Meat At Billy's
Ashgrove
Updated: Jan 26, 2026
Customers come from far and wide to shop at Ashgrove’s Meat at Billy’s – and for good reason. The award-winning butcher is second to none when it comes to quality of meat, diverse range of products, knowledgeable staff and good old-fashioned service.
Since opening his first store in Ashgrove in 2009, Billy has not only built a staunchly loyal customer base and something of a mini-meat-empire but established his business as something of a community pillar, lending support to all kinds of local groups and causes.
More than a butcher shop, Meat at Billy’s stocks a wide range of compatible foodstuffs and products, including local cellar door Clovely Estate Wines. Some, like the JackaLope Slow Food rubs, are made by one of Billy's butchers and even the honey is produced from beehives on the rooftop of the shop.
Otherwise all products sold at the shop are carefully sourced from local independent producers and small scale farms.
Billy’s butchers are big fans of and experts on and the low and slow-cooked BBQ method of meat cooking (charcoal/smoked), so here’s the place to find American style cut ribs including pork belly and St Louis ribs as well as must try Wagyu sirloin rib fillets and Cape Grim Beef Short Ribs. You can also buy bags of smoking chips and charcoal to ensure they are cooked to perfection.
Dry aged beef is another house specialty, with Meat at Billy’s latest creation the dry aged beef burger. Popular with punters are the exotic sausages, such as North African Lamb Merguez, Truffled Pork & Porcini Mushroom, Thai Green Chicken Curry or Lamb, Fig and Walnut.
Meat at Billy’s is also known for its ready made, easy to cook gourmet dinners – think Salt Bush lamb Leg, Lemon and Garlic Chicken Roast, Lebanese Lamb Kofta Kebabs, Yakitori Pork and Cherry Tomato skewers, Chicken Kilpatrick or delicious stir fries like Pork and Honey.
Shelves are lined with all manner of pantry items such as wasabi Mustard, Chipotle or Red Onion Jam, Handcrafted Maple Syrup, Picklehead Pickles, Blend Smoked Honey, Dr Kim’s Fermented Kimchi, Kosher Salt and Cous Cous.
This is also the place to pick up hard-to-find stuff like Honeycomb Tripe, Corned Wagyu Silverside, Goat Loin and Rack, Lamb Brains, Spatchcock, Haggis and Black or White Pudding, and deli items such as Farmhouse terrine, Prosciutto, pancetta, marinated feta, Truffle salami, pate and Poached Pear Rillette.
