Whole Beast Butchery

Literally the best butchers out there. Everything I’ve taken home from Wholebeast has been exceptional. Their product, service and old school butcher mentality really sets this place apart from the rest. Marcus and is wife Amina are highly skilled and passionate about what they do and always have a good banter with me when I come in to see them.

Marcus is an absolute legend and his meat is on effing point. Always there with a smile, a tip on how to cook what can be intimidating slabs of meat (should probably ask for some food photography tips too) and happy to cut to order.
What more could you want from the friendly local butcher?

Best meat you can get! Lovely and knowledgeable staff too. Recently did an assortment of sausages for a BBQ which were a massive hit. Someone even said these sausages were life changing and I agree.

Seriously good. If you're serious about food, Marcus is your man. Well sourced and aged collection of the most extraordinary meats. The fridge, freezer and preserves sections are an added bonus! Such a delight every visit.

Great new butcher in the area, have seen him before in Waterloo and was very impressed at how polite and forthcoming with information he was. Great to have you in the neighborhood. The advice on slow cooking some neck was amazing, thanks

One of the best local butchers in Sydney. Seriously incredible cuts and very fairly priced!!

Absolutely the best butchers you will ever go to. Marcus is incredibly passionate about all the meat he sells and will go above and beyond not only in finding out what your looking to make and suggesting what cut of meat would be the best option, but also in giving advice on how to cook it and alternative cuts you could try if you like the end outcome.

Almost all the meat is dry aged and the flavour is just through the roof. Be sure to cruise down on a Saturday morning before lunch and grab one of their ultra tasty Saturday offerings - always changing and always mouthwatering.

Given the quality of both the meat and service, I don't think I could ever go to another butcher.

Marcus and his team are doing a great job offering high-quality produce to the Marrickville community. I've done several large cuts from here on the BBQ and they are always incredible. Get him to butterfly you a leg of lamb for the BBQ and life will be good. The range of home made pickles is fabulous and there are always interesting new products to try! Thanks team and keep up the great work.

Amazing service and quality. Very reasonably priced. Marcus takes the time to give you recommendations how to cook the meat and best cuts for your recipes. Also have an excellent range of condiments.

Top quality butcher with local shop vibes in Marrickville. Everything I've had from here has been delicious and the customer service has been next level!
The owner (I think) is very helpful and knowledgeable and can even help with cooking tips and makes great recommendations depending on occasion/amount of people etc.

Marcus and his team are absolute legends..the quality of meat is unbelievable,do yourself a favour and get some beef mince and there in house Bolognese sauce best Bolognese you will ever have!!

Upsides: 1) very friendly owner who will have a chat with you and explain what cuts of meat are suitable for your purposes, 2) very high-quality meat, including fantastic dry-aged steaks and a delicious range of sausages.

Downsides: 1) very expensive, so much so that I've been forced to find another butcher (take this with a grain of salt, I'm a student so probably have a lower budget than most), 2) the place seems to run out of certain cuts (grain of salt also required here - the last time I visited was pretty close to closing-time, and I think most butchers run out of certain cuts by the end of the day).

I'll give the place 5 stars because for most people, this will be an excellent choice of butcher, but as I said, the price really is a dealbreaker for me.

Before they sadly switched to feeding their animals soy, the most amazing meat I'd ever tasted was in Argentina. This butchery more than matches that. Bespoke cuts. Superb service. With fantastic condiments to match. What a wonderful arrival for Marrickville!

Beautiful dry aged steak at great prices for the quality of the cuts. If you know what you're doing when it comes to cooking steak; this is the place to go.

Marcus also gives away lots of left over bones for your furry friends, so be sure to pick some up :)

Below is a pic of a 2kg Tbone that I flame grilled from there. Soooo good!

I love this place. It makes me happy. The meat is always on point. Marcus always gives me advice on how to cook. Makes for the most delicious meaty dinners ever. Best butcher I've been to!

First time shopper but I’ll be back. The dry aged sirloin steaks I purchased yesterday were perfect.

A fantastic butchery in the middle of Potts Point. The dry aged steak is exceptional. A great selection of charcuterie. The made in house rilette, pate, black pudding and terrine are delicious. The bacon and sausages are also fantastic... Actually it's all really good! The owner, Marcus, is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

By far, the most incredible butcher we have ever been to!!! It’s so cliche but you really get what you pay for. Not only is Marcus knowledgeable, his energy is so uplifting for the soul, and he takes the time to ask you what you’re cooking and recommends cuts of meat and tips accordingly. It’s wonderful to support a small business who takes so much pride in their food, and knowing everything about their animals.
Be open minded, and allow Marcus to recommend what is going to be the most delicious, fresh, and clean tasting meat you will ever have! His honesty is a breath of fresh air!
Also, we can’t cook Ragu alla napoletana or Bulalo (beef osso bucco soup) without his meat ever again!
Thank you so much!!!!

I'm so glad this bloke decided to set up shop in Marrickville. I've been waiting a long time for a great local butcher. I've been there three times so far - had three different species. Great meat every time. I like the consultative approach i.e. standing in front of the fridge with the butcher having a chat about my dinner plans. And getting cooking tips written down on paper is gold.

I don't eat meat often, but when I do, I save it for cuts from Whole Beast. So glad to have discovered this local butcher. Seasoned just with salt, the aged funk flavour of the rib eye and lamb cuts is spot-on and leaves a real impression. Our pup is also a big fan of the XL dog bones. I'm saddened we have to wait until Jan 21 to get our hands on some more!
