The Local Butcher
About
Found in South Island, The Local Butcher is a local business. The shop sits at cnr Alabama Road & Main South Road, Riverlands 7201, Nueva Zelanda, placing it in the Riverlands area rather than in the centre of a larger town. It operates as a butcher, serving customers who want meat cut and prepared on site.
Meat is the focus here, with counter service for cuts prepared to order. A 4.6 out of 5 average across 87 reviews reflects how customers regard the shop. Queenstown is among the nearby places that frame this part of South Island. The business trades as a butcher rather than a general grocer.
Opening hours run Mo-Fr 07:00-17:00 and Sa 07:00-12:30, giving weekday shoppers a long window and a shorter Saturday morning slot. Two photographs accompany the listing.

South Island's seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
