Meals Service
If you are unable to shop or prepare meals yourself Perth &
Kinross Council Meals Service can bring them directly to your
home. You can choose what you would like to eat from a wide
selection of menu choices, and the meals are delivered to you once
every two weeks. They are stored in your freezer, and heated from
frozen in a microwave or normal oven.
The Meals Service is provided by Apetito on behalf of Perth &
Kinross Council. Meals will be delivered to you by Wiltshire Farm
Foods.
How does the Meals Service work?
The service is available wherever you live in Perth and
Kinross.
When you join the service, we will give you a menu and order forms,
so that you can choose and order the meals you want. You can choose
what and when you want to eat.
A driver from Wiltshire Farm Foods will deliver your meals
to your home once every two weeks. You can then give the driver
your order for the next two weeks. If you do not put a new
order, you will get a repeat of your last order.
How much does it cost?
Meals are charged at a flat rate of £2.45 per meal; each
meal includes two courses, either soup and a main, or main and a
dessert.
You need to have a freezer with enough room to store two weeks
worth of meals, and a microwave or conventional oven to heat them.
If you need any of this equipment, this can be arranged
through the
Meals System Co-ordinator.
