ABOUT

Matamata Butchery has been a trusted name in the community for many years, providing top-quality NZ beef, lamb, pork, and chicken. Graham and Debbie Hornsey became the sole owners in 2021, after 22 years of partnership with Wayne and Shelley Dickinson, continuing their commitment to exceptional butchery and service.

Originally located on Arawa Street, we listened to the needs of Matamata and moved our retail butchery and homekill operations to Firth Street. With plenty of parking and a convenient shopping experience, we make it easy to access the best fresh meat in town.

We operate a dual butchery, providing both premium fresh meat for our retail customers and homekill services for our rural community. We process homekill beef, sheep, and pigs with the highest standards, ensuring quality and safety. As an MPI-audited facility, we adhere to strict food safety and quality control measures.

As a locally owned butcher shop, we take pride in offering quality meat at competitive prices, paired with friendly, personalised service. Our team knows our customers and are always ready to help you find the perfect cut.

We specialise in a wide range of quality meats, from tender eye fillet and juicy lamb chops to our famous in-house beef sausages, handcrafted right here in-store.

At Matamata Butchery, we believe that better meat means better eating - and it goes further. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask! We’re always happy to help and can source or prepare exactly what you need.

Beyond delivering great meat, we are passionate about supporting local clubs, schools, and community events. When you shop with us, you're not just buying premium NZ beef and lamb - you're supporting a small-town butcher that truly cares.
