Boutique butchery and deli, Meat.Etc in Rosebank, has undergone a nip and a tick to increase its offerings and make it more user-friendly.

New in store are breakfasts – tubs of ready-to-eat prepared fruit, smoothies, yoghurt and muesli – and create-your-own salads where you can choose your own base, and toppings. These are perfect for people on the go, and those wanting healthier and more wholesome lunch options that are still delicious.

In addition to selling meats (the same A-grade meat that The Grillhouse serves), braai packs, marinades and spices, Meat.Etc offers some of the best biltong and dried wors in the northern suburbs. There are also daily home-style lunch specials (think prego rolls and chips, and burgers and salads, or beef curry and rice), plus gourmet sandwiches, croissants, doughtnuts and cupcakes. People working in the Rosebank area are starting their mornings off with a R10 cappuccino using Bean There coffee, and a pastry of their choice.

There is also a great gift section still with braai tools and sets, aprons, knives, glasses and kitchen gadgets.
