They are provided to people who are homebound permanently or temporarily and either of pensionable age or otherwise unable to look after themselves.
Are they ready to eat?
The meals are prepared at Noble's Hospital kitchens and fast chilled delivered to you the next day in refrigerated vans. You will then need to reheat them yourself by putting the whole container in a microwave or ordinary oven.
Are they delivered every day?

The chilled meals will keep in a refrigerator for up to 3 days and you can choose what time of day to eat the meal or keep it until the following day, as long as they are eaten before the expiry date displayed on the meal.
Do I have to pay?
Yes, all meals must be paid for. The cost of providing a meal is reviewed every year. For further details please contact 687308.
