Crafting flavour, tradition and quality

Nestled in the heart of Cockatoo, Chieftains Smokehouse has been proudly serving the local community since 2016. As a family-owned and operated business, our passion for high-quality smallgoods, expert butchery, and premium deli products drives everything we do.

At the core of Chieftains is our smokehouse, where we transform top-quality free-range meat into mouthwatering artisan smallgoods. Using traditional European methods and smoking over rich Australian Redgum wood, we create flavours that are bold, authentic, and unforgettable. Every recipe and brine is crafted from scratch, ensuring that each product meets our highest standards.

We take pride in sourcing the finest free-range meat from Victoria’s best suppliers. By working closely with trusted farmers, we guarantee that our customers receive only the freshest, ethically sourced cuts. Whether you’re looking for expertly prepared meats, handcrafted smallgoods, or specialty deli items, Chieftains Smokehouse offers an unparalleled selection that showcases our commitment to quality.

Beyond our smokehouse and butchery, we bring people together through food. Stop by for our daily one-item lunch, where you can enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared meal, or join us on Friday nights for a special dinner experience.

We invite you to visit us at 30 McBride Street, Cockatoo, and experience the best in artisan butchery and smallgoods. Our doors are open Monday to Thursday from 9am to 6pm, Fridays from 9am to 7.30pm, and Saturdays from 10am to 3pm. Come taste the difference and discover why Chieftains Smokehouse is a true gem in the community!
