About Us
A family-run business since 1904, Preston’s Master Butchers specialises in providing quality meat and small goods for wholesale, and for individuals and families throughout New Zealand.
Why Preston's Master Butchers?
We are passionate about our people and continually strive to provide our customers with the best value and highest quality product. Today the fourth generation of the family share the same commitment and passion as their forbears.
How Preston's Master Butchers Began
Preston’s Master Butchers was founded by an English butcher, Arthur Edward Preston, who came to New Zealand from Liverpool in the 1890s. Arthur worked for a local meat exporter called the Gear Meat Company before opening his own shop in Tory Street, and he enjoyed phenomenal success. He had seven shops, a smallgoods and pickle factory, a bacon factory in Blenheim, and a fleet of horse-drawn carts which sold fresh meat to residents in the Wellington suburbs.
Arthur’s grandsons went on to open a purpose-built, specialist meat processing operation in Hopper Street in 1978 to supply meat to the trade as well as to the general public.

With such a rich history of supplying the best cuts of meat, both wholesale and to the public, there really is no reason to buy meat from anywhere else. Our online offering includes banquet roasts, and traditional cuts of pork, lamb, beef and chicken. We also have ham, bacon, sausages and something for every occasion!
