Our paddock to your plate

One of the oldest butchery sites in the country, back in the family.

There has been a butcher on the corner of Rathmore and Church streets since the late 1800s. In 2024 we reopened it as Cloudy Peaks Butchery, bringing an independent butcher back to a shop the neighbourhood has trusted for generations. Our beef comes off our own farm, Cloudy Peaks Station, so paddock to plate is not a slogan, it is how the meat gets to your kitchen.

No added hormones. Cut and trimmed by hand. And every raffle we run on the counter puts a little back into local charities and fundraisers.

What we cut, smoke and roll each week.

    Fresh cuts off our own farm, Cloudy Peaks Station. No added hormones, aged and trimmed by hand.

    Made in-store daily. Beef blue cheese, cheeseburger, pork and pineapple and more, ready for the pan.

  • Flavoured rolled chicken

    Boneless rolled chicken in four house flavours: Chinese, double smoke, sage and onion, Moroccan.

  • Smoked and double-smoked meats

    Low and slow on our own smoker. Rich, honest flavour you cannot buy off a supermarket shelf.

A local butcher who actually knows your cut.

Walk in and you will get a straight answer: what is good this week, how to cook it, and the right cut for what you are making. That is the difference our regulars talk about, and it is why the reviews keep mentioning the service as much as the meat.

A note from the builder

Like it? It is yours.

I am Si from ProperSites. I build a real, working site for a business before I ever pitch it, so what you are looking at is the actual thing, made for Cloudy Peaks Butchery, not a template with your name dropped in or a quote for something that does not exist yet.

The site is yours to keep. It is was $997 $697 to make it live on your own domain, then $49 a month just keeps it hosted and looked after. Month to month, never a lock-in, and if you ever leave you take the site with you. Most builders are the opposite: stop paying and your site disappears. Not here.
