About Us
Our Kitchen
The Arrivals Lounge
Our Receiving Department is busy all day, with the freshest ingredients arriving from our carefully selected suppliers. The Receiving team are like customs control, checking the quality of every item that arrives, ensuring it meets our standards and is stored in the best possible condition to maintain its integrity.A Little Kitchen Kung Fu (Chop Chop)
Our Prepping Section has the hum of a busy bees' hive as our team of skilled preppers chop, peel and grate to the background noise of happy chatter. This is the section where carrots are julienned, potatoes are peeled for their mashing debut, and chicken cubes are settled in their marinade for the night.Bring The Heat
While each department of our kitchen has its own level of excitement, most will agree, the Hot Kitchen is where we bring the heat. Our team of talented chefs use mega tilt pans to cook sauces to perfection, braise meat until it its oh-so tender, and cook our famous curries. Every item that passes through our hot kitchen is seasoned and taste tested by no less than three members of the team. Team work makes the dream work.We're Quite Dishy
Just like you might finish off a layered lasagne at home, our Dishing Up team do it the same way, just with many more hands, a lot more speed, and a keen eye for detail. You wont find any crazy machinery here, just ladles, spoons, scoops and human hands at work. This is where final touches are made and crucial last quality control on the meals is checked before heading off for the big chill.Brrrrrrr…
Our process of blast freezing lowers the temperature of food to less -18'C within only four hours (compared to a normal freezer which can take up to 24 hours). This preserves food at a higher quality, locks in nutrients, increases the shelf life of meals, and the extreme cold reduces risk of contamination as bacteria cannot grow in these temperatures.
We like to call this process Freshly Frozen, as our meals have been “locked in time”, and once heated are fresher than most ready-made meals you would find sitting in a store fridge or warmed up in a deli. Freezing is nature’s best and most natural form of preserving food, so you won’t find any weird preservatives in our meals.
