The Heart of
Central Butchery

At Central Butchery, great food starts with great ingredients — and tradition you can taste.

Born from a passion for quality meat and South African butchery traditions, Central Butchery was created to bring the kind of service and flavour that runs deep in our family. The kind where your butcher knows your name, understands what you’re cooking, and takes pride in every cut, just like generations before us did back home.

Our story begins in South Africa, where biltong wasn’t just a snack, it was heritage. When our family brought those time-honoured recipes and techniques to New Zealand, we knew we wanted to share more than great meat. We wanted to share a tradition built on craftsmanship, patience, and respect for the product.

We carefully source our products and prepare them with skill and attention to detail. From everyday family staples to specialty cuts and handcrafted favourites like authentic South African biltong and droëwors, everything we offer is made with quality and care at the forefront.

For us, it’s not just about selling meat. It’s about serving our community and helping you put something exceptional on the table, whether it’s a midweek dinner or a weekend feast.

Central Butchery is proud to be your local butcher, built on South African tradition, driven by Kiwi quality, and focused on flavour.
