Meals on Wheels Service
Our Meals on Wheels Service has become a tremendous success for residents in and around our local community. We deliver hot meals to vulnerable individuals from Monday to Friday, including a main course and, if desired, a delicious pudding. Recently, we've expanded our service to offer chilled or frozen meals for the weekends, delivered alongside your Friday meal, ready to be stored in your fridge or freezer.
Our Meals on Wheels service caters to all dietary needs, including allergies, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. You can mix and match different meal choices throughout the week, such as vegetarian meals on some days and regular meals on others, or opt for just the main course one day and a pudding the next. Simply provide your preferences when you register, and feel free to change your choices weekly.

There is no contract whatsoever for our meals on wheels service so you are not obliged to continue with the service for any longer than you wish. The areas we currently cover are Child Okeford, Sturminster Newton, Bagber, Stalbridge, Hazelbury Bryant, Marnhull, and Shaftesbury.
Our Meals on Wheels Selection
We provide a full range of ready cooked, hot food such as roast chicken, cod & chips, beef ale hotpot, fish dishes, cottage pie and roast pork, to name just a few. Our vegetarian choices include vegetable bake, vegetarian sausages, pastas and cauliflower cheese, plus many more. We also offer a pudding too, some are hot, some cold.
