Our story
Who is Peter Augustus?
The Craft Butcher
Peter Augustus is a specialised craft butcher store by Stanbroke, one of Australia's most respected cattle and beef producers. We were established on the belief that everyone should have access to the very best produce, regardless of their budget. We are committed to delivering a unique customer experience through our dedication to quality and our passion for sharing butchery knowledge with our community.
The Stanbroke Heritage
Stanbroke is a family-owned beef company with a legacy tracing back to 1861. We are unique in the Australian industry because we maintain complete control over every stage of the production process. From owning the cattle stations where our animals are raised to growing the natural grasses and grains they graze upon, our state-of-the-art facilities ensure the unmatched quality and consistency of every cut.
Single-Source Provenance
All of our beef is sourced exclusively through Stanbroke. We believe that a superior eating experience is determined by the care shown to the animal throughout its life. By operating each stage of the production process, we follow strict best-practices and animal welfare standards. This single-source integrity allows Peter Augustus to guarantee the quality of our product each and every time.

Vacuum Sealing & Freshness
We use specialised vacuum sealing to remove oxygen from the packaging, reducing oxidation and naturally extending the freshness of your meat. This process preserves the integrity of the protein without the need for additives.
Fresh Storage Guidelines — Chilled at ~2°C
| Beef Primal & Whole Cuts | Up to 60 days |
| Steaks (Sliced) | Up to 28 days |
| Bone-in Beef & Lamb | Up to 14 days |
| Pork & Chicken | Up to 7 days |
| Artisanal Sausages | Up to 7 days |
Butcher's Tip
When vacuum-sealed meat is first opened, it may appear darker. This is a natural result of oxygen removal. Simply allow the meat to rest for 15–20 minutes, and it will return to its natural, vibrant bloom.
