Frozen meals

One of our most important objectives is to promote your independence and give you the freedom to manage your needs around what suits you best.

The frozen meal service allows you to have this freedom as you can decide when to have your meal and what type of meal that will be. This service is aimed at those of you who are more able to manage reheating a meal for yourself or for those of you who have a carer who could reheat the meal for you. If you are eligible for community meals, we will arrange a delivery of nutritious frozen meals to you every fortnight. You will receive your delivery every alternate Monday and should expect to receive your meals at around the same time every week (based on the time of your first delivery).

Details of the service

For your first delivery, you will be given a variety of meals consistent with your dietary and cultural needs. Along with this delivery, you will be given an information pack about the service which will include a handbook, catalogue of meals and order forms. You can choose from a range of main courses and desserts.

The minimum delivery is two meals with the maximum being 14.

You can give the driver your order for your next delivery each time s/he delivers to you. Alternatively, you can phone your order through to apetito’s local office.  

You may need a freezer to store some if not all your meals. apetito will provide you with a small, table top freezer that will be on loan to you for the duration of your meals service. You may also need a microwave or a servotherm heating device to reheat your meals. apetito can also provide you with this. All the equipment is free on loan to you and you will be shown how to use the equipment safely by an apetito driver.
