The Waiheke Butcher opened in 2025 in Oneroa village, on a site that has been a butcher's shop for about a hundred years. It sells quality cuts alongside a charcuterie range, which the owners say was inspired by L'Authentique, New Zealand's largest charcuterie. The shop calls itself the home of New Zealand's best naturally cured bacon for 2026. Handmade foods from the same team include fresh pasta, bakery items and pies. The shop is at 102 Ocean View Road.
The owners say they want a local butcher who helps people choose the right cut, cook it well and waste less. The team has made handmade foods since 2013, and its brands are stocked in stores nationwide. The food brands say they have won more than 40 food awards. The shop has a team of butchers on the counter and aims to serve the island community. It suits Waiheke residents and visitors who want good meat, cured bacon and handmade food from one local shop.
