Gawler River Cattle Company

Gawler River Cattle Company does amazing quality meats for incredibly low prices, week in, week out. The special of the week right now is half a Peking Chicken for just $ 2.50 — and it’s a lovely plump half a chook, with a glaze that finishes into crisp, luscious Peking Duck style skin. I went to the trouble of making some thin crepes to go with it, with shredded spring onions and cucumber, and a hoi sin sauce to add on the side, and my kids and I cleaned up two halves — not quite the flavour of a good peking duck, but absolutely gorgeous for a cheap meal.
There’s a good variety of meat here — not quite the range from some of the gourmet butchers I’ve been to, but for everyday meat at an uncompromisingly low price, I reckon this is the go. It pays to survey what the weekly specials are, so you can pick up some real bargains.
And the best bet, by far — they’ll give you a bag if you need one. A good, thick, sturdy bag you can reuse to put rubbish in. Gotta absolutely love them for that :)
