NICK WHITEHOUSE I THE EPPING CLUB - NSW

Viking Food Solutions recently supplied and installed

twin Dry Ager DX1000 Meat Maturing Fridges at

The Epping Club, Epping NSW. Executive Chef,

Nick Whitehouse, says the cabinets are a real show-

stopper, “I saw the dry ager at a trade show & instantly

liked the look of it. After doing my homework on dry

age meat fridges the ‘Dry Ager’ was coming out on

top for quality of build & price point. The fridges are

on show at the entrance to our restaurant Rawson’s &

they get a lot of attention. The dry ager meat fridges

have allowed us to lift our game in the restaurant

business. We plan to have the most cost effective dry

age steaks on sale in Sydney, Australia.”

Two butchers, Steve & Ken have recently opened a new butcher shop in Springfield, QLD.

Two Butchers is a top quality butchers shop with a freshness philosophy of providing farm fresh, grass

fed, and hormone free meat. They supply a gourmet selection of beef, lamb, free range chicken and pork, game meats, dry aged beef, small-goods,

local relishes & produce and cold or hot pies & sausage rolls.

Steve contacted Viking in the early days of planning their new shop, and Viking ex-butcher,

Nathan Finch worked with them along every step of the way providing support, ideas and eventually

assisting with the install of the machinery.Viking supplied a wide variety of equipment

including a Unox Combi Oven and a Dry Ager DX1000 Meat Maturing Fridge, giving Two

Butchers the perfect point of di�erence from a typical butcher with their range of top-end dry aged beef and ready to eat hot pies and sausage rolls.

Two Butchers is o� to an excellent start and Viking congratulates them on their classy new shop and wish Two Butchers every success in the future!

A couple months after installing a Unox Combi Steam Oven at Peter Robinson’s The Butcher Club Williamstown store, we dropped past for a chat to see how things were going.

Over the hum of the oven mid-recipe, Peter - with a live cray in his hand, enthusiastically launches into praise for their latest purchase.

“It allows us to do a whole range of things - here we’re roasting up some seasoned turkey fillets. It also allows us to buy & cook fresh crays on a daily or hourly basis, prawns, you name it!

So why did they purchase the oven?

“The reason we purchased the oven was to save time & to be one step ahead of our competitors - we are able to produce the best products, cooked to perfection. We also make all our own hams and smallgoods throughout the year, so we needed another state-of-the-art piece of equipment to be able to keep producing a fantastic range of products.Everything is cooked at exactly the right temperature for the right time - the beautiful example is fresh steamed prawns and crayfish cooked perfectly.”

With a piece of equipment like this we’re able to roast, steam or a combination of both and we have the control to deliver the very best & freshest products to our consumers.”
