A neighbourhood butcher on Cuthberts Road in Alfredton, Ballarat, Meat N More Butchery holds a 4.6 rating from eleven Google reviews, with customers singling out the friendly staff and the crumbed lamb chops. A good local butcher earns their keep on two fronts: the counter, where cuts can be trimmed, tied or sliced to order in a way supermarket packaging never manages, and the prepared lines such as crumbed chops, sausages and smallgoods, where recipes differ from shop to shop and the honest ones will tell you exactly what goes into them. Regulars tend to ask what came in freshest that week and let the butcher steer them toward the right cut for the meal, rather than arriving fixed on a name. For Alfredton locals after a good crumbed chop or a bit of counter advice, Meat N More Butchery sits handily on Cuthberts Road.
