Hot, fresh or frozen?
There are three basic types of ready meal delivery service. Those delivering hot ready meals, those delivering fresh foods and those delivering frozen ready meals. You’ll need to decide which one suits your requirements best:
- Hot Ready Meals: There are hot meals on wheels services which can bring individual hot meals to your door at specific meal times. It arrives cooked and ready to eat but will only be delivered as one meal at a time.
-
Fresh Ready Meals: Some services such as supermarkets will deliver fresh or chilled ready meals that can be stored in the fridge and then heated up when you want them. A nice way to eat fresh but often the meals have a restrictive time window in which to eat them.
-
Frozen Ready Meals: Specialist services such as Wiltshire Farm Food can provide delicious and nutritious frozen ready meals that can be stored in the freezer ready to go whenever the mood strikes. Meals can be bought individually, in packs or in bulk and are delivered by friendly, reliable drivers straight to your door
