The Butcher Lady is a family-operated boutique butcher that offers an exciting shopping experience for customers seeking quality and exceptional customer service.

At this Orewa butchery, you'll discover that the emphasis is on a one-stop experience - not just for gourmets but for everyday cooks who love using fresh butchery products.

The Butcher Lady is the result of owner Jackie Landman's passion for creating delightful meaty treats that everyone can experience. She says she prefers to cater for her customer's appetites and budgets rather than forcing her customers to buy more than they actually want.

Quality is paramount. As traditional butchers preparing all cuts on the premises, the store maintains the highest standards of meat selection, preparation and hygiene.

The store brings a dash of zest back into shopping. It is inviting, fun and reflects the community Jackie serves. You can literally sit back, grab a free coffee or tea, put down their bags, and explore the shop at leisure. The lounge style booths are perfect for kids to sit down while parents shop.

In addition to fine cuts of prime grade meat and selections of free range products, The Butcher Lady also offers a wide range of delicious homemade sausages, as well as a variety of specialty products and dry goods - both locally sourced and imported. For a family dinner, a holiday barbecue or a lavish feast, The Butcher Lady will meet all your needs.

Jackie has been cooking since she was a child in South Africa, and that experience now translates into some mouth watering ready-to-eat food, hot off the oven. She offers smaller portions perfect for one to two people, or they'll cut slices off delicious lamb, pork and beef roast meat.

They do the cooking on request so all the customer has to do is text or call Jackie on 021 288 2430 and she'll have it ready by the time you arrive. This is proving popular with the local residents, especially many elderly residents.

One secret of their success is that Jackie places considerable emphasis on personal relationships - that is, getting to know each customer personally. This is not just about knowing their names but rather about knowing their dietary preferences. If you or a family member is allergic to a particular product, Jackie will remember what to serve you and importantly, what not.

This personal touch is what has made them so popular in such a short time. Customers can ask Jackie or her very considerate husband Garry for something special or their favourite product, and they are happy to oblige.
