Hudson Meats

Like many of the top butchers in town, they’re all about ‘paddock to plate’, working with suppliers and farmers to bring you everything from Tasmania’s Cape Grim grass-fed beef to Byron Bay’s Black Berkshire pork. It’s a high-end yet accessible shop with knowledgeable staff. Shelves and tables showcase grocery items that go well with your meat buys (things like fresh lemons, mustards and small-batch barbecue sauces) and polished concrete floors give the space an industrial-chic edge. Grass-fed beef is always in stock and sits alongside things like local lamb chops, finely ground house-made Toulouse sausages and ready-to-cook things like prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts, which make the perfect mid-week dinner. Game like quail, duck and venison and offal like Haggis are available if you give them a few days of notice. If you’re tight on time, shop online and opt for home delivery.
