The Butcher Wants a Wife | Gold Coast News | Local News in Gold Coast

Phillip, who confesses he has been unlucky in love after a few relationships, hopes our joint quest, Butcher Wants a Wife, will be successful.

“I’m not getting any younger and I thought this would be a bit of fun,” Mr Smith said.

“The long hours I work have been the downfall of my relationships, but it goes with the trade.

“We’ll see what happens, but maybe I’ll meet a girl and settle down.”

Phillip moved to the Gold Coast six weeks ago from Brisbane to open a butchery within his family business.

“I originally come from New Zealand, but I’ve been in Australia for 12 years,” he said.

“I’ve travelled and lived all over the country and love seeing new places.”

He says he is not fussy, but Phillip is looking for a girl who is independent and employed.

“She needs to have a life for herself and be outgoing like I am,” he said. Only girls who don’t mind sharing Phillip with his beloved dog need apply because his female Rottweiler is a big part of his life.

How does it work?

Once applications close on Saturday February 20, Phillip and his mum will go through the applications and choose the semi-finalists.

Online voting, starting March 4, will determine finalists who will then each go on a date with Phillip at Currumbin RSL’s Alleys Restaurant.

The date will include a three-course meal, wine and flowers or heart chocolates.

The overall winner will receive a weekend away with Phillip, provided by Tweed Cruise and Travel in conjunction with Couran Cove Island Resort.

The weekend includes one night’s accommodation, ferry transfer, breakfast for two, a two-course dinner and a bottle of Australian sparkling wine.

She will also win a free facial, by Face Magic in Coolangatta, and a hairstyling and makeup package by B Styled Hair Studio in Tugun.
