Who will deliver your meal?

A regular driver will bring the meal. However, there will be occasions when there is a relief driver. Please ask to see their identification badge before letting them into your house.

When will your meal be delivered?

Your meal will be delivered between 11am and 2pm on the days that we have arranged for you to receive a meal. The meal will consist of a hot main course and a dessert.

What if you are going to be out?

If you have a hospital or doctor's appointment, or you are going to be out for whatever reason, please let us know that you do not need a meal preferably before 9.30am.  You can either tell the driver or contact the Meals on Wheels Service.

Can we stress that we do need to know if you are going to be out. If we cannot deliver your meal, we have to contact your relatives, friends or neighbours to make sure nothing has happened to you.

What if you have special dietary needs?

If you have any special dietary needs, we will try to provide an alternative meal. For example, you may be a diabetic or be allergic to certain foods.

What will you have to pay?

The cost of the meal is £2.25 per day.

How can you pay?

You can be invoiced monthly and then pay by cheque, arrangements can be made for your invoices to be sent to relatives for payment if you have difficulties dealing with finances. If you prefer you can pay your driver when your meal is delivered - if you choose to pay this way it would be appreciated if you could pay for your meals weekly on either Monday or Friday. 

Payment can also be made on-line by debit/credit card.

What if you have more questions?

Please do not hesitate to contact the Meals on Wheels Co-ordinator for further information.
