  Family run business and best organic sausages in town. Sam and his team have been consistent in providing top quality organic meat for year and years. My kids love the rissoles, sausages and marinated chicken. We don’t go anywhere else.

  Absolutely love shopping at Sam's. The quality of the meat is consistently excellent, fresh, and reasonably priced for the quality you get. Sam and the team are always happy to recommend the best cuts or cooking tips. It’s becoming harder to find genuine local businesses with this level of service and care. Highly recommend their steaks, marinated meats, and BBQ packs. A real local gem in Bondi!

  I have been reading some of the negative reviews here and wanted to share my experience. I have been ordering meat from here for a few years now. My first delivery didn't go well because it was stuck with the delivery company for a couple of days and was over 20 degrees by the time it reached me. Sam then actually came and delivered a replacement personally which I was not expecting at all. Since then every interaction has been good - the only thing is communication about missing items or sometimes if something is underweight, so I do need to double check. But when I email them, it is added to the next order. Pretty much all the meat has been good and if something isn't right, I email them and make a note in my next order and it's replaced. For bones, offal and things to make broth, the products are excellent value and some of the cheaper cuts like lamb rosettes are so delicious slow cooked. Recently tried the duck confit - delicious! The delivery company maybe isn't the best tbf but since I am Sydney based, things always arrive next day and are still well chilled. I will keep ordering from here, good selection of meat and good quality.

  As a customer of Sam the Butcher for over five years, and someone who has acquired a taste for ethically-raised, organic and grass-feed meats, in my opinion, hands down, Sam the Butcher has a selection of the tastiest organic, grass-fed, and free-range beef, lamb and poultry in Australia, and, at a great price compared to the range of organic and grass-feed meats offered by supermarket chains. Flavour: As for Sam’s sausages - the flavours can't be explained in words! I haven't tasted meat (e.g. fast-food, fine-dining, supermarket or butcher) in the same universe of flavour and texture as Sam's legendary sausages! The one and a half hour long drive to Bondi proves that no journey is too far when it comes to good sausages. Benefits of Organic Meat: Research shows that organic meat is good for people and the planet. Choosing organic is especially important because meat production can have cascading effects on human health, animal welfare, and the environment. Scientific literature confirms that organic standards followed by organic meat producers result in: ● Greater nutritional benefits in organic meat - more good omega-3 fatty acids, less cholesterol, and more antioxidants; ● A lower risk of exposure to antibiotics, growth hormones and pesticides; and ● Fewer negative effects on the environment and less of a contributor to climate change. Sources of Livestock: Sam knows how and where the livestock is raised and slaughtered. Eating meat that has been carefully sourced from certified farms that prioritise animal welfare not only provides ethical satisfaction compared with eating traditional, cruelly treated, nutritionally depleted mass-farmed meat, but it also shows in the quality, texture, and rich, natural flavour of Sam's meats. Every bite exceeds my high expectations of taste. Cruelty Can Be Tasted: How livestock is raised does affect the flavour. Some people who have an acquired taste for ethically-raised, organic and grass-fed meats can literally taste the cruelty of industrial-scale factory farm livestock operations, which raise huge numbers of cattle, poultry, pigs, etc., in confined, inhumane, disease-infested conditions for low-cost, high-volume meat. Because animals are often distressed before being slaughtered, they release adrenaline, which uses up glycogen. As a result, lactic acid, which keeps meat tender and flavorful, is not produced after they die. When it's missing, meat tends to be tougher, have less taste and go off faster. Harms of Factory Farming: Industrial-scale factory farm livestock operations create ideal conditions for the emergence and rapid spread of disease, including avian flu. High-density confinement, genetic uniformity, and poor air quality weaken birds’ immune systems and enable viruses to mutate and transmit quickly. Unlike in natural settings, where biodiversity and space act as buffers against disease, factory farms concentrate thousands or even millions of animals in close quarters, amplifying viral loads and increasing the risk of spillover to wild birds and even humans. What You Are Really Eating: The benefits of nutrient-dense diets high in meat and fat (so-called ancestral or animal-based keto diets) collapses when those foods carry residues of antibiotics, growth promoters, beta agonists, antiparasitics, synthetic preservatives, processing aids, arsenicals, cocciodiostats, and pesticides. Many of these toxins accumulate precisely in the fats and organs often celebrated as nutrient-rich.

  Bought some pork sausages here today and they were definitely stale. I could not eat them. The shop had a terrible smell and when I opened the packet there was a strong stench. Really disappointing and the service in the shop was also not good. Would not recommend at all, go to Woolies instead!
