This butcher is a little bit out of the way for me but I continue to come here regularly as they…read morehave the most amazing selection of meats and all of them taste so good! My favourite is their butterfly chicken which is marinated in a tandoori sauce. It just tastes amazing and is perfect for the bbq because it is much quicker to cook because it is cut in half. It isn't the cheapest butchery but you really get what you pay for. They are very experimental with their sausage blends which I enjoy. Their pork saussies are my favourite as well as their chicken breakfast sausages. If you want your chicken portioned they do a really great job of it here and they are just so friendly and helpful. There is plenty of free parking on the street as well as some parking behind the building, y'all know I love that!

We have been coming to this butchery for many years now. What is important to us is that the…read moreproducts they stock are organic or free range. This gives us a top quality product, free of any nasty's so we know it is good for us. They also have a great selection of both standard products, I really like the crumbed schnitzel and the Italian stuffed chicken breasts. They also now have pies, which are full on top cut meat, no off cuts that lots of other places put in their pies. If you ever watch Food Inc. then you will see why we now choose to shop for our meat here, rather than the supermarkets or chain stores. Its just a better way.

I once stopped here for some burger patties as I wanted to make handmade burgers for dinner than…read morenight. Despite there being none made up, the butcher was happy to make some up for me. Less than ten minutes later they were ready, and they made for an excellent dinner. Another time I was asked if I would like to sample a sausage that they had cooking away, and as it was conveniently at lunch I obliged. It was a sausage from the Pokeno Butchery (Mt Eden Butchers have only recently started selling these, along with their award winning bacon). It was very tasty indeed and I think they make a great option for an easy dinner. If you're after friendly, helpful service with an emphasis on quality - visit Mt Eden Traditional Butchery and see if you too become a fan.

We came here on our way home, conveniently at 5.30 on the dot when the clearway outside stops,…read moreenabling us to park right outside. All I wanted was a couple of pieces of eye fillet, so I wasn't in a position to say 'hey, what should I have for dinner?', but in saying that, I feel this is totally the kind of place you could. You know the New World ads where they pretend that's what the butcher will do, but really it's just some 17 year old who doesn't give a crap about what you have for dinner... Here is where they might give a damn. Will totally head back, especially if the head is in a bit of a jumble about what's for dinner. Parking is a little bit of a mission in Mt Eden, but sometimes you can wing it - like we did! The meat itself was beautiful, and for two big pieces of eye fillet it was $12.00. I don't think that's any more than I would pay in the supey. I was also eyeing up all those delicious sausages as well... I'm sure they'll make it into the basket next time.

When you can get 14-21+ day dry aged beef for the same price as in the supermarket, how can you not…read morebuy your meat here???? Plus, the pricing is comparable. And did I mention anything about their excellent customer service???? They stayed open late on a holiday to wait on me, and never made me feel pressured or hurried. I bought one Savannah dry aged prime rib for $46/Kg (see photo), and it easily is the best meat I've ever bought at a butcher. I'm a believer, and I look forward to returning.

If you're looking for quality meats in the Ponsonby area pay a visit to Neat Meat…read more It's situated within Ponsonby Central, a hub of wonderful produce suppliers and other retailers and some of Auckland's best places to eat, many of which this family business butchery supplies. The entrance to the store is not for the feint hearted vegetarian; you'll see premium cuts of meat ageing in the window. Inside there is a massive selection of meats and smallgoods, sauces and other pantry items on offer. The meat is sold by weight from an impressive looking and well stocked cabinet and they also sell a range of pre packaged well known quality meat brands like Harmony. Their sausages are first class and so is their bacon which is available in thick cuts. Be prepared to pay in the high side for some cuts but be assured you'll be buying quality.

I never gave the Aussie Butcher much thought. It seemed weird and unpatriotic to patronize an…read moreAussie brand in NZ when there were equivalent alternatives. I've heard the cheesy radio ads and just clumped them in with the likes of the Mad Butcher. I was assigned sausage duty for a social club event at work and on recommendation I decided to inquire with the Mt Roskill location. The manager, (I think his name was Paul), was super helpful and gave us a great discount due to the quantity ordered. They had an extensive range of flavours which were all offered at the the same price and gluten free. We ended up going with 100% beef and the Garlic & Smoked Paprika options. The manager advised that they made sausages every Monday and Thursday and since the event was on Friday, we were getting them fresh as! When I went to pick them up all the staff were so incredibly friendly and the manager was so insistent that I soak the sausages in hot water for 10 minutes before grilling them that he gave me a bucket to do so free of charge. I was really surprised at the wide selection of quality yet reasonably priced meat and specialty cuts. At the social club event, the sausages were such a hit and inspired many people to talk about their deliciousness. The Aussie Butcher isn't super boutique but also isn't a cheap meat lot. You can tell they care about the product and are keen on providing reasonable prices. Totally a fan!

Butcher Jacks has been in operation in Glenfield since 1995…read more They have a long relationship with the neighborhood and are well known by the locals of the North Shore. I popped in recently on a trip to the doctors and pharmacy only right next door and decided to buy some delicious NZ Scotch fillet steak for dinner. The set up inside the big red store is similar to that of a supermarket; they have packed meats in fridges and freezers. The difference between Butcher Jacks and say the franchise butcher down the street is that they pride themselves on serving 100% NZ owned meat, and they even produce on site their own bacon, sausages and legs of ham at anytime of the year. I really enjoyed my dinner that evening; the meat was top quality and just a perfect few cuts. Weekly specials change every week so check out what they have to offer, and you will walk off with a freezer full of meat and a great bargain! They are moving to a new location just down the road in a few weeks, so be sure not to miss them next time your near Wairau Road.

This awesome butcher makes me pine for pre-supermarket days. Brian and Wayne are friendly and know…read moretheir stuff. They also have the best stash in town. If I need some special gear for a party this is where I go. I don't want to let my friends down with bad meat! Everyone, except for vegetarians, vegans and crazy people, knows that meat is super-delicious. With that in mind why would you pay top dollar to buy tasteless meat from the supermarket. Trust me, whether your jonesing for gourmet sausage or a lamb chop, ditch the big chains and go old school. Whether you want an ounce or a pound! Disclaimer: ensure sausages are thoroughly cooked before consuming!

We have been staying in Newmarket for over a month and I've been to this butcher a couple times…read more I'm stopping by tomorrow for more pork ribs for my Memphis rub. Their organic meats are delicious and the owner knows what he's doing. I've tried their pork ribs, house made sausages, fillet and scotch steak, and lamb chops. Call ahead to see if they've got what you're looking for...if they don't, they can probably get it for you the next day! I'll update their opening and closing hours on Yelp after I visit them tomorrow. Today (Tues) they are open til 6pm (not 7pm) and tomorrow (Wed) they are open at 7am.

This local and affordable butchery has…read morejust opened up on the corner of John St and Jervois, and provides a much-needed meat shop in the area. Yippee, no more trips to Countdown to buy meat! I went in today after spotting a special on chicken breast in the window. The shop is very clean (tick) if perhaps a little sparse - it could do with some 'warming up' or a woman's touch perhaps... but they are still in set-up mode so hopefully they'll get there. The sales clerk was friendly and helpful, and even told me that I could 'request' certain cuts or meats and they'd do their best to get them in store. Tick for that. Now the only thing we need is a good fishmonger!
