I got a different meal to what I ordered, what do I do?
As the meals are made and packed by humans rather than machines the odd mistake is bound to happen. Please simply give us a call and we'll sort things out.
My meals defrosted on the courier - what is your refund policy?
Please phone us as soon as possible and we will a) give the courier a telling off and b) arrange for the return of the defrosted meals and then c) send out new frozen meals that will arrive frozen!
What if I'm not home when the courier arrives?
They are instructed to leave in a shady place by the door. Meals should stay frozen for most of the day. Please get them into a freezer ASAP. If you know you have to go out simply call our staff and we can make arrangements to suit.

What's the difference between the personal service and the next day courier service?

Is fresh or frozen food better for you?
The technology of frozen food has improved dramatically in recent years and it is now possible to freeze food in a matter of minutes.

I am thinking about ordering these for my elderly mother. What is the difference between Meals on Wheels and this option?
Meals on Wheels are delivered hot in the middle of the day with no choice of meal. The Tomorrows Meals option gives customers a choice and variety of meals that they can heat and eat when it suits them. Also Meals on Wheels often do not deliver in the weekends whereas Tomorrows Meals can provide meals 7 days of the week.
