About Bethlehem Butchery

A family-run butchery on State Highway 2 in Bethlehem, Tauranga, that the site says was established in 1920. The current owner took over from his father, and the family has run the shop since they bought it in 2002. The shop sells locally sourced beef, pork, lamb and chicken, with steaks, specialty sausages and premium cuts. Meat boxes can be ordered online or in store. The website also has recipes that suit its cuts, including a rib-eye steak with porcini and port butter, a char-grilled sirloin, lamb shanks and pork cutlets. Reviewers praise the quality and tenderness of the meat, and one says a beef and cheese pie was full of tender meat and good value. The butcher is described as passionate and friendly. One reviewer says it is not cheap, but worth it for a special occasion. The site notes that the cabinet is filled with care every day, and the shop has had a facelift to feel welcoming.
