Moore Wilson’s Wellington

This was my first time visiting Moore Wilson, and I absolutely loved the variety of products and delicatessen they offer. I’ll definitely be coming back to discover more new things to try!

Moore Wilson’s is hands down one of Wellington’s best-kept secrets—if you know, you know! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with an incredible selection of fresh produce, gourmet ingredients, specialty imports, and everything in between. The quality is consistently top-tier, and the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. The atmosphere is clean, organised, and buzzing with energy. The fresh bakery items are outstanding, the meat and seafood counters are always well-stocked and pristine, and the artisan cheese and wine selection is unmatched in the city. It’s a food lover’s paradise—and whether you’re a chef, home cook, or just someone who appreciates great food, Moore Wilson’s is a must-visit. Wellington wouldn't be the same without it!

Sharply priced, quality products, with excellent customer service. I was accidentally sent an incorrect item, however, the team quickly responded to my query, a new item was sent, along with a return label for a courier - outstanding! I will continue to use Moore Wilson's going forward and visit whenever I am in Wellington!

Did my first shop here back in 2007 and still shop here at least once a week. Sure, prices may be higher than the grocery chains, but there is no comparison when it comes to the quality of the fresh produce, meats, baked goods and specialty ingredients. And, when you need a new tool for your kitchen, you'll find an outstanding selection of the quality products. Lastly, there's the customer service. In my opinion it has no equal in Wellington. Always friendly and always helpful.

Is Moore Wilson's the best shop in the world? I like to imagine so. Many years back when my son was a sprite the upstairs toy section saw him through those developmental stages - Thomas the Tank Engine, Lego, water weaponry assorted. My kitchen, if not festooned is certainly adorned with cookware and contraptions from the hospitality section, my arteries have been seriously imperilled by the extraordinary cheese selection in both the cash and carry (1.25 kg block of Swiss style cheese anybody?), and Moore Wilson's Fresh. MWF has supported my - however unconvincing - feinschmecking affectations, and then there's the wine and spirits corner where a tiny Falstaff-ian homunculus always threatens to burst from my chest in happy carousing at the sight of those serried racks of libations. The staff are invariably kindly and welcoming,I still recall during those early visits years back with my young son, him being invited to put his name down for a job there once he was of age. In the event he chose other employment but the feeling of being invited to be part of, if not a family, certainly a community remains. Definitely a place to make your own.
