Torbay Village Butchery is a butcher on Beach Road in Long Bay, North Shore City, Auckland, rated 5.0. A good village butcher earns its place by offering things a supermarket meat counter simply can't, custom-made sausages, marinated skewers for a barbecue, or a specific cut prepared exactly the way you want it, rather than a fixed, pre-packaged range. It's worth asking where the meat is actually sourced from, since a proper butchery often has a more traceable supply chain through direct relationships with local farmers than a large chain does, and that's part of what people are paying a bit more for. Ordering ahead for something specific, a whole roast for a gathering, or a particular cut not normally kept in the display case, tends to get a better result than hoping it's available on the day. On Beach Road in Long Bay, Torbay Village Butchery is a local option for that kind of personal butchery service.
