Meatworks: A Photo Essay

Meatworks is the latest creation of hospitality entrepreneur, Lindsay Jones-Evans who has meticulously renovated an old 1930’s panel beating garage warehouse into a 100-seat capacity eatery. After endless research across the globe to find the best cooking methods, Lindsay has also hand built his own, 450kg in-house wood smoker – a practical display of his industrial engineering degree. Located at Ross Street in South Melbourne, Meatworks transforms from a bright atrium by day, to vibrant eatery by night. Here is the story of Meatworks in pictures.
