Home Cooked Meals is a small local homemade food service. Food is prepared with care, reviewed around availability and delivered locally after the order has been confirmed.

This notice is intended to help customers understand the practical food safety points connected with homemade meals, including preparation, delivery, storage and reheating after delivery.

Meals are prepared in a home kitchen environment with attention to cleanliness, ingredient handling and practical food hygiene.

Because this is a small local service, orders are reviewed manually so we can check availability, preparation time, delivery timing and any notes before accepting the order.

Food is cooked in small batches, which helps keep the menu practical and reduces unnecessary waste.

Some dishes may be available only on certain days or in limited quantities. This is why the website uses order requests and manual confirmation instead of automatic acceptance.

If a dish, ingredient or delivery time can no longer be provided as expected, we may contact you before confirming, adjust the request or decline the order.

Delivery is local and arranged around preparation time, distance, route and available delivery slots.

We aim to deliver food within a practical timeframe after preparation. Delivery times are confirmed manually and may depend on the selected area, order size and schedule.

For practical delivery terms, minimum order rules and local area details, please read here - Delivery.

Once food has been delivered or collected, the customer is responsible for handling it sensibly and safely.

Food should be eaten promptly unless we have given specific storage or reheating guidance. If you plan to keep food for later, it should be stored safely and reheated properly where appropriate.

Food safety and allergen information are connected, but they are handled separately so customers can find the right information clearly.

For allergen details, the 14 regulated allergens, ingredient information and allergy-related order guidance, please read our Allergen Information.

For official food safety and hygiene information, customers can read Food Standards Agency guidance. These links are provided for general information and do not replace the details of your confirmed order.
