Changing each week allows the menu to retain incredible freshness and seasonality, dietary requirements are catered for and we have attached a sample menu for you to view. We provide a small set of very simple re-heating instructions to make your supper as easy as possible. We charge £22.50 for this service and delivery is included. We deliver Wednesday – Friday, please see our website for delivery area days. As the food is prepared fresh everyday, you can keep the meals for at least two days in the refrigerator.
