OH DEAR MEATS is a butcher on Tawa Dr in Crown Hill, North Shore City, Auckland, with a 4.8 Google rating. Butchery is a trade where the relationship counts for as much as the display cabinet: a good butcher cuts to order, so if you want a rolled shoulder for slow cooking, a tied roast or sausages to your own recipe, asking is usually all it takes. Regulars tend to ask what came in fresh rather than choosing from the cabinet alone, because the good cuts go early. It also pays to say how you plan to cook something, since a chop destined for the barbecue wants different handling from one headed for a casserole. For Crown Hill locals after meat cut properly and close to home, OH DEAR MEATS is an easy first stop.
