat your meat they have it prepared for you. They have the finest cuts of every protein imaginable and if you wish to splurge they have a dry age meat refrigerator with supreme cuts. The shop offers chutneys and sauces galore to pair with the meats and a nice selection of spirits. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. When people are really passionate about their business it shows in every little detail from whimsical decore to a clever butcher cleaver handle on the front door. Apparently this butcher shop is recognized in the industry, you will see plenty awards lining their walls as a testament to their excellence. For the record I am a vegetarian but I was with two hard core carnivores who kept salivating like Labradors and plotting their next purchase. We will be back.

By far the best butchers I’ve been to. Friendly staff, beautiful fresh meat and the range to choose from is phenomenal. Can’t recommend this butchery enough. And no we arnt local, just travellers so this review isn’t biased. Cheers

Bought 3 cape grim eye fillets. Some of the best steaks I've ever had and definitely the best home-cooked I've made. Not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for!

Friendly staff and a wide range of products to choose from. Highly recommended if you are looking for quality meat.

The mouth waters just going into the shop, so many top grade cuts/brands to choose from with a price range for everyone. They also have their own range of award winning snags which are sensational and to top it off the staff are all super knowledgeable and delightful to deal with. I have not found a better butchers in cairns, try them I guarantee you will enjoy your experience.

To be able to buy good quality meat and products helping small businesses all cross Australian they our support

I have been working with rod and Julie for the last few seasons on my high end charter operation out of cairns and I can honestly say they are by far the best butcher in Aus…. Every season my guests comment on how unbelievable the produce is in which we are able to serve onboard all supplied exclusively by the edge hill butchery!

If I could give 10 stars I would!

WOW What a butcher with outstanding customer service and friendly vibes. The shop is absolutely spectacular and it has to be one of the best looking butchers I've walked into, they have such a great range of meats with plenty of tasty options to satisfy!
It was worth the hour on foot, I'd do it again! Thank you Nat for your generous lift back, it is so warming to meet such kind people of our trip!

Great butcher in Cairns I was fortunate to stumble across when on holiday. Bought some sausages and flank steaks (which he trimmed up) that were outstanding.
Butcher really knows his stuff and has quality meats equal to what you will find at the top butchers in any major city.

Love the service and the advice on cooking of certain cuts of meat from staff. Best meat in Cairns. The Cape Grim just melts in your mouth.

Just one visit here and taste the results when you cook, you soon realise why people rave about the meats from Edge Hill Butchery. I heard, they'll even pack bulk orders and send em to the Cape.

Easily the best butcher in cairns! Not just becuase of their fantastic meat but the staff are amazing. Nat always has a smile on her face and will always go the extra mile to help out.

My mate wanted me to smoke some brisket for a gathering, so I told him to get a 2-3kg point end brisket. He ordered it over the phone and the butcher 'cut to order'. This is the 'wagyu' point end that he came back with.

In case you don't know. This isn't point end. This is a flat. It also definitely doesn't look like wagyu, but he was definitely charged for wagyu.

Pretty disappointing that a high end butcher would take advantage of someone that doesn't know their cuts or quality.
I wanted to go back with him to return it, but we didn't have the time.

Definitely won't be recommending anyone else to them

I remember the day. I remember like it was yesterday.

It was a muggy Thursday morning in Cairns.

My day began like all the rest.

I wondered how I got here? Middle aged. Going through the motions of life.

I used to want more. I used to be spontaneous. I used to go out, meet people.

Now. I seemingly live my life in fear

". A life lived in fear, is a life half lived. " echoed in the back of my mind as I envision watching Strictly Ballroom from our dated loungeroom as a child.

Thats when I saw it.

Edge Hill Butcher.

I walked in.and was overcome with an unfamiliar feeling.calm

The worker behind the counter welcomed me. She was a far cry from butchers I'd met in years past. Big and burly. With handlebar moustaches. I imagine they spent their weeknights at locals pubs and had names like Dave, Wazza and Nicko. Trading sausages for cartons of beer.

No.this woman was kinder. Gentler. She was patient and answered my fumbling questions about costs and ingredients.

And slowly.with each answer she gave, I felt it.the fear. The fear was gone.

I don't remember her name.

I don't remember what I bought.

But I'll never forget that day.

The day Edge Hill butchers changed my life.

Nice sausages. Lamb average you have to buy an entire 4 kg shoulder if you want the bone. Never buy the goat meat half fat paid $23 for fat. Very disappointed feel ripped off.

Amazing meat. The Cape Grim Eye Fillets are sensational and restaurant quality. Combine this with exceptional service and you have a business that outshines any other. Well done Rod and Julie.

Absolutely Brilliant! A most excellent selection of meats and fowls and the staff are wonderful. They know their cuts and will help with questions if you don't know stuff.
10/10 would recommend. So delicious.
