Yes, Halswell Butchery delivers to Kennedys Bush 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 right next door to Kennedys Bush, and we deliver fresh, locally sourced meat straight to homes across this quiet hillside suburb. 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.
Kennedys Bush takes its name from Thomas Kennedy, an Irishman who bought 28 acres on the hills above Halswell in 1856 and opened a sawmill, felling timber from the bush and hauling it down a track using bullocks. That original route became known as Kennedys Track, then Quarry Road, then Pattersons Road, before finally settling on Kennedys Bush Road, the name it still carries today. The first residential subdivision here did not arrive until 1913, and even now Kennedys Bush remains one of the smallest and quietest suburbs in the area, with a median age well above the Christchurch average.
That quiet, established character is part of why Kennedys Bush households often prefer a proper delivered order over multiple trips into town, and being right on our doorstep means we can turn those orders around quickly.
Although it carries the Halswell name, Halswell Quarry Park actually sits within Kennedys Bush at 185 Kennedys Bush Road. The quarry itself ran from the 1860s until 1990, and stone cut here went into some of Christchurch's most significant buildings, including the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings, Canterbury Museum, and the Sign of the Takahe. Three original quarry buildings still stand in the park today, including the manager's residence built in 1926, and the site now offers walking tracks, mountain biking, and a series of sister city gardens.
Living alongside a piece of Christchurch's industrial history is part of the appeal of Kennedys Bush, and having your meat delivered means more time to enjoy the quarry park on the weekend rather than running errands.
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??
