Despite many fuel price increases, Meat Online has not raised its delivery charge to our customers for a number of years. Unfortunately, we have had to contend with massive cumulative increases, so we have no choice but to raise our delivery fee to R150. If your order is more than R1000, then delivery will be free of charge. We hope you agree that the convenience of receiving our meat delivered to your door, along with the great price and outstanding quality will more than compensate.
Should you wish to do so, you are more than welcome to collect from our premises in Edenvale at no charge.

Celebrity chef Curtis Stone and his brother, Luke, have opened Gwen, a restaurant and butcher shop in Los Angeles featuring Australian Blackmore Wagyu steak.
