If you’re big on gourmet sausages stuffed with herbs and juicy meat, succulent grass-fed steak and marinated free-range chicken begging to be cooked over a flame, you’ll know that supermarket produce don’t quite cut it. But fret not, barbecue lovers: we’ve found the best butchers in Singapore who can make your carnivorous feast a roaring success.
The Meat Club
This new-age Aussie meat delivery business is one we’re big fans of, and it has incredibly tender meat and a very cool Auto-Pilot option. Let us explain: These guys supply all-Australian beef and lamb, fly it pre-packed in meal-size portions into Singapore, and then deliver it to your door. The packaging technology they use allows the meat to last in the fridge for 28 days (14 days for mince), so your meat is never frozen. You can order a pack, or sign up for their Auto-Pilot option, where they automatically send you a meat order every four weeks. How handy is that? We have tried and tasted the product, and the tenderness is out of this world! But hey, try it for yourself!

Meat The Butcher
This high-end butcher ensures all its meat is flown in fresh from the source and is never frozen. Treat yourself to the premium BBQ set, and you’ll be feasting on wagyu steak, lamb medallions, baby back ribs and more. Can’t stray from sausages? A $25.80 pack includes 12 bad boys, but try choosing from German bratwurst, Oxford bangers, garlic herb, tomato basil, chorizo and gourmet beef. Throwing an impromptu barbecue? They’ll pull out all stops to do a same-day delivery, as long as you get your order in by 1pm. Delivery is free for orders over $150.

Sasha’s Fine Foods
Ask any BBQ-lover where to source top-quality, ethically sourced meat and seafood, and you’ll hear about Sasha’s Fine Foods (previously known as The Barbie Girls). Founder Sasha Conlan started out by sourcing the top-notch produce she was missing when she moved to Singapore, and is passionate about providing local families with hormone and antibiotic-free meat that’s entirely traceable. We’re impressed by the offering of fresh sausages (hallelujah: free-range Aussie pork!), Tasmanian grass-fed steak, New Zealand salmon and ethically produced local chicken. Hot tip: she shares her local poultry supplier with Jamie Oliver’s restaurant team!

An East Coast foodie haven that is the brainchild of the Oh sisters, Annie, Patsy, Jenny and Susie, Oh Deli is a cafe, deli, winery and one impressive butcher all rolled into one. Red meat is fresh, not frozen, and flown in from Australia, where Jenny and Susie got hooked on fantastic local produce. The Malaysia-sourced chicken is hormone-and-antibiotic free, and their sausages are impressive: expect chipolatas, pork chorizo and more – or indulge in a barbecue set from $100, which includes all the trimmings including buns, kebabs and marinades. While you’re there, add some freshly baked ciabatta and a bottle of punchy Aussie red to go with all that flame-cooked meat.
