Yes, Halswell Butchery delivers to Burnham as part of our wider Selwyn and Canterbury delivery zone, which also covers West Melton and Springston.
Halswell Butchery is a locally owned Christchurch butchery that has been supplying quality meat to Canterbury households since 2007. While our retail shop is based at 490 Sparks Road in Halswell, we deliver fresh, locally sourced meat straight to homes and workplaces across Burnham and the wider Selwyn district. You get the same cuts, the same quality, and the same friendly service that our Christchurch customers have relied on for years, without the drive into town.
Order online and choose delivery or click and collect, and your meat arrives vacuum packed and kept cold in a chilltainer so it stays fresh from our shop to your door.
Burnham Military Camp has been training New Zealand soldiers since 1923 and today around 1,300 military and civilian personnel work on base, including the 2nd 1st Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, the New Zealand Army Band, and the New Zealand Defence Force Health School, where every Army, Navy, and Air Force medic in the country completes their training. During the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, Burnham's main dining mess fed 3,000 people at a single sitting as the camp became a base for one of the largest humanitarian responses the NZDF has ever run.
With a working population that size, Burnham is used to being fed efficiently and well, and that is exactly the standard we hold ourselves to with every order delivered to the district.
Long before it became a military camp, the Burnham site was home to the Burnham Industrial School from 1874, a school for children who had been neglected or gotten into trouble, and All Saints Church, built in 1864, was later moved onto the school grounds. In 1882, astronomers observed the transit of Venus from Burnham, and a stone cairn on site still commemorates the sighting. Burnham School has been educating local children since at least 1891, long before the camp took its current shape in the 1920s.
That long history, sitting quietly behind the modern base, is part of what makes Burnham such an interesting corner of Selwyn to deliver to. Whether you are on base or in the surrounding rural district, your order arrives the same way, vacuum packed and kept cold for the trip out.
If you are a lover of cheese - then you have to try Barry's Bay. The local Akaroa cheese monger makes beautiful cheeses that are perfect for your next platter - or up'ing your burger game. The cheeses are available in store AND NOW ONLINE!
Our hams are all cooked on the premises, with minimal water added. You can purchase them whole, or we can slice to order.
All the bacon we sell is dry cured the old-style way on our premises. As the name suggests, dry curing means that no water is added. This ensures that whether you are pan frying or grilling, the bacon doesn't steam, ensuring you get a lovely, crispy result. Perfect for your weekend breakfast!
A large range of loin, shoulder and Danish style (using just the eye) options, with or without rind are available. Check them out next time you're in.
Our premium steaks are all aged at least two weeks to maximize flavour.
Fillet steak is the tenderest cut available and is so lean, there is almost no waste.
Ribeye steak has a little more marbling, which many believe provides a superior flavour.
We stock a full range of salamis - from a feisty pepperoni, to strong garlic through to mild for those who like to take things a little more slowly.
If you're after an elegant addition to your antipasto platters, look no further than our delicious Prosciutto. Air dried and sliced thin, it's also fantastic to wrap around other meats or fruits.
Another one to try is our Pancetta - Italian bacon which adds a sophisticated touch to pasta and stew.
Sliced Chorizo is another option to spice up your antipasto. It's superb on crackers, or in many Spanish tapas dishes.
Kransky sausages, with their distinctive smoky flavour, make a great alternative for hot dogs, and are usually a big hit with the kids.
Frankfurters are the more traditional hot dog option - and who says you have to wait for the weather to get warm to enjoy a sausage in a bun??
