About Rocket

Making good food that Kiwis love

Rocket juicy beef burgers and saucy beef balls are fired with Rocket Fuel Sauce. This moreish and much-loved sauce, a firm favourite on breakfast, brunch and BBQ tables across Aotearoa, was created in 1989 by the founder of Burger Wisconsin, a local Kiwi lad called Mick, who knew a thing or two about flavour and how to make a good burger. Rocket sauce and meat products have been created with a simple mantra, ‘make good food that Kiwis love’.

Butchers, farmers and flavour makers

Today, the Rocket range is produced by Taylor Preston, a proudly Kiwi-as company started in 1991 by three pioneering New Zealand families. The Taylor and Grace families have farmed here for almost two centuries, and the Prestons, master butchers, have provided artisan butchery cuts and smallgoods in Wellington for more than 100 years. Taylor Preston is 100% New Zealand owned and located in Ngauranga Gorge, minutes from New Zealand’s bustling harbour capital. Rocket products are made with the finest quality 100% prime New Zealand beef and lamb, grass-fed and grazed on the fertile and lush pastures of the Wairarapa, Manawatu, Rangitikei, and the rolling hills of southern Hawke’s Bay.
