On Sunday morning, my wife & I turned up to pick up the Ham, Ducken (tried it last year & loved it), & some Christmas Chickens for ourselves & one of my sons that we had ordered online.
The service, as usual was spot on, but the reason for my email is to mention that whilst your guy went back to get the Ducken, I carried out the Ham & Chickens to my car. On the way to the car two different employees on their way to Smoko each asked me if I needed a hand, had a smile & a “Happy Christmas”, when I told them that I was fine.
I thought that their attitude & friendliness was just terrific, & it reflects the service that we have received at Yatala over the last couple of years. Please let your people know that the “service with a smile” that we always get, is very much part of the reason that we continue to deal with Super Butcher, our thanks go to them all! To you, your family & all of your staff, Have a safe & happy Christmas & a wonderful New Year.

Hi Andrew,
Gail & Myself have just returned from a 4 week holiday in your sunny state of Qld. We spent a couple of nights staying at Coomera, and while there paid a visit to your Oxenford store and purchased a quantity of meat for our youngest daughter, which was accepted with great delight.
A couple of days on, we again made a visit to your Oxenford store to purchase some meat to take to our eldest daughter at Redbank Plains. We enquired about having a leg of lamb boned and butterflied (enough for about 8 people ) so I could roast it on an Auspit setup I have. Ben, the store manager stepped up and offered to do something special for us, and this is what he did. He trimmed 2 small legs from a lamb, boned & butterflied them, then proceeded to make up a mash/marinade paste by placing in a freezer bag, a quantity of fresh rosemary leaves, about 5 cloves of garlic & a splash of rice bran oil. Ben then proceeded to pulverise this with the smooth side of his mallet. This paste was then rubbed into both the butterflied legs, and then they were placed together, rolled up tightly, and then Ben very meticulously string tied them together.
This I did on my Auspit setup over half a Toohey's keg and using mangrove root charcoal. It took 3 hours to medium and was absolutely delicious, and was I the boy of the day for the final result. (Prior to roasting the lamb on the spit, it had about 2 to 3 days to permeate the flavours of the rosemary/garlic mash)
On our way home from Qld we dropped in once again to the Oxenford store, and purchased some nice cuts of meat to transport home in our esky. Your kind staff, namely Jackie and Steve cryo-vacced our order, so water would not damage the meat while in the esky, during the 2 day trip back to Sydney. Steve, when he realised we were from Sydney went about explaining the weekend deal about to happen with the $200 boxes of high grade beef. Because we had been away and would not have got your email on this deal, we were fortunate enough to be able to secure an order over the phone while still in Oxenford. We arrived home on the Friday, and Saturday arvo the box arrived. All was good, and we sliced it all up today and labelled it etc. before placing in our freezers.
Cheers for now,
and ” Oh what a feeling “ ( oops, that’s for Toyota ) so “ Oh what a taste sensation “ might be Ok for your beef.

Hi Andrew
I have been buying your meat for a few years now and I have been lucky enough to have travelled around the world for 22 years of my life. 12 and a half years on passenger ships and 9 and a half with Qantas (steward and catering) to eat at restaurants all around the world who get awards for their service and good food.
Well that’s what I get from you except you go further. Your prices are hard to beat. Your meat is delicious, your advice is great and every week you email all your customers with the latest.
Your staff are just great even though they can’t say SIX correctly.
So I want to thank you for all the great meals I have been able to afford and also provide for my friends .
Kindest Regards
Clive

I
decided to try out
the Birkdale store
for a change. Rocked
up with the boss
on board and started
perusing the goodies.
Noticed
a cryovaced Black
Angus Blade, at
I think $7.99/Kg,
and with the permission
of the Quartermaster,
acquired it to do
some pot roasts
etc.
As
I was breaking it
up I noticed this
thing is marbled.
Sliced a couple
of steaks off the
upper trapezious
(yeah, the small
side of the blade)
and whacked them
straight in the
pan. Absolutely
tender.
Anyway,
back to the pot
roast. Decided to
do the first one
in the slow cooker.
Smothered it in
seasoned flour,
browned it on all
sides and placed
it on a bed of sliced
onions in the slow
cooker. Half filled
the cooker with
boiling water, dropped
a few rough sliced
carrots around the
sides and put it
on high.
Took
the seasoned flour
and the pan drippings
and mixed them together
over a low heat,
adding enough beef
stock (made with
a cube) to cook
the mixture to a
thick paste. Poured
this thick mixture
over the top of
the roast as a cap.
Added 1/4 cup of
worcestershire sauce
and when the cooker
reached temperature
(just bubbling)
turned it on low
and left it for
about 2 hours.
Came
back to check on
it, applied the
obligatory skewer
test and it slid
straight back out
again. The skewer
that is :-)
Wow,
it's cooked already.
Had trouble getting
it out of the cooker
with a pair of tongs
and had to put it
down quickly before
it fell apart. Used
the bar mix to blend
the juices, carrots
and onions left
in the cooker. The
cap created by the
flour mixture I
had poured on the
Black Angus Roast
had thinned down
nicely to a sauce
consistency. Set
the roast aside,
turned the cooker
back to high and
put potatoes, carrots
and sweet potatoes
(that had been par
boiled previously
on the side) in
the mixture to finish
cooking.
This
piece of beef was
a classic example
of what the Americans
call Pulled Beef.(when
the meat comes apart
with a fork). Served
with the veges from
the cooker that
had been soaking
up the juices and
green peas, the
meal was absolutley
delicious. The sauce
left in the cooker
was partially used
to mask the meal.
Back
to the problem.
You really should
label this product.
Warning:-
Exceeds expectations
:-)

Hi
just thought I d
send you a quick
note to say thank
you for all the
great specials and
your expertise in
teaching us about
our meat. Not only
are we very happy
buyers but our two
sons who moved out
together 6 months
ago only purchase
their meat from
your stores now
because it is the
only way they can
afford to eat well.
We also enjoy your
letters that always
give us a lift because
of your positive
attitude and you
always seem to make
us smile especially
when things go well
for us in the footy.
Keep up the good
work and thanks
again for making
our dollar go further.

Hi,
I would just like
to say that evertime
I come into super
butcher at Yatala
the staff there
are always very
friendly and helpful.
It is not often
that you get that
in shops these days.
I was there yesterday
and it really made
my afternoon after
being spoken
to quite rudely
at another shop
prior to coming
there.
I recommend you
to everybody.
Thanks again for
a great experience.

Hi
Andrew,
We visited your
Eagle Farm store
for the first time
today and were very
impressed. To tell
the truth, we had
no idea of what
to expect and what
we really needed
to buy. We are just
about to have our
fourth child and
thought it would
be a good idea to
buy a chest freezer
and start buying
some food (meat
in particular) in
bulk for when the
baby arrives. The
store set up was
very pleasing and
it was easy to browse
to find what we
like to eat. The
best part of the
experience was dealing
with your butcher
Greg. He was very
friendly and we
were very interested
to see how many
meal options he
could give us from
a piece of rump.
We have never bought
large pieces of
meat like this before
as we only shopped
at the local Woolworths
but we now see the
difference in quality
as well as the quantity
that we received.
Greg gave us some
really good ideas
on how to cook the
meat also which
was very welcome.
Overall we were
extremely happy
with the experience
and mostly with
Greg’s level
of service (he even
waved to us as we
drove out).
We will definitely
be returning and
telling all of our
friends and family
about your establishment.
We are actually
finding it hard
to decide what meat
to try first for
dinner.
Thanks again,
Kylie & Ian |

Hi there
I
am an email customer
of your organisation
and normally shop
at the Oxenford
store - my husband
is banned because
he
spends way too much
money!!
This
week I visited the
factory at Yatala
and wanted to let
you know how nice
an experience it
was. I had expected
maybe
a lower level of
service than normal
because it was a
factory -
but NO, that was
not the case.
From
the people who helped
me with questions
in the coolroom
to the wonderful
lady on the checkout
(I wish I had noted
her
name) it was exactly
the experience that
I normally have.
As
always, the product
was fantastic and
very well priced
and
I am busy telling
the world how great
you are as usual.
I
train people in
the retail area
- mostly supermarkets
and just
wish we could get
these people to
the level of yours.
Thanks
a million,
Sharyn. |

Hi
Andrew
So
far tried the
eye fillet five
for two deal -
Sooooo tender
and the video
on how to slice
was a great help.
Also tried the
Tasmanian Scotch
fillet first try
was MSA grass
fed around $29.99
a kg and then
tried the 5 star
at $26.99 a Kg
Grass & Grain.
The first one
got my vote and
what a great cut
of meat...
Tonight tried
rump purchased
at Eagle Farm
on Saturday. Couldn't
believe I was
eating rump such
a tasty tender
piece of meat.
A young KIWI lad
in the store helped
with the selection
and gave advice
on cutting up
(which I promptly
forgot). If he
gets a chance
to read the feedback,
I'll be looking
for his advice
again next time
excellent choice.
Looked on your
site for some
tips on cutting
rump but couldn't
find any ---maybe
some tips on cutting
rump would be
helpful. I could
get it cut at
the store, but
like to store
in the vacuum
sealed bag until
I need a feed.
I then cut it
all up and vacuum
seal in meal portions.....
Really great product
guys - keep up
the good work.....
Cheers

Hi
Andrew,
Just
a short email to
say lovely to Say
Hi to you the other
day in store. But
mostly wanted to
say you have such
a great bunch of
staff working for
you from the butchers
to the checkout
girls. They are
so passionate about
their store and
so helpful every
time I have come
into your store
at Yatala which
has been many a
time and would be
more if I had a
bigger freezer.
This time the guy
helped me pick out
the best cuts I
wanted then he cut
every thing up and
gave recipe suggestions
and bagged everything
separately for me.
It's good to see
people enjoying
their work which
of course brings
return business.
Then it was great
to try out the bbq
pork sandwiches
out the front.
You
should be proud
of all your efforts
and your staff are
just wonderful and
love the new seafood
area and love the
emails etc etc..
Regards,
Tania |

Hi
Guys,
Just wanted to relate
the fantastic value
we experienced this
week. We have been
a long time advocate
of your store and
have consumed so
very very nice products
form you. On Saturday
we thought a pork
roast would be nice
so I dashed down
to purchase a bone
out leg roast. While
I was looking around
I noticed your special
on Free range rib
fillet at only 12.99/kg.
I thought lets have
a look might make
a reasonable roast
or great stir fry.
To my amazement
there was quit a
few pieces with
reasonable degree
of marbling!!! So
I bought one,took
it home marinated
overnight in the
secret family reduction
and slow roasted
it tonight. Mate
what can I say we
have never tasted
a more tender or
juicy piece of beef
this side of the
‘Special Rib
Fillet” at
MOO MOOs. I hope
I can get back there
before you sell
out of the few other
pieces that looked
as good. Before
I marinated this
piece I did cut
a couple of steaks
so I cant wait to
try them.
FAN BLOODY TASTIC
SHEAR DINING PLEASURE
FOR $20 AMAZING>
