KZN's favourite butchery sets up shop in Westville
Along with the highly anticipated opening of Dial-a-Bed and Dunlop Tyres, the big hitters of the butchery world, Bluff Meat Supply, recently opened a branch of their award-winning butchery in Westville. Bluff Meat Supply is a welcomed addition to the town scene, with residents now enjoying its fine produce, friendly services and its convenient new location in the heart of Westville's commercial centre. The growing trend of businesses setting up shop in Westville underscores the area's robust and healthy commercial sector. This a good sign for residents and businesses alike.
From the Bluff to your back door
Billed as "your family butcher", Bluff Meat Supply had a modest start in the 1960s as a family-run business on Durban's Bluff. Today, the company known as Bluff Meat Supply Foods (BMS) includes retail and manufacturing divisions. It boasts 17 retail outlets spanning KwaZulu-Natal from Richards Bay up the north coast down to Margate on the south coast and inland all the way to Pietermaritzburg. Until its opening in Westville, residents had to trek into Pinetown to get their fill of tender cuts and generous portions. Now, 66 Buckingham Terrace is home to Westville's very own family-style butchery.
A cut above the rest
The butchery business is a hard-learned craft. Getting the cut right is a skill to be mastered and sharing knowledge on how to best enjoy the produce with customers is also essential. So you want your local butcher to be racking up some awards to show they take their meat (and their customers!) seriously. Bluff Meat Supply doesn't disappoint. It scooped up four awards at the 2022 Cleaver Awards, including a coveted National Winner, where it competed against butcheries across South Africa. The awards, based on quality, service, hygiene and value for money, are a testament to Bluff Meat Supply's goal to "help grow healthy families". Added to this, they have been voted by the Daily Mail for 12 years running as KZN's favourite butchery and the best butchery in KZN by the Red Meat Association of SA.

Going beyond the butchery
In line with its family-focused drive to "grow healthy families", Bluff Meat Supply has taken its mission beyond the butchery and out into the community. Their latest corporate social responsibility project tackles illegal dumping along the Umgeni River. This long-term operation involves several stakeholders, including the NPO Adopt-a-River, and aims to clean up existing waste, restore and maintain the environment and prevent further dumping.
