Waipawa Butchery - Premium Beef, Lamb, Pork, Chicken & Ready Meals Shop instore or online www.waipawabutchery.co.nz

Family butchery in Waipawa, Central Hawke's Bay. Paddock to plate, 15kms farm to butchery.

Premium beef, lamb, pork, chicken, smoked bacon, award winning sausages, small goods, heat & eat ready meals. All beef and lamb in the Waipawa Butchery shops are finished on Patangata Station, 15 and 35kms away from the Waipawa and Havelock North shops respectively. We own the Station and we own the butcheries, so we can be in full control of the entire process to ensure consistent quality meat for our customers. Our animals nibble away 365 days of the year on the most delicious mix of nutrient rich green plants: clover, plantain, kale and a range of the land of the Long White Cloud’s natural grasses, that surround the hills of Patangata in Central Hawke’s Bay. The chicken and pork will always be sourced from the finest suppliers who share our farming philosophy. The chicken is all from Bostock Brothers Free Range Organic Chicken farms which is a Hawke’s Bay family owned chicken business. Bostock chickens are grown naturally, so as a result the meat is better formed, and is of a higher quality with a superior taste. Our pork is 100% New Zealand-sourced, mainly from Fresh Pork NZ - a family owned pork business based in Canterbury. As the country’s leading pork supplier, they operate under the PigCare™ accreditation system. This ensures the pigs have been grown in NZ under world-class welfare standards. They are free from added growth hormones, unnecessary antibiotics, and are compliant with New Zealand food safety standards. All our cattle, sheep and pigs are gender specific – they are female because female meat isn’t filled with hormones. It is more succulent, juicy, tender and flavoursome.

A little lunchtime celebration for Team WB!

To thank our awesome staff and celebrate Rhys being crowned NZ’s Best Young Butcher, we got our good mate Steve from The Waffleman to swing in and feed us all lunch!

I even zipped a couple of beef burgers out to Bob and Duncan on the farm. Very happy farmers!

Made with our beef mince… you can’t go wrong!

We received this awesome message from one of our customers following Rhys’ big win, and it was too good not to share:

“What a credit to Rhys and also to Waipawa Butchery... I knew there was a reason why I shopped here! A real feather in the cap and befitting the reputation of the butchery and its staff. You should all take a bow. Well done, I am stoked for Rhys.”

NEW ZEALAND’S BEST YOUNG BUTCHER IS FROM WAIPAWA, CHB!

Our very own Rhys has taken out the Pact Packaging Young Butchery Competition and is officially New Zealand’s Best Young Butcher!

We’re absolutely stoked for Rhys and so proud to have him as part of our team.

He’s the one doing the business on the knives, but his workmates have played their part too, with plenty of support, encouragement and banter both on and off the knives!

A huge thank you to Retail Meat New Zealand, Pact Packaging and all the sponsors for creating these awesome opportunities for young butchers like Rhys to learn, compete and show what they can do.

What an achievement Rhys, you’ve done yourself, the team and Waipawa proud!
