The nuggets went viral. The butchery came first.
Josh Neilson has run the shop at 720 Glenferrie Road since 2003, back when it still traded as Rod Watson's. Primary cuts, gourmet sausages made on site, and a roasting service we've given away free for nearly twenty years. The half a million views were a surprise to everyone — we'd been frying those nuggets for two decades already.

Four things
What people actually
come in for
Twenty-three years on the same stretch of Glenferrie Road. Most of what we're known for was here long before anyone pointed a phone at it.
-
01
The nuggets
Seasoned chicken thigh, thick milk batter, fine white crumb, fried hard. We've made them the same way for over twenty years.
-
02
The free roast
Buy a roasting cut and we'll cook it for you. No charge. Add roast veg and gravy and the whole dinner is done.
-
03
Primary cuts
Eye fillet, rib eye, porterhouse. Sourced from leading producers and cut to order, the way Josh has always run the counter.
-
04
The sausages
Made on site. Pork belly, parmesan and truffle is the one that goes first — but the chilli cheese has its own following.
What's on today
The counter
Prices are per kilo unless marked. Everything is cut to order — if you can't see what you want, ask, because it's probably out the back.
Nothing matches that. Try a different word, or just ask us at the counter.
· Anything marked free roasting we'll cook for you at no charge.
The sign out the front
Guess the price.
Get them free.
There's an A-frame on the footpath with the rules on it: guess the price of your nugget purchase and it's on us. People have been playing it for years. Here's a practice round — though the real one only counts at the counter.
Your bag
—
Cooked, still warm, straight off the tray.
A toy, obviously. No free nuggets are won on the internet — that happens on the footpath outside 720 Glenferrie Road.
Know your cut
Every cut is a different animal
Where a muscle sits decides how you cook it. The ones that worked hard need time and liquid. The ones that barely moved need heat and almost no time at all. Pick a cut and we'll tell you which.

Ovens lie. A $20 probe thermometer is the best thing you can buy for your kitchen — or hand the whole job to us and skip the argument.
