Meet the team bringing real, old-world skill back to the Belconnen community.

At Market Meats, we believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way. Since our original shop opened its doors in 1984, we have remained committed to the art of traditional, independent butchery. Today, from our home in the heart of the Capital Food Market, our team brings over 60 years of combined experience to the block every single day.

We are proud to be one of the few remaining strictly traditional butcher shops. Unlike modern setups that simply open boxes of pre-cut meat, we process whole carcasses right here on-site. This "whole body butchery" philosophy allows us to respect the entire animal, reduce waste, and offer our customers a level of quality, freshness, and variety that supermarket shelves simply cannot match.
