Chef's Choice is a butcher at 106C Ikitara Road in Whanganui East, and it also works as a wholesale meat supplier to restaurants, cafes, culinary schools and retailers. The website says the team has more than 180 years of combined butchery experience and has traded since 2004. The processing facility cuts products to order. Refrigerated trucks deliver Monday to Friday, and next-day delivery nationwide is available by arrangement. To set up a trade order, you phone or email to make an appointment with a representative. The website names AngusPure beef, Coastal Lamb and Lumina lamb, which is raised in the New Zealand hill and high country, among its supply partners.
Reviewers call it a good butcher with beautifully cut meat, a good variety and reasonable prices. Sausages come up often. One uses the shop for family roasts when hosting, and says the staff help when unsure how much meat to buy. Another says orders arrive on time and without errors, and that halal options are available. The same cutting work serves restaurants and family roasts alike.
