About Willis Street

Willis Street is a butcher at 59 Campbell Street, Hāwera, in South Taranaki, currently rated 5.0 on Google. A good butcher earns their keep at the counter: cutting to order, tying a roast, and talking you out of an expensive steak when a cheaper cut would suit the meal better. Regulars ask what came in fresh that week rather than working from a set list, because the best value often sits in the secondary cuts — beef shin, lamb shoulder, pork belly — that reward low, slow cooking. Country butchers are usually close to the source as well, so it pays to ask where the meat was raised and how long it has been hung. For Hāwera locals, Willis Street puts a neighbourhood butcher's counter on Campbell Street in South Taranaki.
