How it Works

When do you deliver meals?

We provide meals every weekday except for Bank Holidays. You don’t have to commit to have a meal every day, some of our customers have only one per week.

​Meals arrive between 11 - 1.30. We can’t give a precise time of arrival, but your food will be hot.

How do I choose?

Each week we provide a menu brought out by our volunteers.

​There are two main meal choices per day - we can accommodate vegetarians. There is a pudding option, but if you like, you can order just a main meal without pudding. Just tick the boxes.
 
We can also provide a sandwich for later in the day. These are delivered with a main meal at lunchtime and can be put in the fridge until later. We can only deliver sandwiches on days when you receive a main meal.

How much does it cost?

Main meals are £4.20 each and puddings £1.70.  A sandwich for tea time​ (delivered with a main meal) £2.00. We invoice at the end of each month and you can set up a Direct Debit (ask us for further details), by cash, cheque and bank transfer. We can also accept card payments over the phone. For customers or relatives paying monthly, we post invoices out, but these are available by email too.

What about dietary requirements?

We provide meals suitable for diabetics and also other special diets as requested.
