A Family Legacy of Quality
Owner Richard Odell has been slicing and dicing since 1976, and he’s called the Griffith storefront home since 1989. Today, he runs the business alongside his sons, Mike and Tim – a true family affair that brings warmth, expertise, and old-school service to every customer.
What sets them apart? A rock-solid partnership with the same local producers since 1990. Their beef and lamb come from Ron and Linda Ward’s family farm in Cootamundra—free-range, grass-fed, and completely free of herbicides, pesticides, and hormones. It’s a handshake deal that’s delivered without missing a beat for over 35 years.
Every cut can be traced straight back to the source. As Richard puts it, you’re tasting the very soil of the farm in every bite. That’s provenance you can trust—and flavour you’ll never forget.
