The Mad Butcher Upper Hutt is part of the nationwide Mad Butcher chain, founded by Sir Peter Leitch in 1971 and known across New Zealand for providing meat for Kiwi BBQs, roasts and everyday meals. The store carries beef, chicken, lamb, pork, small goods, frozen goods and grocery items, with meat delivered to stores fresh each day and cut and packed on site by skilled staff.
All carcass beef and lamb is NZ Quality Mark certified, fresh pork is 100% NZ grown, and chicken is supplied by Tegel, New Zealand's leading poultry brand. In-store Master Butchers are available to cut meat to any requirement and offer advice on cooking and carving. The Mad Butcher also has a long history of community support, including a HAND UP price on BBQ sausages for local fundraising groups.
The Mad Butcher Upper Hutt is part of a nationwide chain founded by the notable Sir Peter Leitch in 1971, and since then has provided the meat for millions of Kiwi BBQs, roasts and other family meals.
At the Mad Butcher, the philosophy is quality meat at a great price. All carcass beef and lamb is NZ Quality Mark certified, carcass fresh pork is 100% NZ grown, and chicken is supplied by Tegel, New Zealand's leading poultry brand. Meat is delivered to stores fresh each day, then cut and packed on site by skilled staff — you can't get much fresher than that.
In-store Master Butchers are available to cut meat to any requirement, along with offering advice on everything from cooking to carving tips. The team's passion for meat and friendly service aims to make every visit a pleasure.
The Mad Butcher has always been a strong supporter of the local community. Sir Peter Leitch himself was awarded the Queen's Service Medal for services to the community in 1991, and while even he doesn't know the exact total, his charitable giving runs into the millions of dollars. The Mad Butcher continues this tradition today with a HAND UP price on BBQ sausages for anyone fundraising — simply visit the local store and let them know what the fundraiser is for.
