Yes, Halswell Butchery delivers to Oaklands 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 just around the corner from Oaklands, and we deliver fresh, locally sourced meat straight to homes across the 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.
Oaklands takes its name from Halswell House, the property that once stood on the land, which an early owner renamed Oaklands after the oak trees lining its driveway. The subdivision that created the modern suburb only began around 1960, when a later owner, Karl Scott, carved up the property, and Oaklands School opened not long after to serve the new families moving in. Sandwiched neatly between Aidanfield and Halswell, Oaklands has stayed one of the more established, settled pockets of this fast growing part of Christchurch.
That settled, family focused character is a big part of why so many Oaklands households order their meat for the week in one go rather than making several trips, and delivery from just around the corner in Halswell fits neatly into that routine.
Oaklands residents are within a few minutes of two very different Christchurch landmarks, the Air Force Museum of New Zealand at nearby Wigram and Halswell Quarry Park with its walking and mountain bike tracks. Locals also have Oaklands School right in the suburb, one of three full primary schools serving the wider Halswell area alongside Halswell School and Knights Stream School.
With so much going on close to home, from school pick ups to weekend trips to the quarry, having your meat delivered rather than driving further afield to shop is exactly the kind of convenience our Oaklands customers tell us they value most.
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??
