Butchering in Sandton means working with high turnover—the area's restaurants, delis, and catering operations depend on consistent, fresh supply to maintain their own standards. Alex Fresh Meat operates in that rhythm, managing meat from cold-chain storage through to daily cutting and portioning. The work demands attention to food safety protocols, understanding which cuts suit different cooking methods, and staying responsive to both retail walk-ins and wholesale accounts. Load shedding complicates temperature control, making reliable backup systems essential. Staff need to know their craft—how to break down carcasses efficiently, maintain sharp blades, and present product that looks fresh throughout the day. It's technical work that doesn't show, but customers notice immediately when it's done well.

In Sandton, butcheries that have been operating for years tend to have built their reputation on consistency. Ask to inspect cuts before buying — a good butcher will not object. Bulk buying for braais often attracts better pricing. Marinated and ready-to-braai options vary widely in quality — checking marinade ingredients helps avoid overly processed options.
