Avonhead Quality Meats is a butcher shop at 6/376 Riccarton Rd in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, with a 4.0 Google rating.
Butchery rewards a little conversation. A good butcher cuts to order, trims the way you ask, and will often steer you towards humbler cuts — chuck, brisket, shoulder — that beat anything at eye level once they've had a long, slow cook. Say what you're making and the counter should portion to suit and send you off with a rough cooking time. Regulars learn which days the fresh stock lands and order ahead before weekend rushes.
A handy stop for Upper Riccarton locals doing the weekly shop along Riccarton Road.
