Game meat processing in Centurion/Pretoria area?

**Mischif93** · 08-06-2021, 22:09

I've used Bronberrick Meat Market, have not had a bad experience but have not used them recently.

Did not know Hokaai did game processing, I do enjoy their meat products so will definitely consider them next time.

Hi. Yes, I've taken my first batch there. Happy with the quality and the packaging. Haven't dried anything yet - about to hang up some dry wors - so will comment on the taste afterwards.
Just a word of warning - I would strongly urge you to weigh all your returned product to reconcile with the weight you hand in. I handed in 136kg and got 97kg back. Not my first rodeo, so to say, so I went back and queried it and only then they managed to find the other 36kg with my name on it!

Took my Kudu and BWB two weeks ago to Hokaai Cent after reading great reviews on this chat. Not impressed. Should have gone to Wildshoekie like i usually do. Contacted them before my post still trying to get a response. Used them because they are closer to home.

I use Buck and Bull in Moreletta, very happy with them. They make awesome braai wors not to mention biltong and drywors

And they are open on Sunday afternoons to receive meat.

What was wrong with your meat? Why not impressed?

My meat was not labeled and some of the poly tray packaged meat was torn/open. I paid good money to process.

Hi,

I went hunting three weeks back and shot 6 Impalas. I currently do not have the facilities and time to of done it myself. I tasted some Impala drywors from a guy named Carel and loved it. Took all six to their Butchery (Serene Butchery) in Silverton Pretoria, a bit out of my way as I am in Johannesburg. It was well worth it however. Drywors and biltong came out great. Their prices are very reasonable. would highly recommend.

Hi. I'm interested to know what prices people are paying per kg (average) please? Reasonable is relative. 🙃.
Thanks!

Was in the region of R2500 for six impalas. So around R22.5 per Kg (Vast majority delicious drywors).

I must admit, I'm not 100% satisfied with Hokaai either. Been there twice now (also because they are close to home) and been disappointed both times. First time, they conveniently forgot to give me 35 kg of my processed meat back. I had to go back and question them after weighing everything when I got home. Only then did they magically find the balance of my product. Second time was better, in that I got the right weight of product back, but I'm concerned that I haven't received what I asked for. For example, I asked for chilli sticks and got what seems to be CHUTNEY sticks instead. Also don't think I got all my fillets back, and also don't appear to have the right ratio of biltong to dry wors to mince/boerewors that I requested.
