Avon's Butchery is a family butcher on Apirana Avenue in Glen Innes, open since 1980. It is known for its award-winning snarlers, bacon and sausages, and customers mention the biltong and the mango chilli chicken sausage most often. The shop also sells sauces and spices, and the site offers custom and specialty cuts. Its ready-to-go boxes are cut fresh after you order and sent chilled by overnight courier, on one of three delivery days a week. The site gives ordering hours of Monday to Friday 8am to 5.30pm and Saturday to Sunday 8am to 5pm.
Customers say the staff are good to deal with, and one buyer from Northland says they travel down to buy the bacon in bulk and pick up steaks while they are there. Another praises the sausages and the help given for barbecues. The mixed view is on consistency: some say the quality is good but not always the same, and one long-time buyer found the frequent price rises hard to accept. Among the three butchers nearby with ten or more reviews, this one is not the top rated. For a butcher that sends its cuts to your door, the chilled courier is what sets it apart from a shop you walk into.
