• Spend $250 dollars for a Free Chicken
• Spend $450 for a Free Roast Pork

We have resumed our normal hours Monday to Saturday and our friendly team are here to help you find all your favourite things. Please make sure you wear your mask, scan in and give others a bit of space. Luckily we have a huge showroom, with plenty of new products that arrived during lockdown, and heaps of Christmas gift ideas.

You can shop online if you prefer, but you will need to collect the Christmas giveaway from our Rawhiti St store as we cannot deliver the Christmas meats.
