MEALS AT HOME

​

• If I sign up to Meals at Home do I have to commit to receiving meals three days a week?

No - you can order meals on only the days suitable for you.

​

• How do I pay for my meals?

Invoices are sent out at the end of each month.

​

• How much do the meals cost?

We currently charge £2.50 for soup, £3.00 for a dessert and £4.00 for a main meal. Fish and chips cost £5. These prices match the amounts charged to Black Isle Cares by our meal providers and there is therefore no profit element included in our charges.

​

• Are you able to cater for people with food allergies and other dietary requirements?

Yes - we liaise with our meal providers and are able to accommodate all dietary requirements.

​

Yes. We currently deliver on a Wednesday to North Kessock, Munlochy and Culbokie.
