About The Aussie Butcher Group - Botany

A New Zealand-owned butcher in Botany, Auckland, in business since 1984. The website says it sources meat from paddock to plate, and that it has one of the largest ranges in Auckland, including barbecue items, charcoal and rotisserie chickens. The shop sells New Zealand lamb, pork and chicken, and at Christmas it sells hams on the bone and champagne-style cuts. The website says that for every ham sold in store, 100% New Zealand farmed pork is used. Customers mention meat quality most often, followed by sausages, meat cuts, brisket, scotch fillet, pork crackling and biltong. Customers can buy in bulk, and some say the shop feels like a traditional butcher's, with a set-up inside.

Regular customers say the meat is fresh and among the best around, and that the staff are fantastic. One customer has had a Christmas turkey deboned and stuffed by the butcher for two years, and says it has never been better. Another says the choice and variety are good all year round. One customer had a poor experience at the counter and says the cashier was rude. Staff members are not named in this description.
