Clifton Beach Butchery is a local meat retailer in Clifton Beach, Cairns, offering a broad selection of fresh, locally sourced meats alongside advice from its team of butchers. It is suited to shoppers planning a family barbecue, preparing a special dinner or simply replenishing everyday supplies. The business says its staff can provide personalised recommendations, making it useful for both confident cooks and anyone looking for help choosing a suitable cut or quantity.
There are several ways to shop. Customers can visit the store at Shop 5, Clifton Village Shopping Centre on the Captain Cook Highway, order online for click and collect, or arrange home delivery. The butchery also supplies restaurants and handles wholesale orders, extending its service beyond household shopping. For hosts planning a larger gathering, spit roast hire is available for family occasions, corporate events and other celebrations. Gift vouchers are another option for those wanting to give something food-focused without choosing the products themselves.
The website highlights a few customer favourites, including Tablelands pork loin chops and Garlic Chicken Kiev, which can be enjoyed hot or cold in sandwiches. Weekend specials are promoted through the shop’s social media channels, with changing deals on high-quality meats. The business also takes part in Meat Tray Friday with Star 104.7, giving customers the opportunity to win a meat tray as part of the promotion. These offers add a community focus to what is otherwise a practical stop for fresh food shopping.
Clifton Beach Butchery was established by Mitch and Ash in 2016 after they bought the Clifton Beach shop. Mitch began as a meat-industry apprentice in Tumbarumba, NSW, later working in Brisbane butcher shops before spending time in the mining industry. The business has since grown from modest beginnings to a team of more than 20 people, including butchers, apprentices, labourers, counter staff and juniors. Their stated focus is on quality, integrity and customer satisfaction. With seven-day trading, delivery and collection options, the shop suits local households, barbecue planners, event hosts and nearby hospitality businesses. It is around 20 minutes from Cairns City and five minutes from Palm Cove, making it a practical option for shoppers across the northern beaches.
