Victor Churchill welcomes you

Australia’s most exciting and unique butcher shop, Victor Churchill,
is NOW open!

Established in 1876, the original Churchill’s butcher shop, located on Queen Street in Woollahra, was founded by James Churchill. Victor and Cyril Churchill, James’ sons, took over the management of the store with Victor Churchill managing the store for the longest period of time. The name, “Victor Churchill” is a tribute to the Churchill family and to Victor Puharich, a master butcher.

DA-VM-689Victor and Anthony Puharich the founders of Vic’s Premium Quality Meat, Australia’s largest meat wholesaler of premium meats, have become the fourth owners of the butcher shop in its 133-year history.

With the interior designed by Michael McCann of Dreamtime Australia, the store is quite unlike any butcher store in Australia. Gone are the traditional refrigerated cabinets and parsley dressed meats, replaced with a store infused with European style. Rich timber wall panelling, timber beamed ceiling and Italian Calacatta marble stone floor, Himlayian salt brick walls create the new interior of Victor Churchill.

Supplying Sydney and Melbourne’s finest restaurants, such as Aria Restaurant, Jacque Raymond, Quay Restaurant, Vue De Monde, Tetsuya’s, Rockpool Bar and Grill, Flower Drum, Cutler & Co, Movida, Grossi Florentino, Est Restaurant and Pier Restaurant for the past 14 years with the finest meat available, Victor Churchill is excited to be offering the same premium quality meat enjoyed by Australia’s best chefs to you!
