3 strikes and your out...bought some mince ,put it in my fridge for couple days. Gone off like I'd left in there for a month.It looked ok until I started cooking it and the smell was putrid . Got some chicken fillets looked OK,same in fridge for a day ,they looked ok cooked them they tasted off. Last one... lamb chops , froze them because I wasn't ready to cook .Went off in the freezer. The meat turned brown. I could smell them off from the freezer! Thats a first.I have never in 30 years had meat go off in the freezer 😒 What CHEMICALS are you putting on them so they appear good on purchase then keep in fridge for a day and I may as well have stored the meats outside in the sun. The only decent stuff is there freezer products. What a waste of money. Someonetimes things happen but I don't think this is a coincidence. I'd rather pay more somewhere else where the meat is edible, and frankly its not that much cheaper when you need to to throw most of...
Read moreI have used Tasman butchers for my stock bones a couple of times. They are fairly good on price and normally the staff are friendly.
Today when I asked the lady behind the butchery counter if she could cut my bones a certain way, she look at me like I had asked her to perform open heart surgery. (Not very friendly)
Then the guy on the band saw started cutting the marrow bones (beef shin/thigh) with the plastic on. I had to shout at him to stop and unwrap the two bones before cutting. I do not want to ingest small pieces of cling wrap.
I hope they don’t apply the same attitude to the rest of their products.
This level of customer service is lazy and does not help the reputation of the business.
My brother was a butcher for 20 odd years and I butcher my own lambs.
Not very impressed.
Good...
Read moreCame here for the first time and found it fabulous. The range of meat is excellent, the cuts are good and the prices extremely competitive. We bought some scotch fillets that we had for dinner and they were superb, probably one of the best Ive ever had - lean and good flavour. Whether its chicken, pork, lamb, beef, cured meats or sausages - you`ll find it here This place also has bulk pasta in the refrigeration section along with nice pastry items, frozen pizzas, chips and more. There are condiments such as apple sauce and chutneys and dry goods like pasta and lentils. Fresh bread at the door. Even continental chocolates. Staff were very helpful. Good parking out the front. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. This place is a must over a supermarket and highly recommend...
