History

The Evans family who emigrated from England first established Evans Bacon Company Ltd in 1921. Bringing with them age-old family recipes that are still proving popular today. Over the years, Evans has changed hands. In 1970 Graeme and Margaret Norris purchased the business from Fred Whitely and Dorothy McMullen. And in 2010 Steve and Jaki Watson purchased the business from Margaret Norris.

The famous Evans recipes changed hands once more. Well only 4 times in 91 years. Initially, Evans Bacon Company was a local butcher shop in the town of Gisborne, and then due to its success, it has grown year after year to a prominent Meat Supermarket. Broadening its market in the East Coast Region, and now recently all over the North Island.

With the reputation spreading throughout the North Island and many coming in from out of town always comment that we have the best of everything. We don't boast on people's opinions, though it's nice to hear them; rather we focus on the results, of bringing quality meat to all of our customers. No short cuts, just perfection!

Today, Evans Bacon Co. has this website so that we can provide all New Zealanders the same service as our local customers. You can go log onto our website and order your goods online, then we'll deliver it to your door. "Happy Shopping!"
