Our Meat

Wagyu Beef

We specialise in sourcing the highest-grade Japanese and Australian Wagyu, with marble scores from MB3 to MB9, all synonymous with luxury and superior flavour. It's the exceptional marbling and unique mouthfeel that creates a distinct and memorable eating experience. Wagyu is no longer considered only for restaurant menus; it has become a norm in the home cook repertoire.

Lamb

We only supply the highest quality ‘new season’ lamb, having spent their lives out on lush pasture, so you can rely on enjoying that wonderful incomparable lamb tenderness and a delicious light flavour. Where possible, we use a ‘farm direct’ approach - we know exactly where our lamb has grown and produced. However, as demand for lamb is high all year round, we partner with some larger grass-fed producers, whose quality control on ethical and sustainable farming is second to none.

Pork

We hand-pick our trusted premium Pork producers from Gippsland and South Australia in order to procure the highest quality female pork, all sow-stall free. We are proud to be suppliers of quality meats from well cared for animals and supporting producers adopting ways to manage biodiversity farming. We also source superior Berkshire free range pork from a network of family-run farms who raise their pigs without cages or fixed sheds and the farms are completely chemical free.

Chicken

All of our chicken (free range and non-free range chicken) is sourced from one the best chicken producers in Australia - Hazeldene’s. Based in Bendigo and dating back to 1938, Hazeldene’s are a family owned and run business. The chickens are fed the highest quality multigrain diet and this is reflected in the amazing eating quality of the birds.

Grass Fed

Our grass fed beef range features cattle that have spent their entire life grazing pastures. The taste from grass-fed beef is a richer, more complex, earthy flavour with a slightly yellowish fat colour due to an absorbed pigment from the grass called carotene. We work with leading producers such as Southern Ranges to provide us with the highest quality grass fed beef.

Grain Fed

Gamekeepers work closely with local and leading feedlots who help ensure our grain fed beef is exceptional. A feedlot is a managed facility where cattle are provided a balanced and nutritious diet for the purpose of producing beef of a consistent high quality. Some breeds of cattle, such as wagyu, are fed grain in order to enhance marbling. Grain fed beef tends to have more marbling than grass fed beef, resulting in a more buttery flavour, and the fat is pure white.

Dry ageing

Dry-aged meat is considered a gastronomical treat, we supply some of Melbourne & Victoria's finest restaurants and gastro pubs. We have built a state of the art dry-ageing facility and only the very best quality of grass-fed beef, free-range pork, grass-fed lamb and corn-fed duck will be hand selected. The dry-ageing process intensifies the flavour and tenderness of the meat.

Game Meat

We started our business as game specialists, and our passion for finding new and emerging trends in this space hasn't wavered since. With an extensive list of products from rabbit, venison, hare, crocodile, buffalo, kangaroo, quail, wild boar, pheasant, partridge and guinea fowl. We only partner with suppliers who harvest with the upmost respect and care.

Poultry

Our ducks are sourced through the leading and primary ethical farming producer in Victoria, with the highest certifications for animal welfare. Our turkeys’ are from Numurkah Turkeys, grown locally right here in Victoria.

Veal

Veal has been treasured for centuries for its delicious, succulent flavour, and this is true for the pasture-raised veal we source. Exceptionally tender, akin to a beef flavour, but is leaner and delicate. You are spoilt for choice with veal cutlets, osso bucco, scallopini, sausages and veal stocks on offer.

Our products can offer the curious home cook the opportunity to experiment with the wide range of our prime cuts of offal that are now incredibly trendy and immensely good for you. We believe in preserving minimal waste as a business and for both the restaurant and animals.

Small goods

Smallgoods typically means "processed meats". However, for Gamekeepers, it means there is a team of highly skilled butchers working with authentic ingredients, brining, curing, 3-times-smoking, and dry-aging, to bring you a wide range of fresh, supernormal, packs-a-punch in flavour goodies for you to slice and devour at home.
