About Thomson's Butchery

A butchery at 7 Gravatt Road in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, which is known for its West Coast bacon and sausages, made from meat from Hari Hari on the West Coast. The business says the bacon and sausages have won awards, and describes its craft as hands-on butchery using methods passed down through generations. Its online shop sells dry cured and smoked pork collar bacon, and beef sausage meat in packs of 500 to 600 grams. Online orders are packed with ice packs and shipped by courier within seven working days.

Reviewers mention the sausages most often, and describe them as a huge hit. One customer ordered 100 pure beef sausages at short notice, and the butchers were able to supply them. Another visited on a Sunday, which one reviewer says is unusual in Tauranga, and found the sausages fantastic for a barbecue. Sausage flavours mentioned include jalapeño, cheddar and cashew. English pork pies are also praised, with one reviewer saying they tasted as good as the Melton Mowbray originals.
