Good quality meats and prompt service

Their meat is incredible. Purchased an order last week, and I must say, their Cannings Pure Burger (Frozen) - 600g is so good I've already run out of the 3 lots of 4 I've purchased. My steaks are sitting neglected. But I'm constantly craving these burgers!

Always pop in when I get a chance, have only been disappointed once when you had run out of stock ( understandable, but please carry more)

Approximate cost: $50

Hi there!

Thanks for the feedback. So we can improve ourselves, what stock do you find that we re selling out of?

We read the reviews here on WordOfMouth and decided to make the trip from Fitzroy to Kew to buy Pork for our crispy pork recipe for Christmas day.

As many have said before me, the service is phenomenal! Even though the shop was abuzz, I was served very quickly by a nice young guy who asked me just the right questions to work out what I wanted and needed. He then handed over to the butcher himself for very personalised service.

The butcher - DAVID - went out back and selected just the right sized piece for me (4KG) and presented it to me to check I was happy with it. David then gave me the option of removing the bones, which he did for me, and he even scored the skin for me exactly how I wanted it scored (1cm diagonals).

Once completed, David took the time to give me the tips on how best to prepare my crispy skin pork.

Seriously folks, you don't get better personalised customer service than this. For a moment in time, I felt transported back to the heyday of the 1950s.

I'll update this after Christmas dinner!

Approximate cost: $95

Hi BOOC. Thanks for such a glorious review. David is one of our newest recruits and we are all so proud of him for receiving this review. It made his (and my) Christmas. David has a very promising future ahead of him at Cannings. Thanks for your support, booc!

Shop there regularly due to excellent meat, poultry and salmon.
However, disappointed in lasagna product. NOT made to Italian style. Will not purchase it again. I understand this product was not made by Cannings.

Hi Caz.

Thanks for the review. Sorry to hear about your bad lasagna experience. Cocoa Patisserie (in Kew) make our meals for us , with our meat, and to our recipes. We receive high praises for all of our meals. Can you please tell me the Italian style so we can perhaps to look at having these changes made to the lasagna recipe/method? Our job is never done as there is always room for improvement.

Caz, my email is; [email protected]

Although I believe your choice of words is fairly harsh, I appreciate your advice.

Thanks again.

The products here are such high quality and the prices are very reasonable for the flavours and choice.

Thanks Cath! Look forward to seeing you again! Our Malvern store opens next week, which may be closer to you.

Me and my family love to cook, and picking up some fresh produce every week is a ritual.. love this place!

Thank you Sam - I usually buy my produce at the Vic market, but realised at the last minute it would be closed on Saturday so popped down in my lunch hour to Cannings in Hawthorn near my work to get enough to feed 9 adults for a BBQ on Anzac Day. Well, we have never had such delicious sausages ( Toulouse Pork, and Honey Lamb) and also beautiful lamb chops! Everyone was impressed with the quality and taste! So thank you, and I might just have to swing by more often! Looking forward to a beef cheek slow cook later in the week :-)

Approximate cost: $110

Thank YOU, Anna!

I'm glad you share our enthusiasm for great quality, high welfare produce. The Toulouse sausages are our latest addition to the range. I love them!! Also, the lamb is from a new supplier. It's organic, saltbush fed, dorper lamb from South Australia. It's very good! Thanks for your support and I hope we see you soon. Don't forget, we deliver all over Melbourne. Check our website.

Great quality product but not cheap, but if you are looking for great cut, fresh and beautifully presented look nowhere else. This is the place to shop for dinner parties!

Approximate cost: $130

Thanks for the great review TS! We try very hard to bring you the best produce, with great service in a beautiful shopping environment. No, this does not come cheaply, but I'm glad you can see the value in it. Thanks for your support!!!
