Greytown Butchery

Julie & Gavin are excited to win Category Champion last night for Greytown Butchery's Moroccan Lamb & Raisin Sausage at the 2026 Dunningham's Great New Zealand Sausage Competition! The Flavours of the World category win became a tie with Mapari Meats, who also went on to win the overall Supreme Award of the Competition. Judging was tight this year with competition being so close & it's great to stack up another award for our multi-awarding winning Moroccan Lamb & Raisin Sausage! Thanks to Pete for collecting the award on our behalf & thanks to our team & customers for your support!

Yes, Gavin is finally back this week after a tricky couple of months off. He's still one handed at the moment & a big thank you to the Greytown Butchery team for keeping the shop going while Gavin was out of action. While we are still temporarily closed on Sundays we do have some wonderful news share, at the end of August we got a lovely surprise to get a call for this year's NZ Sausage Competition for another award for one of our sausages! We only entered one, but what award we get, we still have to wait to find out! We were not going to enter this year with the hand operation issues, but glad we popped an entry in! Yay! Way to go team!
