The home-cooked meals will be delivered twice a week, and packaged in recyclable containers which are suitable for both heating and freezing.

The service will begin from Wednesday, March 18.

The sample menu includes lasagna, braised chicken and leek pie, soups, cottage pie with carrots and peas, and roast pork dinner.
