A family-owned butcher on King Street in Whakatāne, run for more than 30 years, and the sort of shop that cuts and makes its own products. The counter covers beef, pork, chicken and lamb, along with less common cuts from kangaroo, duck and quail. The shop also makes homemade sausages, gluten-free sausages, salami and hams, and it offers a homekill service, where a farmer's own animal is processed and packed. That service is the reason a butcher like this one matters to people in the wider Whakatāne district.
The shop supports local clubs by running meat raffles for their fundraisers, and it stocks essentials such as bread, milk, eggs and vegetables. Open Locally lists one other supermarket within a kilometre, and the nearest is PAK'nSAVE Whakatāne, 0.4 km away.
