Meals on Wheels Plymouth, Our Fresh Take at Devon Farm Kitchen

Joe BradshawMay 27, 2025 at 11:38 am

At Devon Farm Kitchen, we believe that everyone deserves nourishing, delicious meals, especially those who might find cooking a bit more challenging these days. That’s why we’re proud to offer a fresh and thoughtful alternative to traditional Meals on Wheels Plymouth services, delivering handmade frozen meals across Plymouth and South Devon.

We know how important it is to eat well, particularly for those living independently, recovering from illness, or simply needing a helping hand. Our service is here to support you or your loved ones in enjoying real food, prepared with care, and delivered with a smile.

What Makes Our Meals on Wheels Service Different?

We’re not your standard meal delivery service. We do things a little differently because we believe good food should feel like home.

Locally sourced ingredients: Our chefs use the best seasonal produce from Devon and the South West to prepare every dish.
Handmade with care: Each meal is cooked in small batches to ensure the best quality and flavour.
Flash frozen for freshness: Once cooked, meals are frozen to lock in nutrients and taste, ready to heat when it suits you.
Delivered on ceramic plates: No plastic trays here. We deliver meals in reusable ceramic crockery, which we collect, wash, and reuse to help the environment.

We deliver to Plymouth and beyond, and we’re proud to serve our local community with meals that feel personal, comforting, and genuinely tasty. You can view our full menu of frozen meals online.

Supporting Independence with Every Meal

We understand the vital role that Meals on Wheels services play in supporting people’s independence. Whether it’s age, disability, illness or just a busy lifestyle, there are many reasons why preparing meals every day isn’t always easy. Our service helps remove that pressure, so you or your loved ones can focus on the things that really matter.

We’re aligned with the same mission as Meals on Wheels UK: to reduce malnutrition, promote wellbeing, and help people stay in their homes safely and independently. But we take it one step further by putting quality and dignity at the heart of everything we do.

We also recognise that social connection is vital. That’s why our friendly drivers are just as much a part of the experience as the meals themselves. Many of our customers tell us that seeing a familiar face on delivery day is just as important as the food arriving hot and ready to enjoy.

A Service That’s Sustainable by Design

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. When we launched Devon Farm Kitchen four years ago, we knew we wanted to create more than just a meal delivery service, we wanted to build something that would protect and support our local environment too.

That’s why we use reusable ceramic plates and bowls, which we collect, sanitise, and re-deliver time and again. This dramatically reduces packaging waste compared to single-use plastics or foil trays. In fact, since starting out, we’ve saved tens of thousands of disposable containers from ending up in landfills.

We’re also committed to sourcing ingredients from local suppliers wherever possible. Not only does this support our local food economy, but it also reduces the carbon footprint of every meal we make. And our entire kitchen and delivery model has been designed with efficiency and environmental impact in mind.

Earlier this year, we were incredibly proud to receive the Gold Award for Online Retailer and to be named Overall Sustainability Pioneer at the Food and Drink Devon Awards, a testament to the values we hold dear. You can read more about our commitment in our previous blog.
