All our chilled food is individually labelled with best before dates and can be kept in the fridge until then – usually between 3-7 days. If you are freezing your items, please put in the freezer straight away where they can be kept for up to 3 months from the best before date.

Our Sambal jars last between 3months – 1 year and are also labelled with best before dates. You can keep them unopened in a cupboard until the best before date but please put in the fridge once opened

Deliveries

All orders are sent out every other Wednesday via 24hr courier service for delivery on every other Thursday.

Orders must be placed by Sunday midnight for delivery the following week

 

You must select your delivery date at checkout.

All over the UK!! Anywhere in the UK that Parcel Force goes, we go – this includes England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland

Packages to Scotish Highlands may take an additional day depending on weather etc, but your food will remain safe and chilled in our special boxes 🙂

Our dishes are vacuum sealed for freshness in completely plastic-free, home compostable bags. These are then packed chilled in 100% curb-side recyclable insulation and boxes with reusable ice packs. The food is delivered chilled at fridge temperature, not frozen

Sambals and sauces are stored in glass jars

Delays with our courier are rare but may happen and are unfortunately out of our control. The chilled food in your order box will stay at a safe temperature for 48 hours from dispatch, so as long as you receive it by Friday and put it straight in the fridge/freezer it will be perfectly fine to consume. If your delivery is delayed by more than 48 hours, please throw away any chilled food and let us know, we will resend out your order the following week.

Once your order has been dispatched, the best way to get information about it’s progress is by contacting Parcel Force directly – we sadly don’t have any special inside information
