Yes, Halswell Butchery delivers to Hoon Hay as part of our Christchurch delivery zone.
Halswell Butchery is a locally owned Christchurch butchery that has been supplying quality meat to Canterbury households since 2007. Our retail shop at 490 Sparks Road is close by in Halswell, and we deliver fresh, locally sourced meat straight to homes across Hoon Hay. You get the same cuts, the same quality, and the same friendly service as our Halswell customers, without needing to leave home.
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.
Despite how it sounds, Hoon Hay takes its name from a farm in Hoon, Derbyshire, the childhood home of Captain Wickham Talbot Harvey, a British Royal 10th Hussars officer who settled the area in 1852. Harvey only lasted four years before a fire destroyed his property, prompting his return to the United Kingdom, and further fires in later years cleared much of the original woodland that once stood there. Today Hoon Hay is a genuinely sizeable suburb of close to 9,500 people, considerably larger than most of its Port Hills neighbours, yet it still borders farmland and the semi rural Hoon Hay valley to its south.
That combination of established suburban streets backing onto open countryside is part of what makes Hoon Hay such a distinctive part of the Halswell butchery's delivery area, serving everyone from long time residents to newer arrivals drawn by the valley outlook.
The Cashmere Stream, a tributary of the Ōpāwaho or Heathcote River, flows down from the Port Hills and directly through Hoon Hay on its way to join the wider river system. The suburb sits at the base of the hills, bordered by Hillmorton and Spreydon to the north, Somerfield and Cashmere to the east, and Halswell to the southwest, putting it within easy reach of our Sparks Road shop.
For Hoon Hay households who value that semi rural, stream side feel but still want the convenience of a proper meat order without the drive, our delivery service bridges that gap neatly.
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??
