Well done! 🎊🎊🎊, Helen Gardner, 2 months ago > I popped in for lunch today. Anthea served me and she was so friendly and helpful. I had a small salad and coffee. Both the food and coffee were great. I’ll definitely visit again., Norma Miller, 4 months ago > Tailgated for ages by your red company car, I was going at least 57km down a 50 road, and your vehicle was centimetres away. Terrible look for your business. I’ve reported this incident online, and provided dash cam footage to the police; surely I’m not the only one judging by previous reports of bad driving on here (!) What silly behaviour in a clearly identifiable company car. Will never purchase from you again on principle, plenty of other local butchers to support that do not condone dangerous and reckless driving, google user, 7 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5116217&lon=172.6210791) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5116217,172.6210791,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Traiteur%20European%20Butchery) - [Merivale](https://www.chch.live/merivale), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11066020861), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Traiteur European Butchery?** A butcher in Merivale, Christchurch. **Where is Traiteur European Butchery?** Somewhere in Merivale, the record holds no street address.
