Winter warmers
Enjoy wholesome tasty food without the hassle of cooking, says GEORGE NICHOLS
THE winter’s here and there’s never been a time when you want good, hot comfort food more than you do now. A decent bowl of hearty soup for lunch and a good traditional dinner are what make life worthwhile. Yet sometimes it’s simply too much trouble to make them.
Maybe you don’t feel like cooking, or it might be that you can’t get out to the shops, possibly due to the weather or possibly due to your legs! Either way, the answer is there on your doorstep, literally.
Oakhouse Foods is the UK’s biggest provider of straightto-your-door food, home cooking that is delivered to your home.
Oakhouse offers more than 300 recipes, wholesome cooking inspired by traditional recipes.
The dishes include a great variety of roasts and casseroles but there are also a number of international dishes – curries, Mexican and more.
All are great value, too, with mini-meals, ideal if you know what you want but you know you can’t manage too much of it.
The Oakhouse range includes: 160 main meals from £2.99 70-plus mini meals from £2.35 A choice of vegetable accompaniments 11 flavours of soup from £1.80 More than 60 hot and cold desserts, including ice cream, from £1.65 Oakhouse delivers right across Britain from a network of local branches, with free delivery on orders over £30; even below that the charge is only £1. What’s just as important is that customers usually see the same delivery driver each week so they become a familiar and trusted face – someone who will even help store the dishes in the freezer as well as help out with other small tasks. All the service is rich in traditional values – you can place an order with the delivery man or over the phone, while there’s a comprehensive website where you can order while looking at the mouthwatering dishes.
Order a collection of individual meals or an Easy Order Pack, a handy weekly menu featuring seven favourite meals (plus optional desserts) all under one code and price.
Oakhouse is the country’s only home meals service to offer a range of groceries, from essentials such milk and bread to leading brands including Heinz, Andrex, Nestle, PG Tips and more.
Simply order all your weekly essential groceries alongside your Oakhouse meals, and it will all be delivered together.
Whether you like cooking or not, it’s worth having a selection of Oakhouse dishes in your freezer for those times when you simply don’t have the time.
But if you find cooking difficult, or you live alone and cooking seems like too much trouble for one, the Oakhouse delivery service is a delight.
