Our meal delivery Hastings service arrives chilled in temperature-controlled packaging, sent nationwide from the Bay of Plenty.

Dinner sorted through the busy seasons
Hastings knows a thing or two about seasonal rush. When the orchards and vineyards are in full swing, or the calendar fills up with kids' activities, cooking every night becomes a stretch. Our meals take that pressure off with wholesome, ready-to-heat dinners. Think a rich Moroccan lamb tagine, a classic macaroni cheese, or a tender beef stroganoff, all chef-made and on the table in minutes.
- Home-style cooking by real chefs
- Snap-frozen at peak freshness for full flavour
- No lock-in contracts, order whenever suits
- Ranges for every diet and every appetite
A range for every Hawke's Bay household
Our family lunch & dinner meals are the weeknight workhorses, ready when time is short. The kids range slips hidden veggies into meals tamariki actually enjoy. And if you're eating to a plan, our low carb, keto, low cal, high protein, gluten free and dairy free options mean no one misses out and no one's cooking two dinners.
Tip: Pair our meals with your fresh Hawke's Bay produce. A simple side salad or some roast local veg turns a ready-to-heat dinner into a full spread with barely any effort.
How delivery to Hastings works
Since our kitchen is in the Bay of Plenty rather than Hawke's Bay, we've made getting meals to Hastings simple and dependable. We dispatch Monday to Thursday (never a Friday or the day before a public holiday) so your order travels fresh. Urban Hastings delivery usually takes 1–2 business days, and rural Hawke's Bay addresses can be arranged on request. Delivery cost is set by region and shown at checkout, so there are no surprises.
From freezer to table in minutes
Reheating is effortless. From frozen, microwave for 2.5–3 minutes, stir, then rest for 1 minute. If your meal is defrosted, bake at 180°C for 15–20 minutes. Meals keep for up to 3 months in the freezer, and once defrosted, store them in the fridge and eat within 3 days.
