JM Food and Butchery is a butcher and Filipino food business at 3/15 Princess Street in Takanini, Papakura. Its distinctive feature is the mix of meat and Filipino food: it sells New Zealand meat at affordable prices and a range of Filipino food products, including made-to-order longanisa and tocino.
The business began in 1993 as a BBQ caravan food stall run by Joel Montarde and his wife Mina, and it now runs a butchery and meat shop as well. The caravan BBQ also trades at Auckland flea markets, including Ōtara and St John's, and the website says it is loved by Filipino and international customers alike. Frozen products can be taken home, and products are sold across New Zealand through stockists. The shop is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5:30pm, and the business is a wholesaler to outlets nationwide.
