For Windsor Meats, this passion was born in 1946, when the first shop was opened at the tail end of WWII. Windsor became a beloved and well-established butcher in Vancouver, known for their quality product and exemplary service. Bett Prosperi-Porta purchased Windsor's Caulfield location in 2005, largely due to the frustration he felt at the limited selection and quality of product available to him at conventional grocery stores.
The move was in hopes of establishing a store unlike anything he could yet find; incomparable products and friendly, knowledgeable service. Today, Windsor has created a loyal following as has become known for its high quality meats as well as for their value added products and eateries.

Placed an order over the phone for an uncooked ham and black pudding
Order couldn’t be found when I went to pick up and had to be prepared on the spot.
Staff didn’t realize there was a difference between blood sausage and black pudding (even though I confirmed their understanding when placing the order that I wanted black pudding and not blood sausage).
The staff were clearly frustrated and quite curt with me and borderline bickering with each other. It didn’t seem to be directed at me so I didn’t mind so much but it was embarrassing to witness.
Ended up leaving with nothing that I

I was tasked with preparing the meat for Christmas dinner with my girlfriends family this year. Wanting to make a solid and lasting impression, I decided it would be in my best interest to head to my local butcher and grab something impressive. Eyeing up the case, I decided a prime rib roast would do the trick. Certainly her parents and siblings would be in awe as I pulled such a magnificent joint from the oven, “he’s a real keeper!” Etc Etc. “Rib roast please, 2 bones!” I said across the counter. One of the butchers said he had the perfect roast already cut in the back, and rushed off

My rating is based on an associate who has a very unprofessional and disrespectful demeanor for working in an environment that requires interaction with the public on service and quality. With the price of meats today the sales per person can be quite high and when we get short, curt and unprofessional service it makes the customer feel like their patronage is unwanted and undesirable, so that is exactly what we can do. Find some place else that has associates working for them that enjoys having customers, no matter what time of the day it is!!

I decided to come here to Windsor meats during pregnancy to try and mediate the possibility of getting food poisoning as it can be very serious in pregnancy. I have previously expressed concern in store about staff during covid half wearing masks in store and putting the mask back on whilst wearing gloves and failing to change the glove before touching the meat, this happened a few times before I had to say something, the staff obliged to change their gloves before handling the produce, and were polite about it so I continued to go there. I purchased a chipotle lime chicken skewer yesterday and

Can’t find a harder working staff that is as consistent, knowledgeable, and friendly! Having shopped at each of their locations over the years, their selection and quality ceases to amaze me. Roast chicken and roast beef are ever crowd pleasers in our family. Thank you for your service, and maintaining such high standards in working tirelessly through tough times. Highly recommend!

I thought I would try the other butcher shop on the block and I found the staff to be very unpleasant and pushy. I was the only person in the store and they both kept pressing me for some reason. I bought some steaks, some sausages and some chicken. It was insanely overpriced and adding insult to injury when I pressed what I had expected to be "chequing" on the terminal was actually "Tip 15%"... Tip the butcher? Are you insane? The fact I'm coming into the store and paying over the odds for subpar meat is enough. I was shocked. The woman said flippantly "we can refund the transaction and take it

This is the butcher closest to where I live. Not only do I like them because they are in my neighbourhood, but the staff really know what they are talking about. Over the years, I have purchased many things in the store. Recently, I have started buying their freezer packs of meats. I definitely recommend these as I think they are really good value.

Their pepperoni selection is pretty good but it's pricey. We also bought a couple of small grass fed rib eye steaks for about $13 each. I have never had worst quality of beef in my life, nor paid such a premium. They were so tough, it was barely edible. We specifically went to buy meat there as we thought it would be better quality then what we would find at the grocery store next door, and we celebrating our anniversary so wanted to splurge and even bought a nice bottle of wine to go with the steak. The meat was such an incredible disappointment it kind of ruined the evening because I didn't even
