The Butchers Club
Butchers Club opened as a butcher’s shop in Aberdeen seven years ago and has since grown to include Michelin-recognized eateries around the city, as well as a tropical offshoot on the island of Bali. The key to its success? It sources all of its beef from a farm in New South Wales, Australia, before dry ageing its products to perfection at its warehouse on Hong Kong island.

Farmers Market
Australian-born Emma Pike set up her online butchers after meeting a farmer in a bar and complaining about the lack of inexpensive quality meat in the city. Farmers Market now imports free-range, hormone- and antibiotic-free chicken, lamb, beef, pork and seafood from Australia each week. We love the bundles, which are perfect for barbecue parties. The website also has a recipe section for when you’re running low on inspiration.

Fu Ying Pork Butcher
Butcher Kwan Chun Kan has been in the trade for years. As a traditional butcher does, he acquires whole animals from local Hong Kong farms and chops them up for you to choose your favourite cut, whether its ribs, neck, belly, lens, shank, shoulder or chops. Free upgrades to Iberico pork on Friday make Kwan particularly popular.

Aussie Meat
For all your, ahem, “Aussie meat” needs. We love this online-only butchers’ Halal selection and its hotpot packages. If that isn’t enough, it outdos other butchers’ barbecue packages by selling actual barbecues alongside.
