Meatstock Butcher Wars Focus: The Butcher Shoppe Cannon Hill

Answered by: Marc Hyde

How did you get into the butcher business? I wanted to leave school and was a casual trolley boy. I walked into the butcher shop and asked if they were looking for apprentices and I started the next day.

If you had to choose, what would be your favourite cut of meat and why? I love steak and I can't go past a juicy piece of rib fillet. Growing up as a kid it was always out of our budget, now it's not.

What will make you the winner at the Butcher Wars? Have you been doing anything to prepare for the comp? A passion for butchering, I feel there is no point in doing it unless you can do it to the best of your ability. I have had quite a few trials and a lot of input from my coworkers.

Which bands/artists are you keen to catch at Meatstock? The Fumes and Royal Chant.

What else are you looking forward to at Meatstock? Looking forward to the smoke-off and the Barber Wars. I'm also keen to check out the food that is there.
