Bluff Meat Supply North Coast Road: An Unconfirmed Address and How to Check Before You Drive
Quick answer: We found no verified current address on North Coast Road for Bluff Meat Supply outlets, so we state none. The group began as a family business on the Bluff, Durban, in 1960 and has grown into retail and manufacturing arms. Outlet counts differ by source (20 Bluff Meat Supply outlets, 7 Bluff Meat Supply/Mndeni Meats outlets and 25 Bluff Braai & Grill takeaways in one listing; 13 stores in Durban and Richards Bay in an older page), and directories give different addresses. Phone the outlet you plan to visit.

Background
According to its profile, Bluff Meat Supply started in 1960, opened Mndeni Meats outlets from 1986 and sells raw and cold meats, kebabs, hamburger patties and braai packs. A 2025 advertorial described same-day collection orders and an online butcher service. Weekly sale leaflets for the group have been published on catalogue sites for years, so older leaflets remain online and may mislead.
Directories list different addresses, including Chris Hani Road in one place and Beach Road in the Bluff in another, and we could not verify a specific North Coast Road outlet or any outlet's hours. Individual outlets may open at different times, particularly on Sundays and public holidays.
What to check and how to decide
Check the company's own store locator, a map app and recent reviews, then phone the outlet to ask about hours today, public holiday hours, stock, pre-order options and payment methods. Ask for the price per kilogram and the weight of packs. If you are using a leaflet, check the validity dates, because old leaflets look current.
On invented numbers, 2 kg of boerewors at R85 per kg costs R170, and a 3.5 kg braai pack at R399 costs R114 per kg. A 12 km round trip costs R36 in fuel at R3 per km, so combine trips and do not travel for a small purchase. Keep meat cold: use a cooler bag with ice, get it home within an hour and refrigerate or freeze promptly. Cook meat thoroughly, keep raw and cooked foods apart and refrigerate leftovers within two hours. Check labels for the date and weight. If you buy in bulk, portion and freeze in meal-sized packs. Compare with supermarket butcheries on a per-kilogram basis. Keep your slip.
| Step | Why |
|---|---|
| Check the official source | Avoid outdated or look-alike information |
| Compare unit prices and total cost | Headline prices mislead |
| Keep slips and confirmations | Proof if something goes wrong |
When you research bluff meat supply north coast road, keep a simple record: the exact words you searched, the date, the source and whether you confirmed the detail yourself. Prefer the company's own website or app, then a phone call to the store or office, then recent reviews, and treat anything older than a year with caution. Where two sources disagree, keep both figures and note the dates instead of choosing one, because averaging or guessing produces numbers that no source supports. If you share what you found with family or neighbours, say clearly what is confirmed and what is not, since an unchecked guess quickly becomes a rumour in a community chat group.
It also helps to think about cost beyond the headline price. Travel by taxi or car, waiting time, delivery fees, deposits and the value of your own time all change which option is cheapest. Set a small monthly budget for each category of spending, write down what you actually pay for a few months, and compare it with what you planned. Small, repeated differences, such as a R10 fee on every order or a R20 saving that costs R30 in fuel, add up over a year. Review your habits quarterly, since stores, fees, promotions and rental terms change faster than most people expect, and keep your slips, contracts and confirmations until the return or complaint period has passed.
Consumer tips and cautions
Under the Consumer Protection Act, prices must not mislead and goods must be of good quality; if the shelf price and the till price differ, ask for the lower price, keep your slip and return defective goods within six months.
Beware of scams that use brand and place names to promise vouchers, grants, jobs or prizes in exchange for a fee or personal details. Official information comes from the company's own website, app and stores. Never share one-time PINs, card numbers or your ID number with someone who contacts you first.
Check, compare and keep records. Those three habits protect you whichever store you are dealing with.
