Somerville Village Meats

Somerville VIC 3912
Australia
Somerville may not be the most picturesque town on the Mornington Peninsula and, while in the warm, flat north, it isn't on Victoria's regular food and wine radar. However Somerville Village Meats is certainly a great excuse for a short detour.
Butcher Phil Revell runs what seems like a traditional country butcher shop complete with concrete floor and plastic grass in the counter display cabinets. But look a little closer and you will notice trophies dotted around the shop for “Best Ham off the Bone” and “Best Strasbourg”. The award winning smoked goods– ham, beef, cabana, chicken breast, ham hocks – are worth the trip in themselves but Phil also stocks Peninsula Blue Ribbon Beef: chemical, growth-hormone and antibiotic-free meat sourced entirely from those pastures you noticed across the Mornington Peninsula. Come in at the right time and you might also be able to buy lamb from Phil's own Peninsula farm.

There are some great guides to the foodie highlights of the Mornington Peninsula, but as Michael Harden discovers, sometimes it's better to follow your nose, feast your eyes on the scenery and discover the road side stalls selling pumpkins and eggs, or the pick-your-own cherry farm yourself.
