The Local Butcher is a butcher in The Glen, Nelson. A butcher shop like this one sells fresh meat and smallgoods, and it is where people in the neighbourhood go to buy cuts for the week and to ask for advice on how to cook them. A local butcher also gives a shop like this a way to meet the needs of its own neighbourhood, from family dinners to special occasions. Butchers in Nelson's suburbs are a practical choice for anyone who wants to buy meat close to home rather than from a supermarket.
