My 88 year old neighbour has them, he thinks they are ok, but need extra veg and potatoes I think, or he wouldn’t find them enough.

My FiL had Wiltshire Farm Foods. They were very good but had to be kept in the freezer. His dementia meant that he put them anywhere when they were delivered so I had to have them delivered to us and take them to him. They were good meals and we ate some that were spare.

Then I found Parsley Box. Friends have tried them and recommended them to others, so word has spread around here. I prefer them because they can be kept in the cupboard (but they are NOT dried, it's a different technique) and I think they're tastier. We use them in the motorcaravan and on occasions when we're late in and don't feel like cooking. Or we did.....

I haven't tried Oakhouse.

I have used oakhouse foods for over a year and have found them excellent. Two sizes of meals 400grm+240grm for small appetites. An excellent choice of meals with full dietary info and a gluten free range. Meals purchased individually or in 7 day or 14day pks of mains only or mains and desserts. They also supply groceries and household essentials. I am 85yrs old and live alone they are perfect for me. No minimum order and free delivery over £30 and only £1 under that figure. I tried Wiltshire farms but was not impressed with them. I would recommend oakhouse. The brochure can be ordered on line.

I have just Googled this, and don't know how they can supply 10 meals and 2 bottles of wine for £19.99 + free delivery!

It sounds as though they are all dried? and you don't have to refrigerate them.

Got a leaflet through the door,from Parsley box offering 10 meals + 2 bottles of wine for £19.99 delivered,this is an introductory offer but does seem a bargain,
Has any one used them or are there better companies out there. Our neighbours have used Wiltshire farm foods.
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
