The Kiwi Butcher Shop originally started life as Mc Cready's Butchery, a small retail shop built up on Brooklands Road in New Plymouth, back in 1954. It had a small open window display cabinet from which it sold goods to the people of nearby Vogeltown and Brooklands neighbourhoods....
Here at the shop we know your furry kids are part of the family too..... And you'd prefer to eat your steak in peace, rather than listen to the whimpers and look at the doe eyes just begging for a bite of what's on your plate!
There is a corner of our store dedicated for pups and cats and even birds as we now make bird feeders that you can hang in the yard to feed the birds over winter, made from 100% NZ Beef Fat.
Pies are a Kiwi staple. Some consider them to be a whole food - Readily eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For some they are just a snack between meals! Whatever the case maybe, we know kiwi's are crazy about meat pies.
The flaky pastry, that first bite as the steam rushes out to burn you and the meat starts dribbling out. You can almost smell it just thinking about them!
We pride ourselves on the our variety of our meat packs.
We have 'Meat for the Week' packs that easily feed a families of 2/3, 3/4 and 4/5 people for the week with everything already cut, diced and ready to go go for your ease and convenience.
We have meat packs that focus on your favourite meats - 'Merrilambs' and the 'Chooklands Bowl.....
Got a family get-together or special occasion like a wedding or a birthday coming up? Do you just need to feed a crowd? A spit roast lamb or pig or any rolled meat is a super easy and generally an economical way to feeding lots of people, not to mention it's outrageously delicious!
Whether it's for a good cause, like a pink or blue ribbon breakfast, a sports team wanting to travel to compete, subsidising a school camp or raising funds for those who can't help themselves, it's always a worthy cause. Fundraising is no easy task these days, but here is how we can help you out....
Everyone deserves a little love in their life.....
