A butcher shop at 12 Mawhitiwhiti Road in Normanby, South Taranaki, which has served the district for almost 30 years and has been owned by its current family since 2022. The shop processes 100% New Zealand meat for retail, and sells beef, pork, lamb and flavoured sausages, including pure beef, pork, lamb, gluten free, herb and garlic, smoky bacon and maple, and Texan chilli. Cuts include eye fillet, silverside, mince, porterhouse, rump, scotch steak, chops, leg of lamb, bacon and pork and lamb bones. Dog bones are sold too. A rolled whole sheep or lamb is listed at $100 as at 2026. Prices change with the supplier, so the shop asks people to call or visit for current prices. Retail prices include GST, and home kill prices do not.
The shop also offers a home kill service, where it slaughters and processes an animal to the customer's instructions. Deer must be skinned before they are brought in. Customers come from Eltham, Hawera, Inglewood, New Plymouth, Okato, Opunake, Patea, Stratford, Whanganui, Waverly and the coastal settlements. Reviewers praise the selection and quality of the meat, the value for money, and the bones for a boil up. One customer was saved on the day before a wedding, when 30 steaks were cut in front of them. Reviews are mixed. One reviewer found the counter staff friendly but says a butcher was rude, and felt they had spent a lot and would have gone elsewhere.
