Warming meals for cold Southland nights
Southland winters are not for the faint-hearted, and a proper hot meal makes all the difference. Our lunch and dinner meals are the everyday favourites, and the kids range hides veggies where the little ones will not find them.
- Family lunch and dinner meals for busy weeknights.
- Kids range with hidden veggies.
- Low carb, keto and low cal options.
- High protein meals for farm days and active lifestyles.

Tip: Keep a stocked freezer through winter. Meals last up to 3 months frozen, so when a southerly rolls in and you would rather not leave the house, dinner is already sorted.
Why Invercargill households love it
Between farming, shift work, school and the long cold months, cooking from scratch every night is a big ask. Chef-made frozen meals give you a home-cooked feed with none of the effort. No contracts means you order on your terms, whether you are stocking up for the season or just topping up the freezer.
Heating your meals
Full instructions are on every label. In short, from frozen, microwave for 2.5–3 minutes, stir, then rest for 1 minute. If defrosted, bake in the oven at 180°C for 15–20 minutes. Once a meal is defrosted, keep it in the fridge and eat within 3 days.
