Bennet's Butchery Melbourne

Just to let you know we’re closed Tuesday, November 5, for the Cup Day public holiday.

If you need any supplies for the weekend, please put an order in or swing by and see what’s cooking.

It’s shaping up to be a great weekend! Stay safe and see you soon.

Happy weekend everyone! If you’re looking for a little cooking project, then how about a pork belly?

These succulent cuts are just the ticket to a fantastic dinner and are incredibly versatile.

They work well roasted or slow-cook for a super tasty meal with whatever aromatics take your fancy. Plus it’s fun to play around with crackle!

Tempted? See you soon!

It’s a bit of a rainy old weekend, and that calls for a roast! Actually, we don’t need an excuse to put a roast on because they’re a winner all year round.

Chicken wins the versatility award - hot, cold, summer, winter, it doesn’t matter because it goes with everything.

We’ve got whole birds in store, plus marinated and butterflied versions to make your life just a little bit easier.

We’re open weekends until 2pm for your next cooking project. See you soon!

We're excited to be supporting Balwyn Evergreen Centre's Information Expo with our never-fail barbecue sausages!

If you're in the neighbourhood tomorrow from 11am-2pm, and are keen to find out about services available for older people, then make sure you drop in!

And don't forget to grab a sausage!

We’re assuming you’ve dusted off your barbecue by now… which leads us to what to put on it!

This week’s suggestion is the trusty skewer. We’ve got plenty of varieties to suit just about anyone, and there’s no better way to cook them than on your trusty outdoor grill.

This isn’t to say they’re not super easy to cook in the pan, it’s just less fun that way!

Drop in and see for yourself - we’re loaded up for the weekend!

How is it that we’re at term 4 already? Good luck with all the return-to-school prep and for everyone with exams coming up!

We’ve got plenty of meal options in-store - sandwich fillers, easy meals, breakfast/lunch/dinner… you name it!

The aim of the game is to make your life easier - even if it’s just to say hello.

Have a great weekend!

Good news folks! We’re open tomorrow for the Grand Final Eve public holiday from 8am-1pm 🙌

Get a jump on your weekend prep with our trading window of opportunity!

We’re open Saturday and Sunday as usual, so make sure you drop in and tell us all about your long weekend and your picks for the GF 🏆

See you soon!

Happy school holidays, everyone!

Now, we know it can be hard to muster the will to cook over the break, so we’ve made it super easy for you with our range of chef-made ready meals!

From pies, to lasagne, to Bolognese… all you need to do is heat, serve and enjoy. Maybe whip up a salad on the side, or not… no judgement here!

Plus, if you’re heading away, these meals are great to stick in the fridge at your destination and it saves you from eating out all the time!

Drop in over the weekend to see what we have in stock. If it’s not there, let us know, and our obliging chefs will gladly add it to their list.

See you soon!

It’s always a wonderful day in our neighbourhood, especially with Spring working its magic!

Swing by and see for yourself, and grab something special for dinner while you’re at it. We’ve got plenty to choose from!

Have a great weekend!

Shout out to the Boroondara Netball Association, which is wrapping up its season this weekend!

We’re proud to sponsor this fantastic, grass-roots organisation and keep them supplied with sausages for their barbecue. Keep up the good work and see you next season!

Happy Father’s Day to our wonderful community. Have a fantastic day however you choose to spend it.

PS we’re open until 2pm for any last-minute special dinners. 👍

Hot tip for Father’s Day… steak!

Socks are good, but steak is better… like this cracking ribeye pictured… that’s an excellent way to let Dad know you love him!

Drop in over the weekend to check out all the other ways…

See you soon!

So, you know we’re more than a butcher’s shop… we also have a fantastic range of pantry items and condiments. Leanne has spent a lot of time curating this collection!

The latest is this beautiful ground coffee, direct from Uganda. The slogan is ‘Have a coffee. Transform a life’, meaning buying a bag of this specialty coffee helps support people in Gulu, Uganda via the Wajoli Foundation.

If you’re wondering about the colourful totes pictured, they’re also for sale and help support the cause.

We’re looking forward to the Maling Road Auto Classico 2024 this Sunday from 10am-3pm!

It’s always a fantastic community display - come along and get amongst it!

And it wouldn’t be a community event without a BBQ - we’ll be on the street with our famous snags! See you there!

PS, how fantastic is this original artwork by Gay Dutton?!

Here’s Rik with some of our homemade sausages destined for a fundraising BBQ. In this case for the Camberwell Dragons 14.1 Boys trip to the Foot Locker Under 14 Club Championship.

Also shout out to the legends at Bread Street for coming to the party because, as we all know, it’s just not a sausage sizzle without fresh bread!

We’re always happy to help out the community with their fundraising efforts. Please reach out if you’ve got something coming up!

In case you missed it, we, along with most of Maling Rd, will be closed this weekend for the filming of a movie.

BUT, we’re popping up at 109 Bulleen Rd, Balwyn North, on Saturday from 8am-2pm with our home-cooked range.

If we don’t see you during the week, please drop in and see us on Saturday in Balwyn North.

Our meals overlooking Maling Rd from their vantage position in the window.

They’re the perfect antidote to the ‘what’s for dinner' conundrum - pictured here are our lasagne, and individual pies (chicken or beef).

If you need some inspo, swing by and our friendly team will help you out.

See you soon!

As much as the wind tried, it couldn’t keep people away!

Plenty of our customers braved the cold to come and see us… and stock up on their favourites in the process.

It’s all part of living in Melbourne and Maling Rd, in particular, bustles all year around.

Swing by this weekend - we’d love to see you!

Our deli window is chocka full of all the good stuff, including handy sandwich fillers for the back-to-schoolers!

Stars of the show are our house-smoked ham, bacon, cabana and franks!

Swing by our neck of the woods this weekend to grab a few supplies - we’re open until 2pm Sat/Sun.

See you soon!

Pulled pork is a triple threat of a dish, especially if you have a bit of time.

👉 It’s a project dish that you can spend time crafting while still being low maintenance, it’s a guaranteed winner with the whole family, and there are generally plenty of leftovers so you’ve got an extra meal or two nailed!

Really, what better time than school holidays to give this a go?

👍 We’ve got plenty of boneless pork shoulders in store, which make the best pulled pork!

🍽 Here’s a simple recipe to get you started (which includes ideas for leftovers): https://www.pork.com.au/recipe/easy-slow-cooker-pulled-pork/4397/

See you soon!

Check out our house-made Frankfurters! Smoked to perfection and containing only the good stuff, they’re a definite winner of a dinner.

We’ve road-tested these with some of our junior customers and the consensus is a big thumbs up!

They’re super easy to prepare - just drop them into a pot of boiling water (low rolling boil) for a few minutes to heat them through. Then enjoy with fresh bread and whatever toppings take your fancy!

If you’re looking for an easy school holiday meal that doubles as an outing, swing by and see us!

We’re loving the colours of Maling Rd.

Melbourne might like a darker palette, but the leafy east seems to buck the trend.

It’s uplifting and a great conversation starter on a dull winter’s day.

We’re open all weekend if you want to swing by for a chat 🙂.

One of our all-time favourite meals is the humble Chicken Schnitzel. It’s always a winner of a dinner no matter who you’re cooking for.

Serve with a simple salad or veg, or try a schnitty sanga for a more hands on approach.

For the red meat enthusiasts, we’ve also got Beef Schnitzel, and both versions crisp up a treat.

So… who’s hungry?

How’s everyone feeling? Under the weather? The winter bugs are certainly having a day out this year!

If you’re fit enough to venture out, we recommend heading our way.

We’ve got plenty of options for you to whip up a nourishing elixir of a soup, or hearty stew, or delicious roast… mmmm so many fantastic proteins that you can pair with a mountain of vege to give your immune system a boost.

Stay warm!
