Hi Everyone - We've opened up our delivery slots for 31 March-3 April.
We would like to be able to get meal boxes to as many people as possible, so if everyone could keep orders to 20 meals or fewer that would be great.
If you are in a particularly difficult situation in relation to getting food, please let us know and we will do our best to prioritise your delivery.
The couriers are under extreme pressure at this time. As such, we can no longer GUARANTEE that your meals will arrive the day after we send them -- although so far all our boxes have arrived safely, albeit sometimes later in the day than normal. Please see T&Cs for more info.

Thanks for your patience, and take care.
19 March 2020 - COVID-19 Info
Hello Customers
As the Coronavirus Pandemic develops, it is possible that we will encounter both supply issues and problems with delivery as and when stricter measures are brought in. There may well also be an issue with keeping up with demand, as we are only a small producer.
As such, we may have to reduce our menu, substitute products or delay deliveries in order to manage stock as best we can. We will of course endeavour to keep customers fully informed of any changes or delays to orders, and would be grateful for your patience and understanding on this.
Please check back to this page for updates as things change in the coming days and weeks.
