About

I’m Ben Andrews, owner and Head Butcher of The Classic Butcher. I’m a kiwi who has spent the last 15 years in Canada with my Canadian wife and our four kids, ages 4, 10, 13, and 14. We moved back to NZ in 2021and have settled into Hawke’s Bay to start a new chapter. 

Butchery is my passion. I love working with local farms and businesses to produce food you can be proud to serve at your table to Whanau and friends. 

I look forward to seeing you in the shop!
