Continental Meats, at 57G Cavendish Drive in Manukau City Centre, is a halal butcher that says all its meat is 100% certified halal. The website lists beef, chicken, lamb and goat, whole animals and cuts, plus marinated meats, sausages, biltong, luncheons and salami, patties, pies, sausage rolls, frozen rolls, and meat-free favourites. It also sells sauces, spices and marinades, and says its deli products, such as sausages, pies and luncheons, are made on site.
Customers mention marinated meats most often, along with halal meat, quality and goat meat. One said the lamb chops and steaks are the best they have had, and another said the pies are amazing. Staff are described as polite and quick to respond. Beef trotters were posted to New Plymouth, cleaned and well packed, at a reasonable charge. One customer was disappointed by a boerewors casing that fell apart on the grill, and said they were charged more per kilogram than the website advertised.
