Yes, Halswell Butchery delivers to Springston as part of our wider Selwyn and Canterbury delivery zone, which also covers West Melton and Burnham.
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 Springston 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.
Springston grew up around the railway to Southbridge, which opened in 1876, and the hotel built that year still stands on the same site today. St Mary's Church, built in 1875, was designed by Christchurch architect Frederick Strouts, who later designed the historic Ivey Hall at Lincoln University just down the road. The old George Roy clothing factory building, the original Springston school house, and the old Methodist parsonage are all still standing, giving this small township a surprising amount of heritage character for its size.
For a settlement this size, with a population of only a few hundred, that history matters more than it might elsewhere, and it is part of why we treat every Springston order the same way we would a Halswell local, packed with care and delivered on time.
Springston is genuinely rural, split informally into Springston and Springston South, with the LII River running nearby on its way to Lake Ellesmere, known in te reo Maori as Te Waihora. Most families here send their children to the historic Springston School, which opened in 1868, before moving on to Lincoln High School, and many residents commute the short distance to Lincoln or into Christchurch for work. Broadfield sits just a few kilometres to the northeast, and Lincoln itself is only around five kilometres east.
Living on a rural property between two rivers and two towns often means a proper meat order rather than a quick supermarket top up, and that is exactly the kind of order our delivery service was built to handle.
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??
