Christmas 2015

The Tasmanian Christmas

Christmas is a truly special time; a time for family and food, relaxation and celebration, and here at Hill Street we are absolute believers in all of these things!  We start planning our famous Christmas Order Form months in advance, to make sure that your Christmas is stress free.

So, what’s on the list this year? 

So glad you asked!  This year we're featuring the best and brightest old favourites and new local products to make your Christmas extra special.  New season berries, premium Tasmanian ham, beautiful cakes and treats from our local bakeries, and much more!  We have wandered the countryside, and searched high and low, to bring you the best Tasmanian products.

Win your Christmas on us!

This year we are once again running our Christmas competition, whereby one customer from each of our stores will win their Christmas order on us!  To be in the running simply place your Christmas order, in store or online, by Monday 7 December.  Winners will be notified by Monday 14 December.  Full terms and conditions are available at: www.hillstreetgrocer.com/christmas

Tasting the food (yes please!)

Some of the products from our Christmas brochure will be available for tasting over the delis in our stores including: rolled turkey breast,  Hill Street glazed ham, our homemade deluxe seafood pie and Salmon Wellington.  These products will be available for tastings on 5, 6, 12 and 13 December, so keep an eye out for these products and please feel free to ask for a taste test if you would like!

How it works

You can place your order here in our online store, or by using the paper order form over the counter in store - whichever you prefer!  When ordering, just select your items, pay your deposit, specify your pick up day (either 23 or 24 December) and pick up location (one of our seven stores). You will receive an emailed or mailed confirmation and order number. 

Need something that’s not listed here?

You only need to pre-order the items listed in our Christmas brochure, as they are either items that need to be produced especially for Christmas, or items that tend to be in short supply at Christmas time (such as raspberries or strawberries). We assure you that we will have plentiful supplies of most items right through the Christmas period and there is no need to pre-order anything that is not listed here. You will be able to shop for them when you come to collect your Christmas order.

Other orders (including regular online orders) will not be available during this time

We regret that during the week before Christmas we cannot fill orders for any items outside of our Christmas orders. This is because our resources are stretched to the limit during this time and we want to be able to provide customers with their Christmas orders quickly and accurately.  

Please note that Hill Street Online will be closed from 18 - 26 December inclusive, though you are still able to place orders for a later date during this time.

What size, you ask? 

We will allocate preferred ham and turkey sizes, and other items which may become short in supply in the order that they are received – so please order early to avoid disappointment.

Pricing and sourcing of fresh produce

Naturally we can not give firm prices for fresh produce so far in advance but we guarantee that our pricing will be highly competitive and our produce will be of our usual high standard.  Products marked at “market” price will be the best possible market price on the day and we will, wherever possible, match a competitor’s price for the same item, weight and quality.

Please note that we may need to source produce from suppliers other than those listed in the event of adverse weather, crop failure or other reasons for short supply.  In all cases we will obtain the best possible quality produce available.

Pick up procedure 

Bring your order confirmation and order number to the store on your collection day and hand it to one of our team stationed at the front door. While you shop they will locate your order and have it ready behind the counter when you are ready to check out. It is important to keep (and bring with you on collection day) your order confirmation and order number, and please make a note of the name under which you made the order. This will help us to locate your order quickly. Our busiest time on 23 and 24 December is the early morning, so please consider visiting the store a little later in the day to avoid delays.
