Community Meals on Wheels FAQ's


I don’t want to receive a meal at the last moment because I am going out. What should I do?

Telephone the office 01275 882 867 to let us know.  If you phone before 9.30am we can cancel your meal for the day without charge.

Phone us at any time if you are not going to be home for your meal.  As part of our service our drivers must see you when they call so that we know you are well. If you are not at home we will contact others to check you are OK.

I am going out tomorrow for a few minutes, will you leave my meal on the doorstep?

No, for Food Safety reasons and we also need to see that you are OK.

I have special dietary requirements, will you be able to provide me with suitable meals?

Yes!  We can provide many different meals. Ring us.

I don’t want to eat my meal immediately, can I leave it and reheat it later?

It is very important that you eat your meal as soon as it arrives because if you allow it to cool and then reheat it, you are at risk of food poisoning.

I don’t like lamb or pastry dishes do I have to accept them?

We will always allow for genuine likes and dislikes and deliver an alternative.

What else can you do when you deliver?

We can bring the meal to you in your chair, collect cutlery from the kitchen, plate the meal and cut it up. BUT our drivers can only spend a couple of minutes with you as they have many hot meals to deliver within a short time.

If you would like any other support from the driver please let us know.

Can I get a tea meal?

We can deliver a tea with your hot meal which will be a sandwich or salad and cake, yoghurt or fruit – just ask the driver or ring the office.

Any questions or queries you may have just call us on 01275 882 867.
