Frankton Butchery, at 118 Commerce Street in Frankton, Hamilton, is a traditional local butcher that has been cutting meat for Hamilton since July 2002. It is run by Jim Ashton. The shop sells beef, pork, lamb and poultry in traditional cuts, and its own award-winning sausages, which the shop asks customers to try for themselves. The butchers say no order is too big for them to handle. The shop also makes its own pet food, so the family dog can be catered for on the same visit.
A butcher like this one serves home cooks who want a particular cut cut to order, and families who buy in bulk for the freezer. The sausages are the product the shop names first, so they are the one to try.
Our pick in Frankton for a weekly shop of cuts and sausages from a butcher who knows the meat.
