Winning Triple M‘s Melbourne’s Best Butcher once felt like a dream come true. Winning it for a second year in a row is something we’ll never take for granted.
As a small family butcher shop in Lilydale, this recognition means so much more than a trophy or a title. It’s a reflection of the incredible support we’ve received from our customers, our staff, our families, and the local community that’s stood behind us from the very beginning.
To everyone who took the time to vote, shop with us, recommend us, and cheer us on, thank you. This achievement belongs to all of us, and we couldn’t think of a better reason to celebrate together.
We Never Expected to Win Twice
When we were announced as Triple M’s Melbourne’s Best Butcher for the first time, we were genuinely blown away. To be recognised by the people who matter most to us, our customers and community, was something we’ll always be proud of.
To receive that same recognition for a second consecutive year is difficult to put into words. As a small family business, we don’t take a single vote or recommendation for granted. Knowing that so many people continue to support us, trust us, and choose us week after week is what makes this award so special.
It’s a reminder that the relationships we’ve built over the years matter just as much as the products we sell. That’s something we’re incredibly grateful for every single day.
This Award Belongs to Our Community
One of the things that makes the Triple M Melbourne’s Best Butcher award so meaningful is that it’s decided by the people. Every vote represents someone who has visited our shop, enjoyed our products, or believed in what we do.
That’s why we don’t see this as just our achievement. It belongs to every customer who has trusted us with their family dinners, weekend BBQs, Christmas celebrations, and special occasions. It belongs to our incredible team, who work hard behind the scenes every day, and to the Lilydale community that has supported us from the very beginning.
Being recognised two years in a row reminds us why we do what we do. We’re proud to be your local butcher, and even prouder to be part of a community that continues to show us such incredible support.
Let’s Celebrate Together
Winning back-to-back Triple M Melbourne’s Best Butcher is something we wanted to celebrate the only way we know how, by bringing the community together.
That’s why we’re hosting our Back to Back Block Party on Saturday 11 July, with all proceeds and fundraising efforts supporting Kindness4Kids. It’s our chance to say thank you to everyone who’s helped us reach this incredible milestone while giving back to a cause that’s close to our hearts.
Come along and enjoy smokers rolling all day, award-winning BBQ, tastings, giveaways, and plenty of activities for the kids. Whether you’ve been shopping with us for years or you’re visiting for the first time, we’d love to celebrate with you.
Thank You
Awards are a wonderful honour, but they’re never something we expect. Every customer who walks through our doors, every recommendation you make, and every vote of confidence you give us is something we genuinely appreciate.
Winning Triple M’s Melbourne’s Best Butcher for the second year running is a milestone we’ll always be proud of, but it’s also a reminder of the responsibility we have to keep earning your trust every day.
From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to welcoming you into the shop, celebrating with you at our Back to Back Block Party, and continuing to serve the Lilydale community for many years to come.
Come and Celebrate With Us
Whether you’ve been shopping with us for years or have only recently discovered The Meat Inn Place, we’d love to thank you in person.
Join us at our Back to Back Block Party on Saturday 11 July for great food, family-friendly activities, giveaways, and a day of celebrating with the community that made this achievement possible. Together, we’ll also be raising funds for Kindness4Kids, making the day about more than just an award.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
