How long will a meal kit stay fresh in the fridge?

Our meals are designed to stay fresh for the week in which you order them. You will find the fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs last for much longer, and while we've all cooked recipes week's after delivery, we recommend and date the meal kits as being used by the next delivery day.

We recommend cooking fish and seafood first to ensure it remains at its peak freshness (some things, like seafood, just don't last as long in the fridge as others).

The shelf life of different meats can vary. All our meats come with an expiry date and if you are not going to eat it before then we suggest you freeze it. Chicken will have the shortest shelf life so we recommend you freeze it on the day of delivery. The owners (Mark and Paul) always freeze their chicken because it allows them more flexibility in what and when a recipe is prepared.

Breads from our bakers are typically without many preservatives, and we suggest freezing those to ensure they don't go mouldy sitting on your kitchen bench. Our breads don't behave like the classic wonder white (which seems to never go stale) and a more authentic and classic bakery product that will require you to preserve its state of freshness.

The incredible quality of our locally grown produce will be instantly recognised when you see just how long the ingredients will last in your fridge. We frequently have herbs and other ingredients last well into the second week after delivery.
