Meatstock Butcher Wars Focus: Oxley Butchery, Bowral

Answered by: Pete Smith

How did you get into the butcher business? I was offered an apprenticeship after completing work experience in a quality butcher shop.

If you had to choose, what would be your favourite cut of meat and why? Definitely a roast, especially slow cooked, outdoors while entertaining family and friends.

What will make you the winner at the Butcher Wars? Have you been doing anything to prepare for the comp? Using all my experience with an open mind, I believe I can create a mouthwatering masterpiece with the products provided.

Which bands/artists are you keen to catch at Meatstock? I would love to see as many bands/artists as possible; you can't beat live music.

What else are you looking forward to at Meatstock? Definitely the food vendors, the different types of smokers and barbecues, spices, rubs and sauces — just really looking forward to the whole experience, this should be a great weekend!
