FAQs...

How much does the service cost?

The service costs £55/month. This equates to less than £6.50 for a two course meal, including delivery. The service is invoiced at the end of each month and invoices are payable in various ways including by direct debit.

What if I can’t afford the cost?

If you have a low income, we can help, please get in touch with us to discuss a funded place.

When are the meals delivered?

We deliver lunches to clients twice a week through the year- with one special meal each week at Christmas & New Year. Meals are delivered between approximately 11:45am & 1:15pm on regular, pre-agreed days. Delivery days are weekdays only.

What if I want meals delivered more than twice a week?

We may be able to offer you a second place with the service- so meals are delivered 4 days a week. The service would then cost £110/month. Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss arranging this.

What if I don’t want to eat the meal at lunchtime?

As meals are prepared fresh you can allow them to cool & reheat them later. You will need to allow meals to cool for 1hr at room temperature then refrigerate them, only reheat meals once & make sure the food is piping hot all the way through before eating.

What if I have special dietary requirements?

We can accommodate any food allergies, intolerances and dietary requirements you may have. We will check if you have any when you start the service – and ask that you please keep us updated with any changes.
