Personal Background

John Andrew is a seasoned butcher and the proud owner of The Meat Inn Place, located in Lilydale, Victoria, Australia. He has a Butcher Prime Safe and HACCP license, emphasising his commitment to maintaining food safety protocols at The Meat Inn Place.

His journey in butchery began at a young age. He grew up immersed in the craft through his family's longstanding tradition. With both his father and siblings being butchers, it's safe to say that butchery runs deep in his blood. John's journey began at age five, assisting his father in their butcher shop. By the time he turned 14, John embarked on a formal apprenticeship, marking the beginning of over three decades of experience in the industry.

Career Path

John's passion for butchery led him to pursue opportunities far and wide. During a holiday in Finley, New South Wales, he sought out a local butcher for employment and promptly relocated to pursue his aspirations. This dedication and determination underscore John's commitment to his craft.

Throughout his career, John has worked in various butcher shops, refining his expertise and establishing himself as a respected figure in the industry. His dedication to quality and customer service has earned him recognition, including accolades such as being featured in the Herald Sun and winning awards for his exceptional products, such as the title of Best Ham in Australia

Entrepreneurship

In 2018, John fulfilled a lifelong dream by becoming the owner of The Meat Inn Place in Lilydale. Under his stewardship, the shop has flourished, offering a wide selection of premium cuts sourced from grass-fed and free-range meats. With a focus on providing exemplary service and stocking unique brands like Kiwami Wagyu, John has garnered a loyal customer base and a sterling reputation within the community.

Low and slow cooking, a technique for which Melbourne is renowned, forms a substantial part, approximately 50%, of The Meat Inn Place's business. John is dedicated to supporting teams in the competitive world with prime cuts like brisket and other barbecue staples such as short ribs, rump caps, tri-tips, and ribs. This emphasis on low and slow cooking has revolutionized the weekly shopping experience for numerous customers, who now regularly include low and slow cuts, sausages, and chops in their purchases.
